Where to stay in Sax

Sax is a small town, so your best bet is to stay centrally, within easy walking distance of the weekly market. Town Centre puts you right where you need to be, with local bars and the castle within easy reach too.

If you prefer a bit more choice in accommodation, the nearby city of Elda is just a short drive away and has more options to suit different budgets. Elda Town Centre makes a practical base if you're planning to explore the wider Vinalopó valley area as well.
