This detached villa is located in Altea Hills, a residential hillside area on the Costa Blanca between Altea and Calp in the province of Alicante. The property offers 378 m² of living space on a 2,161 m² plot, arranged over two floors with four bedrooms and four bathrooms. Built in 1970 and since renovated, the house is key-ready and has a fixed asking price of €2,200,000. The elevated position at roughly 152 metres above sea level provides sea views along the coast, with the nearest beach less than one kilometre away as the crow flies.
Within Altea Hills itself, the comparable offerings frame the local market. Villa Sa Roqueta is listed from €1,650,000 and Villa Saona from €2,690,000, which places this villa's fixed price of €2,200,000 in the middle of the neighbourhood's detached-villa range. The differences between these three come down to plot size, built area, view orientation, and renovation state rather than location, since all three share the same hillside setting, gradient, and access roads. Looking wider, the northern Costa Blanca villa market around Altea, Moraira, and Calp differs from the apartment-dominated coastal strip: detached homes with land above 2,000 m² are limited in supply, and asking prices in the €2 million bracket typically require either a seafront position or a hillside plot with an established garden and pool, both of which this property has. Compared with the Costa del Sol around Marbella and Benalmádena, the Altea area trades higher winter temperatures and a longer tourist season for lower density, greener scenery, and generally lower price levels per square metre, though the gap has narrowed in recent years as Costa Blanca demand from Northern European buyers has grown. The 1970 build year is common in this segment; much of Altea Hills' housing stock dates from the 1970s and 1980s and has been renovated in stages. Buyers comparing this villa against new-build alternatives should weigh the larger plot and established vegetation against the absence of modern construction guarantees, which in Spain typically cover ten years on structural elements for new homes. Transport-wise, the location is well balanced for the region: Alicante airport at roughly 62 km is closer than is typical for southern Costa Blanca resorts, and the tram-train stations at Olla Altea and Calp provide a rail option that most hillside villa areas on either coast lack. For investors, the median provincial income of €15,750 signals that this property belongs firmly to the international and second-home market rather than the local rental market; rental yields would depend on holiday-let demand in Altea, which is seasonal and concentrated in the roughly four-month swimming season.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Altea Hills sits on the slopes of the Sierra de Bernia, south of Altea's town centre and close to the marinas at Puerto Campomanes. The area combines hillside residential calm with short straight-line distances to beaches, roughly 0.9 km, and to Altea Club de Golf at 1.8 km. Train stations at Olla Altea and Calp are within about 4.4 km, and Alicante airport lies roughly 62 km away.
The villa suits households needing four bedrooms and four bathrooms across two floors, with a master suite, dressing room, and direct terrace access. Practical features include a garage for three vehicles, private parking, a storage room, a utility room, air conditioning, and central heating. The private pool and garden serve daily outdoor use, and the plot leaves room for a possible separate apartment near the pool area.
This is an existing home, not a new-build project. The house was completed in 1970 and has since undergone renovation, described by the seller as recent and using modern materials. The construction status is key-ready, meaning the property can be occupied immediately after purchase. No further delivery phase or construction timeline applies; the completion date refers to the original build year.
The plot gradient towards the beach is measured at 13.6%, which is very steep; walking to the coast involves a considerable incline and most residents will use a car. The property description mentions no information about community facilities such as a shared pool or on-site services, and no details are available about energy performance or annual running costs. Local amenities within 2 km are limited, recorded as ten restaurants and one café.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A family relocating to the Costa Blanca permanently may value the four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and three-car garage combined with year-round heating and air conditioning. Buyers seeking a second home with privacy will find the hillside position and enclosed plot align with that need, since Altea Hills has no tourist through-traffic and the terraces face open sea rather than a street. Households that regularly receive guests can use the separate bedrooms and consider the optional poolside apartment. The villa is less suitable for buyers who want to walk everywhere: the 13.6% gradient towards the beach and the limited amenities within two kilometres mean daily life depends on a car. Buyers focused on new construction should also note the 1970 origin, although the renovation has modernised the interior. The property also matches buyers who want space and land rather than a lock-and-leave apartment; the plot requires ongoing garden and pool maintenance. Finally, the location works well for buyers who value proximity to both nature and the coast: hiking trails in the Bernia range, three marinas within about six kilometres, and a golf course 1.8 km away all fall within a short driving radius, while Alicante airport at roughly 62 km straight-line keeps international travel practical.
The villa was originally built in 1970 and has since been renovated; the seller describes the works as recent, carried out with modern materials and including designer furniture in the current styling. The images support this: a white modern exterior, a black marble bathroom, and bedrooms with balconies facing the sea. The renovation appears to cover both the visible finishes and the bathroom fittings, though the exact scope, the age of the roof structure, and the state of the underlying 1970s construction elements would need verification during a technical survey. The technical installation package includes air conditioning and central heating, which together cover both temperature extremes of the local climate. The master suite is fitted with a dressing room and an en suite bathroom, and the four-bathroom count means no bedroom depends on shared facilities. Storage is addressed with a dedicated storage room and a utility room, keeping technical and laundry functions out of the living areas. Parking is a strong point: the garage holds three vehicles and there is additional private parking on the plot. Outdoor construction includes a covered terrace alongside open terraces and a private pool. What the available data does not specify is the insulation standard, window glazing type, electrical installation details, or any energy-performance figures; buyers evaluating long-term running costs should request these documents. The poolside space flagged for a possible separate apartment is an option, not a completed feature, and any such build would require permits and verification of what the local planning rules allow on this plot.
The asking price is fixed at €2,200,000; this is an existing, key-ready home and not a price-list project, so no lower entry price applies. The price reflects the plot size of 2,161 m², the 378 m² built area, the four-bedroom layout, and the renovated condition with private pool and triple garage. Within Altea Hills itself, comparable offerings range from approximately €1,650,000 for Villa Sa Roqueta to €2,690,000 for Villa Saona, which places this property in the middle of the local detached-villa segment. Availability is immediate upon completion of the purchase process, subject to negotiation and notary scheduling.
Daily life in this villa revolves around the elevated hillside setting and the outdoor spaces it provides. The terraces face the sea, and the master suite opens directly onto them, which makes the view part of the morning routine rather than something reserved for occasional use. The pool and private garden occupy the majority of the 2,161 m² plot, and the seller indicates there is space near the pool area to add a separate apartment, which could serve guests or extended family if the buyer pursues that option. The interior is spread over two floors, with four bedrooms and four bathrooms distributed so that the master suite functions as a self-contained unit with its own dressing room and en suite bathroom. The garage accommodates three vehicles, an unusually generous figure for the area and relevant given the steep terrain: most errands, beach visits, and shopping trips will be done by car. Altea Hills itself is a low-density residential zone with no through-traffic function, so the streets stay quiet outside peak holiday periods. Within a two-kilometre radius, the recorded amenities are ten restaurants and one café, which means everyday grocery shopping and services require short drives into Altea or towards Calp. The surroundings lean towards nature and sport rather than urban convenience: viewpoints at Arc de Bèrnia and the Forat de Bèrnia trailheads lie within about three kilometres, and the Mascarat sports centre is 1.8 km away. The climate supports outdoor use for most of the year, with an average annual temperature of 17.9°C, although the swimming season with sea water above 20°C lasts about four months.
The immediate surroundings of Altea Hills are residential and quiet, with the density of housing low enough that the area keeps a settled character outside the summer months. The nearest beach, Platja de la Barreta de Gualda, lies 0.9 km away in a straight line, with Platja de la Solsida at 1.0 km and Platja del Mascarat at 1.5 km; the steep gradient means these walks feel longer than the numbers suggest. For dining, the recorded ten restaurants and one café within two kilometres cover casual needs, while Altea's old town and seafront, with Port d'Altea at 6.3 km, offer a wider choice. The Marina Luis Campomanes at 1.2 km functions as the closest waterfront hub with moorings and waterfront dining. Daily practicalities, supermarkets, pharmacies, and schools, sit in Altea and Calp, both within a short drive. Train access is realistic for the coast: Olla Altea station is 2.3 km away, Calp 4.4 km, and Altea 5.5 km, and the local tram-train line runs along the coast towards Alicante and Denia. Public transport in the immediate area consists of five lines with twelve stops, sufficient for occasional trips but not a substitute for a car on the hillside. In practice, residents drive for almost everything, and the three-car garage is sized accordingly.
The map shows the villa's position on the Altea Hills slope, with the coves of la Barreta, la Solsida, and el Mascarat along the shore below and the marina at Campomanes just east. Hiking terrain in the Bernia range begins directly behind the property.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Altea Hills occupies the coastal slope between Altea and Calp on the northern Costa Blanca, roughly 62 km from Alicante and 103 km from Valencia by straight-line distance. The position places the villa closer to Alicante's airport than most southern Costa Blanca resorts, while keeping the town of Calp, its station, and its beaches within about 4.4 km. Compared with the Costa del Sol further south, this stretch of coast is cooler, greener, and lower in density, with the Bernia mountains meeting the sea directly. Within the local market, Altea Hills competes with other hillside villa zones around Altea and Moraira rather than with apartment developments on the flat coastal strip.
Distances in this section are straight-line unless stated otherwise. The three beaches closest to the villa lie between 0.9 and 1.5 km away, all reachable in a few minutes by car. Altea Club de Golf is the nearest course at 1.8 km, with Club de Golf Ifach at 11.6 km and Meliá Villaitana at 14.9 km. Marina facilities are close: Port Esportiu Luis Campomanes at 1.2 km, Puerto Blanco at 4.2 km, and Port d'Altea at 6.3 km. Alicante-Elche airport is roughly 62 km away and Valencia airport about 103 km, giving a choice of two international airports; Malaga is not practical at approximately 451 km. Rail connections run from the stations at Olla Altea, Calp, and Altea. By car, the N-332 coastal road and the AP-7 motorway connect the area to Alicante in well under an hour and to Valencia in around ninety minutes to two hours depending on traffic. Within the neighbourhood itself, twelve public transport stops across five lines provide limited coverage.

The villa stands at 152 metres above sea level on a slope with a 13.6% gradient towards the coast, which produces the sea views and also the elevation change residents manage daily. The climate data shows an average annual temperature of 17.9°C, typical of the northern Costa Blanca, where summers are warm but the heat is less intense than further south and winters are mild enough for year-round occupation. The swimming season, defined by sea water at or above 20°C, runs about four months, roughly June through September or early October; the private pool extends this window somewhat on sunny spring and autumn days. Rainfall on this stretch of coast concentrates in autumn, with dry summers. The natural setting is a defining feature: the Sierra de Bernia rises directly behind the property, with the viewpoints at Arc de Bèrnia, 2.4 km, and the Forat de Bèrnia, 2.7 km, marking trailheads for mountain hiking. The combination of a maritime climate and an immediate mountain backdrop shapes both the vegetation and the outdoor rhythm of the area.

The beaches closest to Altea Hills are small coves rather than long sandy stretches: Platja de la Barreta de Gualda at 0.9 km, Platja de la Solsida at 1.0 km, and Platja del Mascarat at 1.5 km. The wider Altea coastline, reachable within a short drive, includes the town's pebble beach and the sandy bays towards Albir and Benidorm. For boating, Port Esportiu Luis Campomanes at 1.2 km is the nearest marina, with Puerto Blanco and Port d'Altea also nearby. Golfers can use Altea Club de Golf at 1.8 km, a nine-hole course, or drive to Club de Golf Ifach, 11.6 km, and Meliá Villaitana, 14.9 km, for eighteen-hole layouts. Sports facilities in the area include the Mascarat centre at 1.8 km, Complex Esportiu Joan Montiel at 2.2 km, and Polideportivo Altea Garganes at 4.2 km, covering tennis, paddle, and municipal options. Hiking in the Bernia range is the strongest recreational asset of this particular location, with two documented viewpoints within three kilometres and a network of trails behind the property.
