most well-known towns along the Costa Blanca. Known for its miles of sandy
beaches, Alicante is a starting point for thousands of tourists every year. We
offer a selection of great value villas in Alicante and along the Costa Blanca
coast.
Famous for its excellent weather, the city invites you to take a trip along the coast or to the wonderful island of Tabarca. Along the Alicante harbour you will find beautiful long alleys for nice relaxing walks, enjoying the palm trees and the mild climate. This mild year round climate ensures that an Alicante villa holiday can be enjoyed any time of the year.
With
many historical buildings around the entire city, Alicante offers countless
sightseeing attractions, from cathedrals to churches and of course a wonderful
