This townhouse stands in the old town of Benitachell, a municipality in the Marina Alta comarca of the province of Alicante. The property dates from 1970 and has been renovated, offering 219 m² of living space spread over three floors, with three bedrooms, one bathroom and a guest toilet. A 35 m² terrace on the top floor looks out over the surrounding landscape towards the sea and the Peñón de Ifach. The asking price is fixed at €365,000. The house is key-ready and lies within walking distance of local amenities, while the coves of the Costa Blanca coast are a short drive away.
Within its own segment, existing village houses in the Marina Alta, this property competes on space and character rather than newness. At €365,000 for 219 m², the price per square metre sits around €1,670, which is a different proposition from the new-build comparables listed further south: apartments in Torrevieja from €160,000–€169,000 and units in Urbanización El Raso from €227,000. Those projects offer modern construction, communal pools and lower purchase prices, but in denser coastal-urban settings on the southern Costa Blanca, typically with smaller floor areas and a more seasonal, tourist-oriented environment. Benitachell's old town instead offers what those developments cannot: a traditional village centre, a house with its own terrace and views, and proximity to the quieter coves of the northern Costa Blanca. The trade-offs are equally clear: one full bathroom, no pool, no garage, and a building from 1970 whose installations merit technical review. For the same budget, a buyer choosing the Torrevieja apartments gains new-build specification and lower entry cost but loses roughly half the living space and the village setting. Regionally, Benitachell sits between Moraira and Jávea, two of the most established, and pricier, coastal towns of the Marina Alta, where detached villas and seafront apartments command substantially higher figures. A village-centre townhouse here is a way into this part of the coast at a lower entry point, with the inland location offset by the short driving distances to beaches, golf and marinas. Buyers comparing the property with new-build developments should weigh age and layout against space and location, since the two options answer different priorities.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The house sits in the historic centre of Benitachell, at 142 m above sea level and roughly three kilometres inland from the nearest coves. Within two kilometres there are five restaurants, three banks and a café. The surrounding area is residential and village-like, quieter than the coastal strips of Jávea or Moraira, both of which lie a short drive away.
The layout serves year-round living: a ground floor with two reception areas, one with a fireplace, an open kitchen and an inner patio; a first floor with two bedrooms, one with a balcony; and a second floor with the master bedroom and the 35 m² terrace. With 219 m² of space, three bedrooms and a single bathroom, the distribution suits households that value room over en-suite convenience.
This is an existing home, originally completed in 1970 and since renovated, not a new-build development. It is key-ready, meaning no construction phase or waiting period applies. Any dates linked to completion refer to the original build; the property is available in its current renovated condition. Buyers should verify renovation works and documentation through the standard purchase process.
The property has one bathroom plus a guest toilet, which limits simultaneous use for larger households. No private pool, garden, garage or private parking is listed. The narrow staircase visible in the property images indicates a traditional village-house layout over three floors. Distances to beaches of around three kilometres mean the sea is not within walking distance.
This property fits buyers seeking a ready-to-move-into village house in an authentic Spanish setting rather than a modern coastal apartment. Recognisable situations include: a household that wants more than 200 m² of living space for a budget under €400,000, where a single full bathroom is acceptable; buyers planning a permanent or semi-permanent move who value walking access to village amenities over proximity to the beach; and those drawn to the Marina Alta's quieter, more traditional municipalities rather than the busier resort strips. It also suits buyers who prioritise outdoor space with a view: the 35 m² top terrace with its outlook towards the sea and the Peñón de Ifach is the defining feature of the house, more so than the small inner patio. Households needing two or more full bathrooms, a private pool or a garage will find the specification here limited and should weigh renovation options against their requirements. Finally, the property works for those using Benitachell as a base to explore the region: golf at Club de Golf Jávea is 1.8 km away in a straight line, three coves lie within 3.6 km, and two marinas, Moraira and Jávea, are within roughly nine kilometres. Buyers dependent on public transport should note that the municipality is served by two bus lines with six stops, so a car remains the practical mode for most journeys.
The house dates from 1970 and has since been renovated, which is reflected in the combination of traditional structure and updated finishes. The interior photography shows the character typical of renovated village houses in the Marina Alta: exposed wooden beams in the hallway and an upper room, a stone accent wall in the main reception space, white walls with brown-tread stairs, and a kitchen with a tiled splashback and direct access to the outdoors. These elements indicate that original features have been retained alongside modern interventions. Practical points follow from the age and type of the building. A three-storey village house from 1970 will have solid masonry construction, but buyers should verify the state of installations, electrical wiring, plumbing, insulation and window glazing, during technical due diligence, as renovation quality varies by phase of works. The single bathroom on the first floor and the guest toilet on the ground floor define the sanitary layout; no second full bathroom is present. Heating appears to be partially provided by the fireplace in one reception room, which suits the mild local climate, the average annual temperature is 18.2°C with monthly averages between 11°C and 26°C, but buyers used to central heating should assess winter comfort and the cost of supplementary systems. No energy performance data is included in the listing, so an independent survey is the appropriate route to assess thermal behaviour. The terrace, balcony and inner patio are the outdoor components; their waterproofing and drainage merit inspection given the age of the building.
The asking price is fixed at €365,000 for the property as a whole; it is an existing home, not a development with a price list, so there is no range of unit prices. The price covers a key-ready, renovated townhouse of 219 m² with three bedrooms, one bathroom and a guest toilet. Comparable new-build apartments on the southern Costa Blanca, such as those in Torrevieja and Urbanización El Raso, start between €160,000 and €227,000, but these are smaller units in different locations and of a different type; a direct comparison should account for size, age and setting. Additional purchase costs in Spain, transfer tax, notary and registry fees, apply on top of the asking price.
Daily life in this house revolves around the rhythm of a Spanish village centre. Mornings can begin on the top-floor terrace, where the view stretches across the landscape towards the sea and the Peñón de Ifach in the distance; the 35 m² surface allows both seating and dining outdoors. The ground floor works as the social core of the home, with two reception areas, one organised around a fireplace, plus an open kitchen that connects to an inner patio, a typical feature of town-centre houses that provides light, ventilation and an outdoor room sheltered from street noise. The first floor holds two bedrooms and the main bathroom, while the second floor is given over entirely to the master bedroom and its terrace. This vertical layout means the house lives like a small townhouse rather than a modern apartment: stairs connect every level, and the bedroom on the top floor is the quietest and brightest space in the property. The village setting puts everyday services within a short walk: the amenities within two kilometres include restaurants, banks and a café. Benitachell itself is a quiet municipality of the Marina Alta, and the local calendar includes a considerable number of public holidays and traditions that shape village life through the year. For shopping beyond daily needs, the coastal towns of Moraira and Jávea, roughly five and eight kilometres away respectively as the crow flies, offer larger supermarkets, marinas and a wider service offering. A car is the practical choice for beach visits, since the nearest cove, Cala del Moraig, lies 2.9 km away in a straight line.
Benitachell, officially El Poble Nou de Benitatxell, is a small municipality in the Marina Alta comarca of the Valencian Community. The house stands in the old town at 142 m elevation, which means the streets around it slope gently in places, a normal feature of the region's hillside villages. The immediate surroundings are residential and quiet, particularly outside the summer months, when coastal towns fill with visitors while inland village centres retain their year-round population. Daily services are close at hand: within two kilometres there are five restaurants, three banks and a café, covering basic needs on foot. For larger shops, healthcare services and a wider restaurant scene, the coastal towns of Moraira (4.8 km to its marina in a straight line) and Jávea (8.3 km to its marina) are the nearest options. Public transport consists of two bus lines with six stops in the municipality, sufficient for occasional trips, but a car is the realistic means of transport for most households. Electric-vehicle owners have charging points from 2.5 km away, including options in neighbouring towns.
The map shows the house in Benitachell's old town, positioned inland of the coves of Cala del Moraig and Cala dels Testos. Jávea, Moraira and Teulada form the nearby towns, while the Peñón de Ifach at Calpe marks the horizon to the south-west, visible from the top terrace.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Benitachell occupies a position between two better-known coastal towns: Moraira to the south-west and Jávea to the north-east, both within ten kilometres. This places the village in the northern Costa Blanca, roughly equidistant, in regional terms, from the cities of Alicante and Valencia, whose airports lie about 79 km and 100 km away respectively. Compared with the Costa del Sol further south, this stretch of coast is less densely developed and cooler in climate, with a village-centred pattern of settlement rather than large resort agglomerations.
Distances below are straight-line; actual road distances are longer given the hilly terrain. The nearest beaches are the coves south of the village: Cala del Moraig at 2.9 km, Cala dels Testos at 3.0 km and Cala de Llebeig at 3.6 km. Golf is close, Club de Golf Jávea lies 1.8 km away and Club de Golf Ifach 6.0 km. Two marinas serve the area: Club Náutico Moraira at 4.8 km and Club Náutico de Jávea at 8.3 km, with the Les Basetes sports harbour at 9.3 km. A municipal sports centre, Polideportivo Municipal Teulada, is 3.1 km away. For air travel, Alicante-Elche airport is approximately 79 km away in a straight line and Valencia airport about 100 km, making both realistic arrival points; Málaga airport, at roughly 468 km, is not practical for routine use. By car, the AP-7 motorway and the N-332 coastal road connect Benitachell with the wider region. Within the village itself, all listed amenities are within walking distance of the house.

The climate is typical of the northern Costa Blanca: an average annual temperature of 18.2°C, with monthly averages ranging from 11°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. This is a slightly cooler profile than the far south of Spain, which many residents find comfortable for year-round living. The sea warms to at least 20°C for about five months of the year, setting the swimming season roughly from late spring to early autumn. At 142 m above sea level, the house sits above the coastal strip, which contributes to the open view from the top terrace and to slightly cooler evenings in summer. The terrain between the village and the coves descends through a landscape of valleys and cliffs, the Cala del Moraig area is known for its dramatic limestone coastline, and walks in this terrain involve elevation changes. Rainfall in the Marina Alta is moderate and concentrated outside the summer months; the village position inland of the coast avoids the most exposed waterfront locations.

The coast near Benitachell is defined by coves rather than long sandy beaches. The three nearest are Cala del Moraig (2.9 km), Cala del Testos (3.0 km) and Cala de Llebeig (3.6 km), all reached by short drives and, in the case of the latter two, by footpaths through the coastal nature. These are smaller, quieter bathing spots than the broad beaches of Jávea or Moraira, which lie a few kilometres further along the coast. Golf is a notable nearby facility: Club de Golf Jávea is only 1.8 km away in a straight line, and Club de Golf Ifach 6.0 km, giving two courses within a short drive. Water sports and mooring facilities are available at the marinas of Moraira and Jávea. For land-based sport, the Polideportivo Municipal Teulada at 3.1 km offers municipal facilities. The hiking along the cliffs and coves between Benitachell and Moraira is one of the area's distinguishing leisure assets, suitable for walkers accustomed to uneven terrain.
