Where to stay in Altea
Altea is a small town, so staying close to the old town puts you within easy reach of the market and the rest of what the town has to offer. Altea Old Town is the most convenient base, with the market, the beach, and the main restaurants all within walking distance.
If you prefer somewhere with more of a resort feel, the seafront area around Altea La Vella has a good selection of hotels and apartments. The Hotel SH Villa Gadea is a reliable option with sea views and easy access to the town centre.
