Hotel Chamarel

Top choice in Dénia


This delightful hotel, tastefully furnished in period style, occupies a lovably attractive, 19th-century bourgeois mansion. Rooms surround a tranquil patio and are all different, with space and lots of character. Bathrooms artfully combine modern fittings with venerable floor tiles. The internal salon with marble-topped bar is equally relaxing. The whole place is a capacious gallery for the artist-owner's paintings.

It has such a range of chambers that it likes you to tell it your priorities beforehand, so it can find you the right room. Prices drop significantly off-season.
