About this property
Very Special Modern 2 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom Penthouse Apartment with Huge Terrace
The penthouse itself has two bedrooms, one double bedroom with aircon plus an en-suite bathroom, there is another bedroom with twin beds overlooking the pool, with a ceiling fan, there is smaller bathroom just outside the twin room, both bedrooms have lots of storage space available and all the bedding and towels are included.
The kitchen comes complete with washing machine, dishwasher, fridge freezer, microwave and oven, along with a coffee machine, toaster and kettle for those home comforts, also all the plates, cups, glasses bowls, cooking dishes, pots and pans, plus utensils, it has a lovely outlook from the window.
The living room has aircon plus a ceiling fan, a sofa bed which is very cosy, the space is clutter free, it has a smart TV and a fold away dining table, with stackable cushioned stalls. there are two double French doors, one to the side and one to the front both lead onto the large terrace.with beautiful views of the outside space.
The private terrace area really is the talking point of the whole apartment, there are two huge sunny terrace areas, one directly outside the French doors from the living room, which has the outside dining area which is undercover should it rain or you need some shade, along with a cushioned area for sitting in the shade, there is plenty of room for soaking up the rays, or just simply chilling, reading your book or drinking a glass of wine.
The upstairs terrace accessible by the spiral staircase has stunning panoramic views of the hills and the sea, and is the perfect suntrap for sun worshippers.
Our apartment is one of 46 apartments within a small gated and secure complex Serena Mar 1, which shares a lovely big pool (23x10m) with a smaller childrenās pool next to it, which is surrounded by beautiful gardens, this is all maintained regularly by Carlo, it also has a private parking space for your use, or you can park free of charge outside of the apartment.
The apartment is a very short 2 minute walk to the supermarket and Romana beach which is one of five Blue Flag beaches in Alcossebre, the apartment is situated just on the outskirts of town, with a few bars/restaurants by the beach, however the main town is only a short 15 minute relaxing stroll along the sea and the wooden walkway, where you will find plenty of shops, bars and restaurants, there are a few bars and resturants to stop at on route, there are also plenty of climbing frames and childrenās play areas along the beach, you will also find a great children's play area in the main town, which also holds regular children's puppet shows, so thereās something for everyone.
Beyond the main town, if you keep walking straight you will see little market stalls along the sea line selling holiday jewellery and bits and bobs, if you keep walking you will come to the marina with more bars and restaurants and Las Fuentes Beach which has a beach bar open until midnight, children's trampolines etc.. Alcossesbre itself is a very quiet Spanish village, you will not find any rowdy bars or late night clubs here, just nice relaxed chilled vibes.
Las Fuentes is a bit more lively with bars open past midnight, but this area is a good 40 minute walk away from the apartment, so you will not get disturbed at night by any loud noise.
Alcossebre transforms during the Summer holidays, where it is full of young families and couples with the hustle and bustle of any costal holiday destination, out of these times, Alcossebre returns back to being an extremely quiet town, so would make the perfect destination for people who would like to just relax and unwind by doing as little as possible.
Alcossebre is without doubt one of Spainās best kept secrets.

Beautiful apartment with more than generous terraces for sunbathing, dining or just chilling. Lovely views and sunsets / sunrises / sea. Had a very comfortable stay and would definitely choose again. Close to all the amenities including the beach. Very clean, stylish and well managed. Lovely vacation and vacation home.
8 relaxing days after visit to Granada, Cordoba &Toledo
Property is 2nd line from beach. Short walk to beach and 3 local restaurants. 30 minute walk into Alcossebre and lots of restaurants. Reasonable supermarket 5 minute walk and massive one in Alcossebre. PeƱĆscola is well worth a visit as is BenicĆ ssim. Both about a 30 minute drive away. 2hr train journey(slow local service) takes you into the centre of Valencia.
Well worth a visit.
Apartment was very quiet in September with a fantastic large pool. The apartment has the benefit of 2 massive terraces. The kitchen is well equipped for a rental property. Owners have put a lot of thought into set up of property. All in - great property.
Only negative points are lounge has only one large sofa for three. If four adults are staying there would ideally be another comfortable seat. Also not used to paying an additional charge for WiFi. 2nd bedroom needs two bedside lights. Only one provided.
Overall superb apartment - best suited to a family of four.
Rental is definitely great value for your money.
Would revisit if in area.
Excellent! Everything was as expected and better! Communication with owner was always quick and easy. Location was fantastic being within an easy walking distance to the town and beaches. The apartment was fantastic. Super clean and had everything you needed for a self catering stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool, which was never busy, and we loved having all the outside space and relaxing on the wonderful terrace. We'd highly recommend!

A beautiful apartment, wonderful location
A beautiful apartment with a great pool in a wonderful location. It has very good beaches and restaurants a couple of minuets away and the center of town with more restaurants and shops is just a 15 minute stroll along the boardwalk by the sea. The accommodation itself is roomy and well equipped with a great roof terrace. We tried a number of restaurants locally and in the main town, All the food was excellent but Iād also recommend buying some of the local produce and having some meals on the terrace with views of the mountains. Our only regret is we didnāt stay longer, weāll be going back next year with friends. Iād recommend this for families as well.

Nice apartment in a nice place.
Just returned from 10 days in Alcossebre. The apartment is just like you see in the photos, spacious, clean,well equipped and fantastic outdoor space. Location is close to a number of sandy beaches, restaurants and bars. Walking into Alcossebre you have a more varied choice of restaurants at competitive prices.
One word of warning, don't trust your sat nav. We were sent on shortest route which turned out to be narrow gravel/chalk track. Follow N340 until CV142 that goes into Alcossebre and then follow instructions.
No hesitation in recommending this property or Alcossebre which is very Spanish.
La estancia ha sido muy buena. El apartamento perfecto, la ubicacion para mi gusto mejor imposible. Cerca de todo pero muy tranquilo. Urbanizacion perfecta para ir con la familia. Sin duda que intentaremos volver.
Wunderschƶne Ferienwohnung mit traumhafter Terrasse mit Blick auf Meer und Berge!
Hallo Julia, vielen Dank für die wundervolle Ferienwohnung mit traumhaftem Ausblick und sehr gut ausgestatteter Terrasse (Holztisch mit Holzstühlen und Sonnenliegen) Es ist ein schƶner Blick auf Meer und Berge. Zwei klimatisierte Schlafzimmer und zwei BƤder, ein Bad mit Badewanne und ein Bad mit Dusche, komplett ausgestattener Küche, einem klimatisiertem Wohnzimmer und übeall mit AuĆenjalousien. Es gab einen sehr groĆen Pool mit Kindesbecken und zum Strand waren es nur 5 Minuten die StraĆe hinunter. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, die Kommunikation war sehr gut. Wir kƶnnen die Ferienwohnung bedenkenlos weiterempfehlen. Vielen Dank nochmal von Familie Matcel F.
We had a great stay in this nice appartement. Amazing terrace with view on the mountains and sea! Communication with Julia and Dawn was very good. Location of the appartement is perfect. I would certainly recommend for many reasons!
Un alojamiento perfecto para la semanan que hemos pasado.
Tuvimos un problema con el aire acondicionado el domingo y Julia lo solucionó al dĆa siguiente. Muy buena atención por su parte.
Good value for money ,slightly smaller than other 2 beds we have stayed in but well worth it as the huge terrace area allows for great privacy giving the impression of a villa rather than apartment.We will defiantly be back!

Paradise revisited
The best apartment we have ever stayed in, period. The lounge is spacious with air con and a huge pullout sofa bed. The kitchen is well appointed with all the mod cons you need, the bedrooms are modern and spotless. The two bathrooms are also modern and fresh, some can be dated by comparison. The balcony is simply peerless. It is huge and has dividing roller blinds for shade. The host Julia is a lovely lady, communicative and accommodating. Stop looking this is the one for you. Clean, modern, and the balcony wow. Definitely be back š

Apartamento precioso, como nuevo y con todo tipo de utensilios.
Cómodo, muy limpio y a dos minutos de la playa. La terraza espectacular. VolverĆa sin dudarlo.
Una sorpresa la gran terraza, muy útil y confortable, el apartamento estÔ bien equipado y resulta muy cómodo. La urbanización es tranquila y se respetan los horarios de la piscina. Mejorable la limpieza.
Si podemos, repetiremos el próximo año
Well situated and peaceful, the apartment had a fantastic terrace for eating and relaxing when not on the beach. Plenty of towels for use and comfortable beds. Pool was very clean though not quite warm enough to use this time of year. Excellent information folder. We have very much enjoyed our holiday
