Compared to projects on the direct coastline, such as the apartments in Torrevieja (from €160,000) or developments in El Raso (from €227,000), this villa in Polop offers a different type of property and location. While coastal projects focus on beach proximity and a more tourist-oriented environment, the Polop villa positions itself as a permanent living option in an authentic Spanish village. The price of €270,000 for a detached villa, albeit from 1970, is competitive compared to new build offers elsewhere which often are apartments. The inland location at 549 meters altitude provides a different climate and view than the coastal areas. The distance to beaches (approx. 7 km) and larger towns like Benidorm (approx. 15 km) and Alicante (approx. 42 km) position Polop as a quiet base with access to Costa Blanca facilities. The local amenities within walking distance in Polop itself offer a daily quality of life distinct from the more commercial coastal centers.
