Hotels with charm 1
13/09/19
Today’s blog is more serious, therefore I will write about the good hotels that, in my opinion, are the best we have in the Municipality of Altea.
In this beautiful town we have real jewels, some very visible and at the edge of the sea and others hidden in the Old Town
I go from high to low, like property prices
Started by one of 5 stars:

This beautiful hotel, run so efficiently by Enrique Más Cassel, is located in the Villa Gadea Urbanization situated on the edge of the sea.
It has 95 rooms with different categories: from the standard to the Presidential Suite of 180 m2 with two spectacular terraces and it costs € 1,750 / night. As you can see, available to anyone, hahaha

It is located inside Urbanization of the same name and has several restaurants with different types of cuisine to choose from: the Veranda with more traditional cuisine, the most select Miramar, ideal to taste the typical local cuisine with your lunch menu or enjoy of an intimate dinner with a more elaborate menu.
The Palapa that opens in the summer season to savor grilled fish and meat in a casual outdoor environment at the edge of the pool and overlooking the Mediterranean.

The Kitsume restaurant of Japanese cuisine for the most oriental and modern palates.
And the Lobby Bar and cafeteria is a good option to enjoy a drink, a soda or the appropriate cocktail for every occasion or also for business talks.
I continue for one of 4 stars:

Completely renovated in 2019, Hotel Cap Negret has a privileged location facing the sea to be captivated by the magic of the Mediterranean. It has been running for more than 40 years and with perfectly equipped rooms where you can rest while enjoying unique views.

Here you will enjoy a beachfront hotel, delicious international and Mediterranean cuisine with show cooking, entertainment and music every day, gym, swimming pool, palm trees, Beauty Center … And if you are a cyclist, the Hotel Cap Negret is your hotel in Altea : Cap Negret Bike Zone is an exclusive center for cyclists, with capacity for more than 200 bicycles.


Hotel Boutique La Serena is an “adults only” four-star hotel, where tranquility, peace and enjoyment are its strongest points.
It is located on a picturesque street in the old town, just a few minutes from the beach and the liveliest square in Altea, “The Church Square”.
The original house was a three-story manor house and is newly restored in a charming boutique hotel, swimming pool and solarium.

The hotel has twelve spacious luxury rooms with everything you need to enjoy. It has an elegant lounge bar and exclusive wellness area (private).
The hotel is perfect to enjoy the charm of the town and other activities such as walking through Sierra Bernia, all kinds of water sports, paragliding, cycling, etc.

Situated very near fron the other in Old Town we have this 3 stars charming hotel
After almost a year after opening the extension of Abaco, one more stay of the hotel comes to life precisely in the new part, the Abaco terrace offers wonderful views of the Church and our Sierra Bernia.
Without forgetting that we are in the center of the lively Altea, in it you can breathe peace and tranquility.

Accompanied by the relaxing ambient music and surrounded by the carefully chosen chromaticism, at Abaco Rooftop you can enjoy a special morning, afternoon or evening (open 24 hours a day), whether accompanied by a good book and a cup of coffee or from the company of couple and / or friends with a glass of cava.
It is certainly a place from where you can contemplate the stars, have a great talk or simply enjoy the little things that life gives us with the best backdrop.

Hotel Tossal d’Altea is a charming hotel and gastronomic establishment located in an old olive oil production mill 300 years old in Altea. Thus, this traditional building has been restored and in the past it was a farmhouse in an estate of olive, almond and orange trees with the name of Almàssera de Guillem.


Located at 500 m. from the popular Old Town (Cultural Interest), the family-run hotel (Vicenta and Salvador, two colossi) is committed to tradition and preserves the atmosphere of yesteryear to move to the rural Altea that defends the indigenous values and memory of our ancestors.

The Almàssera de Guillem Restaurant is located inside the hotel and is based on Mediterranean cuisine and extra virgin olive oils.

The rustic design establishment has been built on an old mill with 300 years of history as a producer of olive oil. Some mill instruments, such as presses and millstone, have been rehabilitated in the main hall.
The Menjador Almàssera is the main hall. Its design and decoration maintain the aroma of an old farmhouse and an olive ground stone is preserved.

Located at the entrance of the Altea Hills luxury development, the new health and relaxation complex will be the first project in the world to be certified by WELL Hospitality.
The WELL certification seeks to improve the quality of interior spaces and thus improve the comfort and health of users. It is mainly aimed at work and leisure centers, bases its requirements on results, leaving the design team free on how to apply the measures to achieve these results.
To carry out the certification, since there are no precedents, the designers are collaborating with the IWBI (International WELL Building Institute) to develop the pilot program WELL Hospitality.
For his part, the director of the ZEM Wellness Retreat Altea, Franck De Weerdt, told me the details of this new center dedicated to the healthy lifestyle: it will have 95 suites rooms with a luxury design and very Mediterranean style, 65 treatment cabins , several indoor and outdoor pools, sauna, hamman, Himalayan salt cabins, snow booth, fitness, yoga, meditation, etc.
In addition, the Retreat will have its own organic garden that will allow the use of selected BIO foods and products for the clients’ feeding. There will be an exclusive area of luxury boutiques and gardens of more than 50,000m2 with different environments.
“Guests will come because they have a health goal and will have a coordinated stay with services that help them reach them, being stays of 7, 14 or 21 days usually with packages that combine treatments that facilitate weight loss, the detox process, the rejuvenation or fitness and holistic coaching among others ”; said the director. Who clarified that in the world there are only 7 or 8 centers of this type.
Therefore you see friends, that between what is already in the area and what is coming, the future looks pretty….
I don’t want to close this blog without mentioning a colossus of well-being:

although it is not exactly in Altea but if very close, it has been a world reference for years and is so marvelously led by the Bataller family that we are proud of what we have done based on passion, know-how, effort, and great dedication. My congratulations on your achievements


Finally, I must clarify that the texts of this blog have been adaptations of the texts that the establishments themselves put on their websites, but that I personally corroborate and agree with them in everything.
Clarified this, I hope it was of your use.
A greeting and good weekend
