    “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....”

La Alhábega
Entire three floor house, perfect for big groups and families. With an outstanding swimming pool nestled within a limestone rock cave. Patio surrounded with tropical vegetation, open to the dinning room and kitchen. Wide and comfortable living room. Four bathrooms and four rooms in total, with several types of beds: two doubles, two singles, bunk bed. One bedroom with en suite bathroom. Sauna in upper floor. Terrace with city views and BBQ.
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.
