The Outdoor Pool and Shared Garden Area

The Costa Blanca / Valencia / Alicante Province region

Alicante is situated in The Costa Blanca,a very popular destination with 320 days of sunshine a year.Surrounded with salt lakes and white sandy beaches This is an ideal location for keen golfers,offering numerous golf coarses within a few minutes drive.

The old town of Calpe is worth a wander around to see some historical buildings and squares. There's a street market every Saturday in the town and a flea market every Wednesday. In the summer months there are crafts fairs in the old town.

The Calpe area

There are lots of restaurants within the Calpe area including the town, the port and along the two main beach areas of Playa la Fossa and Playa Cantal Roig. There is a wide and varied choice from traditional Spanish, Indian, Tapas, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Swiss, Mexican and others I am sure. Here’s a sample of some tried and tested ones.

Water Park, Marine Park, Roller Coasters and Wildlife! Something for everyone all conveniently located about a 20 minute drive from apartment.

There are boat trips from the harbour to Benidorm along with sailing lessons and other water sports.

There is a little train which takes tourists on a scenic ride between the two main beaches. Approx 5 euros per person, (please check on pricing).

Finestrat - La Marina Shopping Centre - 15 minutes drive
La Marina shopping centre is the leading centre for shopping, leisure and eating in the area of La Marina Baixa. Located in Finestrat, it is very close to the towns of Benidorm and Villajoyosa, with excellent links to the rest of the area. Its area of influence is not limited to the surrounding towns, but it has become the preferred shopping centre for Spanish and foreign residents and holidaymakers from neighbouring regions.

Its architecture and the facilities it provides make it a highly convenient place for family shopping, at the same time being very popular with young and older people thanks to its wide range of leisure facilities, restaurants and fashionable shops offering all the leading Spanish and international brands in one place.

“Best ever family Holiday” The town has a great mix of shops and restaurants and the beaches are fantastic. It is a great place for a family holiday, we have been three times and have never seen any bad, typical holiday behaviour, and are happy and comfortable to let the chilfdren roam around the beach.The apartment was clean, comfortable and ideally placed, with great views of the Penon. It is not too close to the town centre, but not too far to walk into in the evening for a meal.The pool is a great bonus, being spotlessley clean and was never crowded. I would recommend Calpe and the Rubinio apartment to anyone. Response: Dean...many thanks for your review and for coming back. This is the greatest testimonial we can get.........Tim.

“Great place for a family holiday” "We can highly recommend Tim & Anna's apartment in Calpe. The Rubino apartments are ideally situated, close to the beach and harbour, yet away from the town to be able to have some quiet time. The nearest beach is a two minute walk and the town is a a nice 10 -15 minute stroll along the beach front promenade where there are shops and restaurants. The apartment is well appointed and ideal for both young and old alike, we spent a week there with our 23 year old son and future daughter in law and it was suitable for all of us. We loved the large balcony it was ideal for sitting out at night with more than enough room to eat and drink in the warm evenings. The pool area is ideal and very clean, and the apartment block is safe within a gated complex. We will certainly be thinking about a return holiday soon." . Response: Ken, Thanks for taking teh time to carry out a review. We are so pleased that you had such a positive time. Tim.

“Amazing holiday due to a great apartment with excellent customer service from the owners” I have been to this apartment a number of times now, a couple of times with my family but also with a group of work colleagues for a retreat, and then in June this year with a group of lads. Each time I have found the apartment has met all of our needs. This year (2011) we arrived to find that the apartment had been decorated and equipped even more. The table and stools out on the balcony were a great touch, and brilliant for us all to have our first lunch around while basking in the sun and looking out over the stunning views. I would highly recommend this apartment due to, a great location, great pool, lots of quality bars and restaurants in walking distance, and then some great routes for running in the mornings!! Response: John, Thanks for providing us with a review, and for coming back as this is the greatest feedback we can ever get. Tim.

“Fantastic - blown away” We thoroughly enjoyed a two week holiday at the Rubino in Calpe from the 10th June 2011 and had a really wonderful time. The apartment is finished to a contemporary standard and is a great 'adult' place but it also works with families - we had two small children (3 and 1 year old) and they absolutely loved it. A cot, high chair and buggy were provided which really reduced the amount of stuff we had to take on the plane. The apartment was very safe for the children - the balcony had fantastic sea views and the high walls and option to pull glass partitions across meant we were never worried about the little ones playing on the balcony. The really great thing about the location of the apartment is that you have the option of three pools in the apartment complex (a deep one, a medium depth one and a small shallow baby pool), the beach / sea is just the other side of a path right outside the apartment plus a short walk in both directions (either towards the old town or towards the marina) takes you to various different beaches and they are all really lovely. Our friends who used the apartment in the past hired a car but we didn't - everything we needed was in walking distance and we found a Lidl store within about a 10 minute walk so we were able to get cheaper groceries than in the smaller local shops which could be more expensive. There were plenty of options for eating and we had some great meals out. Half way through the holiday at midnight we were unexpectedly treated to a midnight firework extravaganza - we heard them, woke up, went on the balcony and enjoyed the most amazing display from the comfort of the apartment - it was as though they were just for us as they were on a rock jetty about 600 hundred yards directly in front of the apartment. The weather was brilliant (the week before we arrived had been unusually a little mixed), we enjoyed 2 weeks of great sunshine - hot but not unbearable for the children with only one or two cloudy days, one of which there was a very brief rain shower. We had a fantastic time and thoroughly recommend it Response: Will, Reeally appreciate the holiday review you've done. Hope to see you again soon, Tim.

“Frontline,sea views modern apartment-it was amazing and fabulous value.” We stayed in tim's apartment in june for 1 week and we loved every minute of it. As we are very regular visitors to calpe we were already familiar with rubino and its location. But on arrival at the apartment we were so impressed with the size of the space and how modern and clean it was. We took our 1.5 year old and the apartment was perfect for him. He loved the baby pool and in the apartment he could wander around safely as there are high balconys.. With amazing views. We would def be back next september-and when we do we will bring your towel!thanks again for everything and sorry its a bit late this testimonial! Response: Dear Trip ADVISOR......I cannot fully respond to this as I cannot see teh whole review???? Tim.

Guestbook for Rubino

My husband and myself stayed in Tim and Anna's apartment at the Rubino for 2 weeks in May 2009. Our daughter and her husband joined us for the second week. The apartment was plently big enough for the four of us, with each couple having their own bathroom. It was very clean comfortable and spacious.
The balcony was large with stunning views and patio furniture for 6 people.
The kitchen was very well equipped. We entertained 10 people for lunch on 2 occasions easily.
The bedrooms were comfortable with large beds and ample storage in the built in wardrobes. Ceiling fans in bedrooms and living area were a bonus and very quiet on a low speed.
The apartment balcony gets the sun in the late afternoon/early evening and can be very powerful.(Best time to dry the washing)
There are many restaurants in walking distance. Prices ranged from 38.00 euro for a 3 course chinese meal for 4 with wine, to one of our favourites Por Que No which is a Dutch restaurant in the old town serving fantastic food at about 30-40 euro per person (starter and main course). Another favourite is Patio de la Fuente in the old town, run by English people.Set menu 20 euros per person 3 course. Not open every night, try the lamb it is wonderful.
The pool area at the apartments is clean and well maintained.The pool is not heated but that was a blessing as the temperature was 27 most days.
I would not hesitate to recommend this apartment as it is perfectly placed to be near beach/restaurants but just far enough away from the main town area to be peaceful enough to enjoy the sunset from the balcony.

We can highly recommend Tim & Anna’s apartment to you. We have been there twice and had a great time. The first time we went with other couple and we found the apartment totally acceptable for two couples and one child to be there. We found it clean and full of all the things you would need i.e. bottle opener and corkscrew. The pool area is great and ideal for young children as there is a separate kid’s pool. The apartment is situated in an ideal area as there are shops & restaurants in walking distance and the beach is just outside the door of the apartment.

On both occasions we had a quality holiday and would look to go again.

“Wonderful location, great beaches, super resort & the most fabulous
harbour-side fish restaurants!”

Lloyd Cooke



"We found Calpe to be a beautiful holiday destination, and the Rubino a beautiful apartment from which to enjoy Calpe and surrounding areas. The apartment was the perfect size for our family of 4, and offered us everything we wanted a clean and tidy apartment, with stunning views, easy access to the beach and town with family friendly walks. The pools on site were perfect for our boys one learning to swim and the other toddling around in the baby pool. The extra provision of under ground parking / garage and elevator were fantastic and enabled us to transport our family and baggage easily from car to apartment throughout the holiday. I would highly recommend the area, and especially the rubino apartment as a brilliant beach side holiday destination." Hope the above is kind of what you are looking for.... I think I should go into writing travel books????

Sam & Hannah Miller




The apartment is ideally situated, close to all amenities and the picturesque working harbour, yet far enough away from the main part of town to be quiet. The apartment itself is ideal for families or two couples sharing, having two bathrooms, two bedrooms, a well equipped kitchen and spacious living area. There is also a large balcony ideal for watching the stunning sunsets. There are sea views all around and the nearest beach is a two minute walk. The town itself is a very pleasant 10 -15 minute walk along the beach front promenade (ideal for early morning or early evening runs) and provides all sorts of shops and restaurants to round of the holiday experience. My wife and I visited in October and enjoyed 10 glorious days of sunshine and came back looking forward to our next Visit. Highly recommended.

A testimonial for the apartment...."Fantastic views, inspiring coastline and a truly peaceful and beautiful
location. Tim's detailed instructions on how to get there (which is easy)and on local amenities and food outlets, entertainment centres and things to do on days out was a brilliant touch. There is so much to do, you need to plan each day so that you don't miss it, and I highly recommend hiring a car to take full advantage of the surrounding area, whether it's shopping or sightseeing.The facilities in the apartment are top notch, providing hotel-style comfort. We spent a week in Calpe at Tim and Anna's apartment and came back fully refreshed and longing to go back - which we will! Thankyou so much!" - Steve, Jo, Thomas and Daniel...The Joseph family (October 2009)
