The living space is simple luxury with large sofas, dining for up to 8 and flexible mood lighting. Full width glass doors lead from the lounge and the two main bedrooms onto spacious covered terraces with seating for alfresco dining or relaxing. 3rd bedroom has pool view and can be used as a study.

Beautiful sandy beach with many cafes at nearby Calpe

The Costa Blanca / Valencia / Alicante Province region

The Costa Blanca, on the Mediterranean coast of Spain, is one of the most beautiful regions of the entire Iberian Peninsula. The 'white coast', takes its name from the endless miles of beautiful sandy beaches which stretch from the Denia in the north to Torrevieja in the south.

In the north, a ridge of mountains runs parallel to the sea creating stunning coastal scenery and a unique microclimate. The area enjoys more than 315 sunshine days a year and an average temperature of 18-19C. It is easy to see why the World Health Organisation described it as having one of the healthiest climates in the world. Thousands of foreigners come here on holiday, fall in love with the place and make it their home.
The area also attracts wealthy "Madrileños" who buy second homes here to escape the blistering summer heat of the Spanish capital.

Travelling south from Spain's second city of Valencia, home to the stunning City of Arts & Science, you reach Denia, a lovely town dominated by an impressive castle, with a bustling commercial centre, delightful old port and a thriving tourist industry. Crossing the impressive Montgo mountain you arrive at the resort of Javea.

Below this is the small and very pretty fishing port of Moraira with its modern yacht marina and hillside developments of whitewashed holiday villas. The town of Calpe is a modern beach resort but it has an attractive old quarter and the distinctive Peñon de Ifach rock which dominates the skyline for miles around. Next we arrive at Altea, called by the painter Miro 'the jewel of the Mediterranean'. It is one of the most beautiful towns on the Costa Blanca with its steep, winding, medieval cobbled streets leading up to the blue-domed church and plaza which affords one of the best views in the region.

Approximately 12 klms south of Altea is Benidorm the party capital of the Costa Blanca. And next to it is the pretty picture-book town of Villajoyosa, largely overlooked by foreign tourists. And finally, the wonderful shopping city of Alicante.

The Altea / Villa Gadea area

The cosmopolitan village of Altea is one of the most charming and fascinating on the Costa Blanca. Along the esplanade interesting boutiques and shops jostle with restaurants and bars. Narrow lanes of whitewashed houses and gourmet restaurants wind up the hill to a cobbled square with bustling pavement cafes overlooked by the distinctive blue ceramic domes of the church. In summer the old town is totally pedestrianised and the streets around the church are taken up with arts and crafts stalls where local artists exhibit their work. As well as the crystal clear sea and blue flag beaches, the area has plenty of activities within easy reach to fill a family holiday full of fun and excitement:

Terra Mitica – magnificent theme park where ancient civilisations come to life;
Aqualandia – water park with rides;
Mundomare – marine park with dolphins;
Terra Natura - journey through exotic worlds;
Fonts de Algar - natural spring where you can bath in rock pools and climb up waterfalls.

“Spotlless 5 star apartment” We stayed at the apartment with a group of six (of which 2 small children) - the apartment was very clean and had all amenities - we have stayed in a lot of other apartments on the Costas over the years but this is the best one by far. It makes you feel at home right away. The beds (altough the double is a bit small) are of above average quality. The patio and little garden are very well kept and the pool is only 30 seconds away. Despite the closeness of the pool - it is a safe environment for families with small children. The apartment is a 5 minute drive from Altea (please go to restaurant Xef Pirata - it is small but by far the best and original restaurant of Altea). Benidorm is nice to "experience" as long as you can return to Altea after a couple of hours. If you go North - you can visit Calpe which has a somewhat more Spanish feel about it. Response: Thank you for your 5 star review. We are pleased that, like our other guests (see Guestbook below), you really enjoyed this stylish, luxury apartment. However, we were surprised by your comment about the double bed as it is UK King Size 153 x 200 (5' x 6'6"), considerably larger than a UK Double 137 x 190 (4'6" x 6'3"). We are glad you appreciated the mattress itself. It is a very high quality Vi-Spring mattress costing about €2,350 ! The second bedroom also has top quality, extra wide twin beds with Vi-Spring mattresses that 'zip & link' to make a huge 200 X 200 bed (6'6" x 6'6"), even wider than a Super King. We always strive to provide the best quality of everything for our guests to enjoy. Suzy & John

Guestbook for La Bahia luxury at Villa Gadea

* 'What a perfect week this has been! You have created the ultimate in a luxury holiday home. You have thought of everything and left nothing to chance. Given that I live, breath and sleep five-star hotels, this is the greatest compliment I can give you!' Gerrie Pitt, The Ritz Hotel, London.

* 'Thank you for a great holiday! Facilities fantastic. We have stayed in many privately owned properties and yours is by far the most luxurious and accommodating! R & P Wheeler.

* We wanted to write to say a very big THANK YOU for sharing your absolutely fabulous home with us. We both travel extensively and have stayed in some of the world's best hotels but can truly say we have yet to stay in a hotel that outclasses your apartment. The attention to detail is staggering - you've simply thought of everything. It was wonderful to be away from home yet feel right at home from the moment we walked into Villa Gadea. The children were equally ecstatic and revelled in the choice of DVDs, story-teller tapes, close proximity to the pool and of course the jacuzzi!!
Thank you again for the fantastic service and beautiful surroundings - I'm sure we'll be back in the near future.
Dawn & Mike, Surrey

* 'We loved the convenience of a brand new, luxury apartment with the feel of a Villa. It has has a real terrace with grass and oodles of space rather than the usual balcony.' Nichols family.

* 'We admire your courage to share such a wonderfully appointed apartment with us! We lacked for nothing.' McAleer family, Ireland.
