As soon as we entered our apartment we were greeted with a fabulous view of the sea, the pool and the perfectly manicured garden. Very much an oasis and a perfect place to get away from any hustle and bustle.

Altea is a fabulous place for a long weekend or to visit for a day, but it's not somewhere I would recommend for a two week holiday, unless you are someone who is looking for a, getting away from it all and relaxing holiday, with the occasional visit to the many restaurants in the old town of Altea dotted around the very beautiful Altea church.
