Beach, Culture, Gastronomy: Stylish Apartments in the Very Heart of Alicante, the sunniest city in Europe with 349 hours of sun monthly
Spanning the three spacious floors of a beautiful, recently-renovated period building, and furnished in a tasteful blend of international sophistication and local charm, allow us to welcome you to your new home away from home!
Ground Floor Apartment
The flat comprises two bedrooms. Bedroom 1 has a queen size bed (1.50 x 2.00 m), bedroom 2 – a Spanish double (1.35 x 1.90 m). There’s a modern new bathroom with a shower and a fully-equipped kitchen. The fibre internet is ultra-fast, the air-conditioning is ultra-cool (if you want it to be!), and sunsets look incredible from the private patio.
As for the area - imagine being 5 minutes on foot from both Alicante’s main restaurant district (‘Mercado’) with its modernist covered market hall, and Santa Cruz - the famous old town full of old terraces and hip bars. The flats are right in front of the imposing Castle of Santa Barbara, which boasts the best view over Alicante, and a stone’s throw away from the city’s main cultural area, including the recently unveiled Cigarreras creativity hub: a converted former tobacco factory, now home to a suite of vertical gardens, exhibition spaces and trendy restaurants and bars.
The nearest beach is a mere 10 minutes away, or you can go on an adventure, take the coastal tram (the nearest station is MARQ, 200 m) and discover the sandy coves and rocky shores of the Costa Blanca that burnish Alicante’s reputation as a sun-and-sea destination extraordinaire. Another day trip not to miss is to the enchanting island of Tabarca, once taken over by Italian pirates, but nowadays tranquil and loot-free as a protected natural area with exceptional snorkelling sights to rival the Red Sea.
If old culture is more your style, Alicante’s award-winning archaeological museum is 500m away, the Museum of Modern Art only a step further (900m), and the Aguas de Alicante museum, famous for its 12th century Arabic drinking wells, is.. well, very close too, we haven’t had the chance to measure the distance just yet.
Finally if you ever get tired of being outside, Alicante’s largest shopping mall is only a short walk away and features a cinema, various restaurants and a supermarket. The Vitas hospital is also nearby.
