Cases Noves

Top choice in Alicante Province


Run by brilliant Sofia and Toni, this is B&B taken to a whole new level and worth travelling a long way for. The five thoughtfully designed bedrooms come with fresh flowers and numerous excellent details such as a tablet on which to watch Netflix or order your dinner. The gorgeous terrace offers views of the distant sea and the floodlit village.

There's a fireplace in winter and year-round great advice on local sights and the splendid opportunities for hill walking and cycling (they’ll fit you out with hiking kit and a packed lunch for €7.50). Three-course evening meals (€22.50) are fantastic, but if you can, time your arrival to coincide with the 10-course Saturday-evening affair (€30) – absolutely fabulous. It doesn't take young children.

Book ahead.
