Photos and Description of this Los Altos holiday house
2 Bedrooms; 2 bathrooms; sleeps 6/7

This home is on a very friendly quiet estate on the edge of Toerrevieja at Punta Prima (Los Altos). This is still a Spanish town with very few high rise hotels. There is a supermarket within 5-10 minutes walk. There are numerous small beaches within 10 minutes drive of the home, which cater for all tastes. There are many excellent walks in the mountains or nature reserve near to the home. The home is located centrally for 4 championship standard golf courses. The home would suit both a couple who want a holiday away from the stresses of modern life or a family seeking a central base for an excellent holiday in the sun. The home is fully furnished to a good standard, (beach towels, cool box etc. at no extra cost), Satellite TV (link to provider website available), with air conditioning in the bedrooms. The communal pool is large and close by, and there is ample parking. The home is between the 2 major airports of Alicante and Murcia. Further details can be found on my own website.

This is a quiet estate with a mix of properties for rental and retired people living there all year round. It is very friendly and all my guests have been impressed with the help they have received from my neighbours. The home is close to several beaches and Torrevieja town itself. There are about 20 odd restaurants and cafes with cuisine from around the world within 15 minutes walk - ideal if you like a drink and do not want to drive! Further a field there are mud baths, hot springs, fantastic mountain walks and various children activities e.g. Go Karting, Theme Park etc. There is a children's play area on the estate with basketball courts and football available. There is literally a supermarket within 5 minutes walk from the home. It has everything that you will need for self catering.

Further details for this holiday house rental in Los Altos, Spain

Local Amenities - what to do: The home is centrally located so nothing is more than 15 minutes drive away.

The beaches range from the long wide ones just north of Torrevieja to the many small and large coves near the home. In summer most beaches have lifeguards and First Aid, several offer water sports. There are also reputed to be nudist beaches near by.

Torrevieja boasts a 10 pin bowling alley, cinema and water park. However at Benidorm- 90 minutes away- there is a really good theme park - Terra Mitica.

There are many other activities to try out e.g. a local Go Karting track; scuba diving; hot air ballooning. I have left a folder in the home with leaflets from as many places as I can but my keyholders are always there to help out

The Emerald Isle is a complex with a great swimming pool and non membership bowling rink

There are many local markets, the best being on a Friday in Torrevieja.

There are other places to explore a short drive away. Above all get out, explore and enjoy.

Local Amenities 2 - Food & Golf: Torrevieja is a great place to eat especially in the evenings on the sea front where you can watch the 'town' go by along the promenade. In the commercial centre there are several 'fast food' facilities and a more 'cafe' culture.

Closer to the home there are many restaurants from the large Pagado of the Chinese to my favourite the Nautilus -right on the sea's edge. The range is world wide and it need not cost the earth as rates are very reasonable.

The golfing is literally world class and there are 4 championship standard courses within 15 minutes of the home. Details of these can be found on my website. I am no golfer so I cannot do them justice by trying to describe them but their websites can.

Home's own website: I have designed my own website, please ask for details and sorry for the spelling mistake!!

This has a lot more details on it of my home and pictures of the area etc.

Above all please feel free to contact me and I will try to help as much as I can.

Welcome to my home in the sun.

Golf:

This is a golfers paradise with 3 courses within 15 minutes and 2 more 20 minutes away. More details available on my website.

Other Activities:

Bowling.

High standard of accommodation, a home from home

Review Submitted: August 31, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011
Stayed for 9 nights at this home from home. Very clean and well cared for accommodation with everything you could ever need. Both the owners and the keyholders were extremely helpful and we organised our initial transfers via them.

We visited friends whilst we were here and found that a rental car is ideal as you can then explore much further afield.

The beach is a short walk away and is very quiet with quite a rural feel. Restaurants are situated in a nearby shopping mall with a wide choice; the Italian is particularly good and so was the Captains Table Fish & Chip restaurant who will steam your fish if you prefer it that way!
We also shopped at the large supermarket which had friendly staff and we did eat 'at home' a couple of times.

If you are looking for bustling English Seaside Abroad then this is not for you but if you are looking for a nice neighbourhood in Spain and are willing to explore then this is perfect. The cheap buses were also brilliant and very regular and went to Torreveija from a stop round the corner from The Sports Bar on the Main Road (on the way down to the beach)

The communal pool in the complex is just around the corner and was clean and well kept.

Perfect base for family holiday

Review Submitted: March 24, 2011 Date of Stay: June 2010
This property is excellent value for money. It was as described in a peaceful residential area populated by locals as well as ex-pats of various nationalities.

Having towels, beach towels (even English language TV - very handy during the World Cup) and access to a quiet swimming pool made this a carefree base for a holiday for 5 of us (including 3 children 10, 14, 17). Good choice of restaurants 10 min stroll away and about the same to access beautiful sea side walks into Torreiveija. Having proper supermarkets walkable (or a short drive for the furthest ones) means we could properly without paying exhorbitant mini-market prices.

We could not stop telling friends about our excellent, bargain holiday. The keyholders were very friendly and approachable as welll as helpful in sorting out minor issues.

Restaurants

The Wok Buffet in the nearest shopping centre is excellent value for money with fresh ingredients cooked (in a wok) to your requirements - eat as much as you like (with 2 teenage boys well over 6 ft tall this was a big hit!). The nearby Italian in the same place also excellent.
Great Mexican on the beach halfway to Torrevieja.

Shopping

Unfortunately the really close supermarket (which was the best) closed down while we were there, but the next one is really excellent. Also a Carrefour and a couple of others along the main road.

EL Corte Chino is a unique experience and the closest shop.

Minor Issues
Nothing is perfect, but even the imperfections here are small.
The swimming pool seemed to have a bit too much chlorine in it and was ruled by a strict residents group that some kids may find restrictive. No problem as it was kept clean and accessible by key only.

One of the air conditioning units was not working properly but we lived with it.

The property was clean and had eveything you could possibly need (it is funny how a washing machine seems like a luxury when you are on holiday - but it was very welcome). The roof was a great drying place for the washing.

In short, excellent value for money, relatively stress free in a very central location that is also quiet. You do need a car.

Owner's Response: Thank you for such a postive review. Spain has been hard hit by the recesion and hencde the nearest supermarket closing.

I did not know that the air con was playing up and it will be sorted. Sorry.

Glad you enjoyed it

Excellent location. Couldn't be better.

Review Submitted: September 11, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2010
Just returned from a fantastic 10 day stay at this property. The owner was superb all the way through the booking process, very helpful with car hire enquiries etc. The property is spotlessly clean and has everything you could need, a real home from home. The bedrooms are air-conditioned (a must at the end of august). The kitchen,lounge,bathrooms and showers are all excellent.
The pool was absolutely superb, most days it was the temperature of bathwater, and although it is shared with other properties it was relatively quiet for all our stay.
A hire car is probably a good idea to get into Torrevieja centre and the beaches.
Many of the local beaches are fantastic, especially the main beach along the drive into Torrevieja, very safe, warm waters, and all the beaches have foot showers and bars for beers, soft drinks and ice cream.
We will definately be returning, and cant rate this property high enough.
The keyholders, and in fact all the surrounding locals and residents are polite and helpful, one chap from a few doors away took me in his car for a drive round to point out the best restaurants and shops/bars.

A very well deserved 10/10.

Thankyou.
