Valencia, Alicante, Altea, Spain

Frontline triplex with panoramic sea views — La Olla, Altea



Some homes borrow their views. This one lives inside them. Set on the frontline at La Olla, on the northern edge of Altea, the house opens directly onto the Bay of Altea, with the Mediterranean filling the horizon from dawn until the last light drops behind the Sierra de Bernia.



Arranged over three levels, the house has been shaped around the water. The living and dining space flows straight out to the terraces, where an expansive open terrace runs the width of the sea frontage — enough room for long lunches in the shade of the porch, sundowners at the rail, and quiet mornings with nothing but the sound of the bay below. Large windows carry the light and the view deep into the interior, so the sea is present in almost every room.



The ground floor holds two reception rooms and a snug with a wood-burning fireplace, an office, and two guest cloakrooms. The first floor is given to a library-sitting room and two bedroom suites, each with its own bathroom. The second floor adds two further bedrooms, a bathroom, laundry, boiler room and a private patio — a natural guest or family wing, set apart from the main living areas.



South-facing and set within a gated residential complex, the house is private without being isolated. Residents have direct access to a heated pool and gym, and the property comes with two parking spaces, hot and cold air conditioning, propane gas heating and fitted wardrobes throughout.



Altea's old town, its restaurants, beaches and Marina Greenwich are all minutes away.

La Olla, Altea




Exceptional position, generous proportions and complete privacy make this a rare offering on Altea's frontline — equally suited to permanent living or a second home on the Costa Blanca.







Living in La Olla, Altea



La Olla is the stretch of coast immediately north of Altea town, where the Sierra de Bernia comes down to meet the sea. It is one of the most established residential addresses on the Costa Blanca North, made up largely of individual villas and small gated complexes set directly on the water, with no high-rise development.



The area sits within walking or short driving distance of Altea's old town, a hillside quarter of whitewashed houses and cobbled streets crowned by the blue-domed church of the Virgen del Consuelo. Altea has long been the artistic centre of the region and is home to the Fine Arts faculty of the Universidad Miguel Hernández, which gives the town a year-round cultural life that most of the coast lacks — galleries, artisan studios, the Palau Altea concert hall, and a restaurant scene that ranges from seafront chiringuitos to fine dining.
