About this property
Altea clings to a hillside above the Costa Blanca with the kind of unhurried charm that feels increasingly rare. The white-washed old town, the church dome that catches the light at sunset, the galleries and small restaurants tucked into narrow streets — all of it remains genuinely lived-in rather than curated. This two-bedroom apartment sits on the second line, close enough to the beach that the salt air reaches the terrace, far enough back that the mornings stay quiet. The apartment spans 99 m² across two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a generous open-plan living and kitchen zone that flows onto a private balcony or terrace. The finish is contemporary and restrained: large-format porcelain tiling throughout, handleless cabinetry in soft neutral tones, integrated appliances, pre-installation for ducted air-conditioning and home automation, underfloor heating in the bathrooms. The building itself is gated and modest in scale, with communal gardens, a swimming pool, and resident parking. Altea is one of the few Costa Blanca towns where the resident population skews slightly toward artists, designers, and long-term owners rather than transient holiday visitors. The beach here — Playa Cap Negre and Playa Paraíso — tends to draw swimmers rather than sun-lounger rows. The marina at nearby Altea la Vieja offers fresh fish and a view west along the coast. The town is twenty-five minutes by car from Alicante Airport, and the proximity to Valencia (ninety minutes north) or the inland mountains around Polop makes it an easy hub for exploring beyond the beach itself. This apartment suits a couple or single buyer anchoring themselves on the Costa Blanca for serious time; the second line location means a home that breathes rather than overlooks the promenade. The €495,000 price reflects both the town's reputation and the build quality — this is Altea proper, not the sprawl inland. Handover is expected within the standard 12–18 month build programme for this phase.
