This beautiful traditional Spanish townhouse is located in the heart of the village of Castell de Ca

Step through the hand-carved Castillian doors of this authentic Spanish townhouse and you feel the hush of centuries settle around you. Set in the tranquil upper reaches of Alicante’s Vall de Pop, the home sits in the very soul of Castell de Castells—where cobbled lanes curl past the ancient stone church and the evening air carries the scent of almond blossom drifting down from surrounding orchards. Spread gracefully across three floors, the house celebrates its heritage at every turn. Original hydraulic floor tiles—each one a tiny work of folk art—guide you from the vaulted entrance hall into a fire-warmed lounge where timber beams arc overhead like the ribs of an old ship. An archway ushers you into the rustic kitchen: handmade tile worktops, a double-basin pila, and a traditional gas range ready for paella Sundays. Double doors open to a covered mirador terrace; from here the valley unrolls in olive-green waves until the mountains stitch the horizon. A discreet side door on this level reveals the first of three double bedrooms—ideal guests slip away in privacy, their en-suite shower room finished in classic azulejo tile. An internal timber staircase spirals upward. On the first-floor landing another terrace awaits, this one devoted to alfresco laundry days and sunrise coffee. Two further doubles share this level: the master suite boasts a Juliet balcony that frames the church tower, a built-in wardrobe, and a generous en-suite with walk-in shower, while bedroom two opens directly onto the fully-tiled family bathroom—deep soaking tub, corner rain shower, bidet, and toasty towel rail. A capacious under-stair store swallows suitcases and hiking gear with ease. Ascend once more to the top floor and you reach a sun-drenched attic studio—perfect as an office, yoga retreat, or quiet library—its window yielding 360-degree vistas that stretch from the Sierra de Aitana to the distant glitter of the Mediterranean on clear days. Original beams, thick stone walls, and artisan tiles are paired with discreet modern comforts: gas central heating, double-glazed timber shutters, fast fibre-optic internet, and pressurised hot water. There is room to plunge a petite splash pool into the rear courtyard, and the roof structure is pre-approved for solar if you wish to tread even lighter on this blessed landscape. Life in Castell de Castells moves gently. Start with café con leche in the plaza, wander the Moorish footpaths that link mountain hamlets, cycle empty roads through almond and cherry groves, or simply sit on the terrace as swallows trace arcs against a saffron sky. Alicante airport and the yachting marinas of Denia and Jávea lie within an hour—close enough for convenience, far enough to keep the valley a sanctuary. This is a home for lovers of soulful Spain; a place where every beam, tile, and stone tells a story, and where your own chapter is ready to be written.
