Local insight
What an apartment stay is like
The apartment developments in Altea Hills are low-rise, built into the same terraces as the villas, each with a communal pool and landscaped grounds. Most units have a long covered terrace running the width of the living room, which becomes the room you actually use — for breakfast, for the afternoon shade, for watching the light change over the bay in the evening. Layouts are usually two or three bedrooms with a separate kitchen. Lifts are common, parking is normally included, and the grounds are maintained by the community, so there is nothing for you to look after. For a stay of a month or a season, that combination is hard to beat.
Quick FAQ
Are apartments in Altea Hills good for a winter stay?
Yes, and it is the best value time to be here. Check the heating arrangement first, particularly in older buildings, as many rely on reversible air conditioning alone.
Is there a communal pool?
Each apartment development has its own pool and maintained grounds. Several also have lifts and concierge, and the urbanisation's tennis courts and green zones are shared.
Do apartment rentals include parking?
Usually, though the space is sometimes a short walk from the building rather than directly beneath it. Worth confirming its location as well as its inclusion.
How long can I rent for?
Anything from a summer week to a full year, though the most common arrangements are monthly winter lets from November to March and stays of one to three months in the shoulder seasons.
Do I need a car?
Yes. Nothing here is walkable — the beach is five minutes by car and the old town ten, but the hillside is steep and not designed for pedestrians.
Can I rent an apartment before deciding whether to buy one?
We would encourage it. A season in a building tells you how the community actually functions out of season, which is the part that photographs and viewings cannot show you.
What you pay and when
Apartments follow the same seasonal logic as the villas but with a narrower spread, which makes them the more predictable option. Summer weeks carry a premium, though a smaller one than a villa with a private pool. The real value is in the winter let: a monthly contract from November through March, at a rate that often surprises people who have only looked at July prices. Shoulder season in May, June, September and October sits between the two and is arguably the best time to be here at all. Within any season, the variables are floor level, terrace orientation and whether the unit has been recently renovated. A penthouse with an open bay view sits at the top of the range.
Who rents an apartment here
Mostly couples and individuals staying for weeks or months rather than days. Seasonal residents who come back to the same coast each winter make up a large share, and many return to the same building year after year. Prospective buyers form the second group, particularly those weighing an apartment purchase and wanting to know how the communal life actually feels — whether the building is quiet out of season, how the pool is used, what the neighbours are like. The third is remote workers and people on sabbatical who want a simple base with a good view and no maintenance. If you are travelling with several children, a villa will serve you better.
Day-to-day from an apartment
The apartment complexes generally sit a little lower on the hillside than the villa plots, which makes everything marginally closer. The beach and the Campomanes marina are around five minutes by car, Altea old town about ten, and Calpe fifteen. Alicante airport is 45 to 50 minutes. You will still need a car — this is not a walkable position, and taxis up the hill are neither quick nor cheap. What you gain over a villa is simplicity: a lift instead of four floors of stairs, one terrace to sweep, and a pool someone else cleans. On a long stay those small things add up more than you expect.
Before you take an apartment
Short lets need a valid tourist licence, and individual communities sometimes restrict them further, so check both rather than one. For a winter or seasonal contract, ask specifically about heating — many apartments here rely on reversible air conditioning, which is adequate in a well-insulated unit and less so in an older one with single glazing. Confirm whether parking is included and where the space actually is, since some are a short walk from the building. Utilities are normally the tenant's cost and community fees the owner's. Finally, view the terrace at the hour you would use it: orientation matters as much on a rental as on a purchase, and it is easy to misjudge from photographs.
