Alicante Airport, sitting midway along the coast, is ideally located for easy access to North and South Costa Blanca. Murcia San Javier Airport is handy for Costa Blanca South, and Valencia Airport is a good alternative to Alicante for those travelling to Costa Blanca North. The coast also boasts excellent transport links, with the A7 motorway stretching from one extremity of the coastline to the other. Costa Blanca North is indisputably the most unspoilt and picturesque of the region, having retained much of its authentic Spanish feel. The spectacular mountain ranges meet the landscapes of orange, olive and almond groves, which nestle between the typically Spanish towns and along the famous white sands of the coast. The profile of international property buyers has shifted toward larger numbers of permanent residents - semi-retirees and young families - as opposed to holiday home owners. Costa Blanca North is undoubtedly a privileged place to live, surrounded by natural splendour, excellent climate and an enviable quality of life. A unique presentation of unquestionable elegance and timeless distinction, this commanding residence of significant proportions epitomises a lifestyle of prestige and cachet. Impressive in size, scope, grandeur and setting, the Old Rome-style mansion boasts gracious architectural features, distinguished living spaces, spellbinding sea views and exceptional comfort. Magnificent luxury and supreme elegance abound in the sophisticated family mansion that will astound even the most discriminating buyer. Evoking a sense of pure class and polished flair, the extravagantly beautiful residence was designed with architectural integrity and fine attention to detail. Finished to a lavish specification, the interiors are rich and elegantly decorated, with an overwhelming feeling of timeless sophistication and grace. The palatial signature house unfolds impressively over a total of 1,221m² but still feels supremely comfortable and welcoming. The splendid façade provides a fitting introduction to the beauty that awaits within. With precious design elements and refined living spaces, the spectacularly elegant house makes for fabulous entertaining and comfortable family living. The exquisite accommodation - including six bedrooms - overflows with refinement, indulgence and character-rich atmosphere. A light-flooded inner court with its small fountain - an exact copy of one from a mansion in Pompeii - and a stunningly spacious living room are just some further highlights of the tastefully crafted residence. The exclusive residence is fitted with high-end amenities and distinctive luxury appointments, including a grand fireplace, classical pillars, underfloor heating and air conditioning. Exuding privacy and exclusivity, the beautifully presented mansion is set against the backdrop of stunning views of the glittering Mediterranean and the charming village of Altea. Wonderfully located on a private plot of 2,436m², a lovely pool and porch area complete the blissful outdoor offerings. Created for that special owner with opulent taste and a zest for sophisticated and sumptuous style, this extraordinary mansion guarantees the finest quality of life around. Price: €5.5 million.
