Apartment/ flat - Alicante

Anotina was a brilliant host. Collected us from the airport and returned us at the end of our break. Fruit and drinks provided on arrival. Nothing could be faulted. Will go again.

We went to Urbanova in August 2017 for 14 days for the first time. We had such a brilliant time! The apartment is really nice, clean and very well equipped! A safe is in the apartment, which I found very helpful. A very nice place with a good location and the owner, Antonia, is very friendly and helpful. She is there for everything you would need. She texted us many times to make sure everything is okay. Antonia left for us in the fridge a bottle of wine, cans of beer, bottles of still water, juice and she also bought fresh fruits for us! We even had toilet paper, hand wash liquid, kitchen towels and laundry detergent!!! Very kindly, Antonia offered to take us to the hospital because my little girl had ear infection during our stay. She drove us to all the pharmacies around to make sure I find the antibiotics I needed for my little girl to get better.

The beach is absolutely lovely, very close to the flat, around 5 minutes walk, and you can see the swimming pool from the balcony. The pool was really clean, very well looked after, and the water was very warm, more like a jacuzzi! Everyone is very friendly here!

There is a Carrefour Express on the beach for bits and bobs, but if you want to make a proper shop you need to go to Alicante. We spent few days in Alicante too and is very nice. It's a bus, 27, which takes you to Alicante and it's ever so cheap, like 1.45 euros per person or you can take a taxi which is around 15 euros. It is a lovely place and I recommend Antonia's apartment to anyone who wants to have a lovely stay there. We will return Antonia! Thank you again for a lovely stay and all your help!!! My little girl loves the soft toy kitty from you and she named it Bubbles! xxx

The owner, Antonia, was most helpful and prompt in the booking process. She met us at the airport even though it was quite late when we arrived. She then drove us to the apartment, having shown us the nearest shop, restaurant, bus stop and beach first.( all very close, within a 100 yards) We arrived to a very warm welcome, Antonia had generously stocked the fridge with snacks and essentials including a bottle of wine and a lovely bowl of fruit! She contacted us by text the next day to make sure everything was O K and check if we needed anything. The apartment had everything we could possibly need and we enjoyed a very comfortable stay. The area is very peaceful despite its proximity to the airport. The vibrant centre of Alicante is a short bus ride away if you choose not to hire a car. We also used the tram from Alicante to explore a bit further up the coast.( all public transport is very cheap.) The weather was a wonderful bonus, so sunny and warm for February.

Many Thanks Antonia for such warm hospitality

"My husband and I recently stayed in this apartment in Urbanova, Alicante from April 1st to April 6th. It was our first visit here because we have usually stayed in the owners other property a little further away. As usual, we were met at the airport and driven to the apartment, this makes such a difference because there is no need for taxis/buses etc.. The one-bed apartment is ground floor level,very clean, nicely furnished, it is by the sea with a couple of well-stocked supermarkets and plenty of restaurants close by. The fridge was also stocked with some nice essentials, another kind touch that the owner thinks of. With being so close to the airport, we thought we may be disturbed by aircraft noise, but this was not the case, we heard the odd one or two when they were using the other runway but nothing to disturb us or our sleep!! A quick 15 minute bus ride takes you into Alicante itself and a taxi ride back is around 15 euros, although if you do get a hire car there is parking on site for it. There are also swimming pools which we did not use this time but would on another occasion. Everybody that we met whether just walking along the beach, in the restaurants, supermarket etc.. were so welcoming and friendly it was a home from home. The other nice thing about this area is it was not ''touristy'' but predominantly Spanish which gave it a very authentic and friendly feel to it and everyone was so considerate of my broken Spanish ... We would definitely love to go back again, Antonia and her son make us feel so welcome each time, it is like being part of a very special family."
