Both upper bedrooms have access to the top-level roof terrace and its stunning sea and countryside views.

The 8x4m private swimming pool has roman-step access and a separate (unheated) Jacuzzi; around it is a spacious pool terrace with ample room for sunloungers and a shaded area perfect for alfresco meals. There is a built-in barbecue, as well as a private enclosed courtyard with water feature, table and chairs.

The Castle is handily located a two-minute walk from the excellent Piccolo Mundo restaurant and just six minutes on foot from the charming and sheltered sandy cove of Alcaufar, which is overlooked by the dining terrace of a popular hotel – a great place to while away the afternoon.

Our opinion

You couldn’t wish for better sea views than those waiting to be appreciated from the upper levels at The Castle; it’s handy for the beach too!

About Alcaufar

Alcaufar is a really pretty village with a lovely little beach, shallow waters and rocks on which to climb or sunbathe. It is extremely child friendly: the bay is very shallow and there are many flat rocks and rock pools to explore. It is a village almost untouched by mass tourism. The small hotel adjacent to the beach is a nice shady spot in which to relax and have a drink or lunch. There is also an excellent restaurant, Piccolo Mundo, which offers great sea views and an enticing menu, and there is a small local shop in the village. The bustling resort of S’Algar is a short walk away across the cliffs
