Overview
Perched on a hillside just one kilometre inland from the Spanish coastline is Villa Marina Alta. With its bright and airy interior, it's a welcoming holiday home for up to six people.
Located inside, the open-plan living area and kitchen have a simple but airy feel and are connected via open archways. The lounge especially is a good size, allowing a large family or extended family group to mix or find their own space. All your accommodation is on one level, and Villa Marina Alta offers air conditioning in two of the three bedrooms, with the third having a portable fan if you need it. One bedroom has an en-suite toilet for guests to use, whilst there is a shared bathroom for everyone to use.
A real bonus feature at this villa is the veranda-style conservatory which leads out to the pool terrace. You can sit here with a morning coffee, pondering the delights of the day ahead or reflect on everything you've seen and done as the sun goes down, sipping a glass of local wine, perhaps. It's glazed with patio doors to make it an inside-outside room from where you can admire the spectacular view.
Moving outside, it's all about that view. Wow! The outside space isn't huge, but the 180-degree view of the mountains and teasing glimpses of the sea are fabulous. And all of this can be enjoyed from your very own private terrace. The pool is attractively shaped and tiled, with steps to lower yourself into the refreshing water for a leisurely swim or splashy family time with the kids. Stairs lead down from the pool terrace to a gravelled garden dotted with Mediterranean trees and shrubs.
Just a kilometre downhill is your nearest beach, named Urques, but Calpe's eleven-kilometre coastline features several beaches, coves and marinas for visitors to enjoy. Many of these offer water sports, white sand or rocky coves from where you can soak up the sun or take a dip in the clear, warm waters of the Mediterranean.
The Rock of Ifach juts out from the shoreline and physically dominates this stretch of coast. It is a popular tourist attraction within the region and just next to Calpe. The town itself is busy and dynamic, full of tourists and places to visit. Everyone's tastes are well-served by this popular and lively resort. Experience it all from the luxury of Villa Marina Alta and your private pool!

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa Marina AltaCalpe is a favourite destination for tourists along the Costa Blanca. What was once an old fishing port has expanded into a thriving holiday hotspot, best known for its white sandy beaches and delicious seafood. There's something for everyone in Calpe with nightclubs, restaurants and pavement cafes, a bustling port and marina, several award-winning beaches and protected nature reserves.
One of these includes the mass of limestone rock on Calpe's coastline called Penon de Ifach. It towers over the beaches at 320 metres and is a recognisable landmark not only for Costa Blanca but across Spain. Another nature reserve is Les Salinas, or salt flats. Set alongside Penon de Ifach, this beautiful expanse of water attracts birds from all over the world. Flamingos often congregate here, making Les Salinas their home for a while. As well as wildlife, Calpe also has a fascinating history. Iberian tribes settled here before the Romans and then the Christians and Moors. Visit the Roman baths, Moorish quarter or Museum of Archaeology to learn more.
If your palette is demanding authentic Spanish cuisine, you'll still find traditional bars serving tapas with a glass of beer or Jalon, the locally produced wine. Many regional dishes are made with rice – arroz negro is black rice, or arroz del senyoret is similar to paella. Almonds grow well here, and so you'll see nougat for sale at many a street stall. Try jijona ice cream – made with nougat and to die for!
The almonds, oranges, lemons, olives and cherries from the groves and orchards around Calpe are a testament to the wonderful climate on the Costa Blanca. On average, you (and the fruit and nuts) will bask in eleven hours of sunshine a day throughout the summer. Mediterranean heaven!
Calpe is an amazing mix of ancient, natural, modern and urban, but all elements of this town live happily side by side. When you've seen and done enough for the day, your hillside retreat awaits. Return home to Villa Marina Alta and relax on a sun lounger, take a dip in your private pool or lose yourself in the view.

Region
Costa Blanca is famous for the ‘Brits Abroad’ culture, and it’s understandable why it attracts such crowds throughout the summer months. Guaranteed weather, world-class beaches, tons of family facilities and bumpin’ nightlife is a recipe in popularity. Why not experience a different side of Costa Blanca with a villa holiday?
Here’s some handy tips for the best eats, things to do with groups, family activities and the must-sees for Costa Blanca. You might need two weeks’ holiday after all….
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesVilla Marina Alta's private pool and proximity to the beach make it a perfect villa for a family holiday. It is a child-friendly villa in that all the accommodation is on one level, and the outside plot is enclosed. You have a bath as well as a shower, and there's plenty of space for older kids to spread out both indoors and outside.
Calpe is lively and entertaining, but if you're after adrenaline rides, head for Benidorm. There are several theme parks and water parks within thirty minutes drive. You can also get a cultural 'fix' in Calpe by visiting the ancient town centre or Roman ruins.
30 minutes to the north, the quaint town of Moraira offers a wonderful day out, with pleasant beaches and rich history. Playa de l'Ampolla is great for young children, whilst to the edge of the town El Portet is a wonderful place to snorkel. You can hire kayaks to explore the rocky outcrops or follow a trail out to the old watchtower perched upon the cliff top.
If you want to keep the children active on your holiday, there are water sports a-plenty at the marina and harbour or golf and tennis are also within easy drive of the villa.

All in all, everything was really good. We liked the fact that the air conditioning was already on when we arrived.
