This detached villa stands in the Albufereta district of Alicante city, roughly 920 metres on foot from Platja de l'Albufereta. The property offers 473 m² of living space on a 1,608 m² plot, with six bedrooms, three bathrooms, a private pool, garden, two garages and a full basement. Completed around 1970, the house reflects the solid construction and generous room dimensions characteristic of that era. The setting is urban yet residential: a supermarket 232 metres away, a hospital 2 km, and fifty public transport stops within the city network. Alicante-Elche airport sits approximately 9 km away in a straight line.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa occupies a residential pocket of Alicante between the city centre and the northern beaches. Albufereta beach is a ten to twelve minute walk; the marina and old town lie within 2-3 km. The area functions as a year-round city neighbourhood rather than a seasonal resort, with shops, schools and public transport integrated into daily life.
The property suits households needing substantial interior volume: six bedrooms, a 473 m² footprint, service quarters, office space and a basement. The 1,608 m² plot adds a private pool, mature garden and covered outdoor areas. Parking for four vehicles across two garages removes on-street dependency in an urban district.
This is not a new-build project. The villa was completed around 1970 and is delivered in a finished state with gas central heating, air conditioning in several rooms, marble flooring and original features. Renovation works, from cosmetic updates to full refurbishment, are common for properties of this age and should be budgeted separately.
The property does not offer sea views, a modern energy certificate, communal facilities or contemporary open-plan architecture. Air conditioning covers only part of the house. As a 1970s building, it lacks current insulation standards, and features such as the bunker and outbuildings are original rather than newly built. No fitness or spa amenities are included.
The property fits several recognisable situations. A large or multi-generational family needing six bedrooms, a service room and separate office space within one dwelling will find the layout directly usable. Households relocating permanently to Alicante benefit from the walkable urban setting: schools within 2 km, a hospital at 2 km and fifty public transport lines. Buyers seeking a substantial plot with pool and privacy inside a city, rather than in a coastal estate or rural finca, represent another fit. The 1,608 m² garden with private well and four-car garaging is uncommon this close to Alicante's centre and beaches. The house also suits buyers willing to undertake selective renovation. Original features such as marble floors, bathtubs and dark-wood joinery carry character but predate modern insulation and open-plan expectations. Purchasers planning to modernise systems, upgrade the kitchens and bathrooms, or reconfigure rooms can treat the asking price against a renovation envelope. Less suitable are buyers wanting a lock-and-leave holiday apartment, contemporary energy performance, sea views or communal facilities such as a gym or concierge. The property demands ongoing garden and pool maintenance, currently handled three days per week by a gardener.
The construction dates from around 1970, an era associated with substantial load-bearing structures, generous ceiling heights and room dimensions larger than typical modern builds. Interior finishes include marble flooring, a dark-wood kitchen with beams visible in the imagery, ornate chandeliers, parquet in the dining room and a glass-fronted sunroom. These are original or period features rather than contemporary specifications. Climate systems are mixed: gas central heating serves the whole house, air conditioning operates in four rooms, and one bedroom has a ceiling fan. This partial coverage means summer and winter comfort varies by room. Bathrooms retain classic bathtubs. Functional infrastructure includes a full basement across the house footprint, two garages with automatic doors, a utility courtyard with washers and sink, storage rooms and a private well. Building plans are available, which supports technical due diligence. Buyers should commission an independent survey covering electrical installations, plumbing, the well's legal status and the pool installation, as systems of this age routinely require partial or full replacement. No energy certificate figure is recorded in the available data, so energy performance should be verified before purchase.
The asking price is €1,350,000 for the completed villa, delivered in its current state. At 473 m² of living space, this corresponds to roughly €2,850 per m² of built area, excluding the value attributed to the 1,608 m² plot, pool and double garage. Comparable new-build apartments along the southern Costa Blanca start from €160,000-€227,000, but those are smaller units in different locations and of a different asset class. Buyers should factor in maintenance costs for the garden, pool and well, plus any renovation budget for the 1970s building fabric.
Daily life here centres on the scale of a large family villa set within a functioning city neighbourhood. The ground floor follows a classic layout: entrance hall, main living room with air conditioning, a second sitting room, a service room with shower, and an independent kitchen with pantry, small office and interior courtyard for laundry. The upper floor holds the sleeping zone with four of the bedrooms, two bathrooms with bathtubs and a private office. The full basement runs beneath the house, usable for storage, a wine cellar or leisure space. Outside, the 1,608 m² plot functions as a private garden with a large swimming pool, a separate playhouse for guests or recreation, a private well for irrigation, and parking for four cars in two garages with automatic doors. A gardener currently maintains the grounds three days per week, indicating the level of upkeep the plot requires. The rhythm of the area is urban rather than resort-like. Albufereta beach is walkable for morning swims or evening walks; the supermarket at 232 metres covers daily shopping without a car. Marina Alicante, the old town and the castle viewpoints are all within a short drive or bus ride. With eleven schools and 55 pharmacies within a 2 km radius, the location supports permanent residence, schooling and healthcare access, not only holiday use. The hospital at 2 km is reachable on foot or by one of the fifty bus lines serving the city.
The Albufereta district sits between Alicante's centre and the San Juan beach strip, combining residential calm with urban connectivity. Straight-line distances place the nearest supermarket at 232 metres and the beach at 920 metres, meaning both are genuine walking options. The hospital at 2 km and eleven schools within 2 km make the area practical for year-round family residence. With 50 public transport lines and 50 stops across the city, daily mobility does not depend on a car, although the four-garage capacity accommodates multiple vehicles. The immediate 2 km radius contains 271 restaurants, 141 cafés, 64 bank branches and 55 pharmacies, a density consistent with central city living. For recreation, sports centres lie at 600-900 metres, Marina Alicante at 1 km, and viewpoints such as the Mirador del Castillo at 900 metres. EV charging is available at 1.3 km and 1.7 km. The terrain is essentially flat, with a 1.5% slope toward the beach, so walking and cycling are realistic for most errands.
The map shows the villa in Alicante's Albufereta district, with the beach under 1 km to the east, the marina and city centre to the southwest and the airport roughly 9 km to the southwest. Supermarkets, schools and hospitals cluster within the 2 km ring, illustrating how daily life here stays within a compact radius.

Alicante records an average annual temperature of 19°C with a seasonal range of roughly 12-26°C, and approximately 3,873 sunshine hours per year, figures consistent with one of Spain's sunniest provincial capitals. The swimming season extends to about five months with sea temperatures at or above 20°C. The city sits at around 35 metres above sea level, and the villa's immediate surroundings are flat, with a 1.5% gradient toward the coast. This combination means outdoor use of the pool, garden and terraces is realistic from late spring through early autumn, while the Mediterranean winter remains mild enough for year-round outdoor living, albeit with cooler evenings from December to February.

Within the wider Costa Blanca market, this villa occupies a different segment from the comparable new-build apartment projects in Torrevieja and El Raso, which start at €160,000-€227,000. Those developments offer two- and three-bedroom apartments with communal pools, aimed largely at holiday and lock-and-leave buyers in seasonal resort towns. This property, at €1,350,000, is an urban family villa in the provincial capital, trading apartment convenience for land, volume and privacy. Alicante city itself differentiates from Torrevieja and the Orihuela Costa on several measurable points: a year-round population of over 366,000, a hospital within 2 km of the property, fifty public transport lines and a full range of state and international schools. Property in the city consequently behaves differently from resort stock, with demand driven by permanent residents, professionals and families rather than tourism cycles. The Albufereta district sits closer to the centre than the San Juan beach strip while retaining low-density villas, some with large plots such as this one. Buyers comparing the two should note that San Juan offers newer builds and a long sandy beach, whereas Albufereta provides shorter walking distances to central amenities and the marina. At roughly €2,850 per m² of built area before attributing plot value, the pricing reflects the scarcity of 1,600 m² plots with pools inside a city of this size, rather than a comparison per square metre with new apartments further south.
