    Location amazing - closest home to the castle. Beautiful cool pool cut into the rock. Excellent sir conditioning. Parking close by.

    The house is run by turist office, so the parking was next to this office. The great three-story house is 100m away from the parking and right under the castle. The cueva sin aqua and cueva con aqua (caves for rest and for bath) are marvelous....

    A superb property that has been carefully renovated to a very high standard. Loved the ‘cave pool’! Very obliging and friendly host, and the property is well situated and well equipped. Wouldn’t hesitate to book there again.

We have a long experience in tourism all around Spain. More than 10 years guiding visitors in Alicante, Valencia and Barcelona. We love Villena, Alicante. This medium size town settles only 45 minutes from the mediterranean coast and hosts the most impressive castle in Alicante region. There are very good food, lanscapes and unique wines that we would love to share with you!
This is one of Villena's historical quarters. Known as "Rabal", first inhabitants began to settle in the XII century, when this area was part of "al-Andalus", in islamic times. This quarter still displays nowadays narrow and rambling streets typical from this culture. The old mosque, turned into the church of "Santa María" in the XVI century, it's been standing all this time, witnessing the neighbours changing throughout History. "Rabal" quarter skirts the castle of "Atalaya", built on top of a hill. Many houses took advantage of the limestone of the rock to dig new rooms into their homes. The cave-houses are one of the main distinctive features from the area. "Alhábega" house stands in the upper part of the quarter, right beside the castle, thereby views are really astonishing.
