THE PROPERTY - CASA VERANO
Luxurious apartment within this idyllic, private development has been designed with total comfort and style in mind. Marble floors, elegant yet comfortable seating and decor, hot/cold air conditioning and radiant underfloor heating for year round temperature control all make for a relaxing and pampered experience. For that real health spa feel, relax in your own inviting private outdoor jacuzzi, surrounded by terracotta tiles and lit by underwater lights. The master bedroom has wall to wall glass doors leading to the terracotta sun terrace and an ensuite bathroom complete with jacuzzi/spa bath. The covered terrace has a sofa, armchair and coffee table relaxation area, wooden steamer chairs to relax and top up your tan and a stylish dining table with 6 chairs. Wander through the beautifully landscaped gardens of Villa Gadea down to the beach and crystalline waters of the Mediterranean Sea or take a couple of steps down to the pool.
Generous terraces and a private garden with sea views, extend the living area, offering additional space and all-day sun. Overlooking the largest pool of 10 pools within Villa Gadea, the garden is raised above its surroundings providing privacy whilst allowing easy access to the pool and an eye to be kept on the children. When you are tired of simply relaxing in the sun, take a stroll through the verdant, landscaped grounds of sub-tropical palms and hibiscus, through private gates to the secluded La Olla beach with crystal clear water and summer beach bars, or wander down for a drink and entertainment at the 5* Villa Gadea Hotel and watch the sun set over the bay.

LOCATION
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. In the old quarter, 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.
ACTIVITIES
As well as the crystal clear sea and blue flag beaches with all the usual watersports, the area has plenty of activities within easy reach to fill a family holiday full of fun and excitement. * Terra Mitica - a magnificent new theme park where ancient civilisations come to life. * Terra Natura - a theme park introducing the nature of different continents. * Aqualandia - a water park with rides and fun for everyone. * Mundomare - a marine park with dolphins. * Fonts de Algar - a natural spring where you can bath in rock pools and climb up waterfalls.
GUEST COMMENTS for Casa Verano
• The apartment has been wonderful. Perfect for the family, the baby enjoyed the stay. Everything has been perfect, we really enjoyed it. Don’t want to go home. We loved our stay and would come back.
It’s like watching ‘cribs’ on MTV being here. I feel famous!

• The Villa Gadea development is immaculately landscaped and maintained. It is particularly well located for immediate access to the AP7 motorway and the N332 coastal road, thus making it handy to visit other parts of the Costa Blanca.
The Altea Olla railway station is about 15 minutes walk from Villa Gadea and affords the opportunity to use the Alicante - Denia light railway to visit neighbouring towns without a car.
The adjacent Hotel Villa Gadea has a spa and gym open to non-residents, and I was able to get a month's membership of the gym for 48 Euro, with a fluffy towel provided on each visit.
This apartment, Casa Verano, is, as described in the website, comfortable and stylish, with high quality furnishings and fittings. It provided us with a very comfortable stay throughout the month.
The local agents, Pam and Sandra, were particularly welcoming and helpful.

• This flat was very confortable and would recommend it if you wish a holiday in a quiet environment. We enjoyed the pool every day and shared it with almost nobody....
Beautifully laid out, nothing was missing.
Very secure for young children, perfect for families.
Also very close to Calpe and Altea centers, but far enough to avoid the noise of the croud....Perfect.
