Villa Alca | 7-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Alcalali

Fourteen guests arrive at Villa Alca expecting a standard holiday rental. They discover instead a seven-bedroom sanctuary positioned on the Jalon Valley hillside, where the Mediterranean landscape unfolds across two generously proportioned floors and the kind of terrace that makes evening aperitifs non-negotiable. This luxury villa rental on Costa Blanca commands views that stretch across olive groves, vineyards, and agricultural terrain that has remained largely unchanged for centuries.

Inside Villa Alca

Villa Alca sleeps 14 guests across 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, distributed thoughtfully across two distinct levels. The upper floor serves as the main living hub, where natural light floods through expansive sliding glass doors that frame the panoramic vista. Here you’ll find the first gathering space—a generously scaled living and dining area furnished with bohemian-inspired pieces that somehow manage to feel both relaxed and refined. Sliding doors open directly onto a covered terrace where a pergola shades a dining table, creating the ideal setting for breakfast while surveying the morning light across the valley below.

Three double bedrooms occupy the upper floor. Each features a 180 x 200cm French bed with built-in storage solutions designed to eliminate visual clutter. The principal bedroom distinguishes itself with an ensuite that includes both bathtub and walk-in shower, plus a pair of armchairs positioned on the private terrace—the spot where sunset rituals become memorable. A second upper-floor bedroom includes a dedicated ensuite shower with dual basins, while the third bedroom shares a bathroom with an adjacent guest room, both with access to the shared terrace space.

An internal lift descends to the lower floor, where the architecture reveals its clever design. The second living area receives abundant natural light through multiple doors that spill directly onto the main pool patio. A second kitchen sits in one corner—fully equipped with four induction burners, dishwasher, oven, microwave, and freezer—while a wooden dining table comfortably seats ten, making this floor ideal for the primary gathering area during meals. An L-shaped sofa anchors the opposite end, facing a television, creating a secondary entertainment zone that appeals when the group divides naturally into smaller clusters.

Four additional double bedrooms line the lower-floor corridor, each with a 180 x 200cm bed and direct access to two further bathrooms. One of these bedrooms includes its own ensuite shower with double handbasin. A utility room equipped with washing machine and tumble dryer serves practical needs, while additional amenities include a safe for valuables and parking for up to five vehicles.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The outdoor domain extends as the true centerpiece of Villa Alca. A substantial private swimming pool dominates the lower terrace, bordered by Mediterranean plantings and mature palms that frame the water in lush greenery. Sun loungers position themselves along the pool’s edge, allowing reclined viewing of the cloudless skies that define the Costa Blanca calendar. The terrace itself stretches widely, creating distinct zones for different activities: a pergola-shaded dining area equipped with an outdoor table and functioning barbecue anchors one section, while informal seating areas with breakfast tables tuck into more secluded corners for morning coffee or afternoon reading.

An outdoor shower provides practical refreshment after poolside hours, while garden furniture scattered across the terraced levels invites extended occupation. The south-facing orientation ensures maximum solar exposure throughout the day, with the higher upper terrace offering a secondary dining and lounging area that commands the same sweeping views as the interior spaces. This dual-terrace arrangement allows some guests to sunbathe while others dine, creating flexibility that larger groups require.

Location: Alcalalí and the Surrounding Area

Villa Alca sits at the foot of the hillside immediately outside Alcalalí, a genuinely undiscovered corner of the Costa Blanca where agricultural heritage remains visible in the landscape and village architecture. This is not a beachfront property, which actually proves advantageous—the location trades oceanside hustle for peaceful rural authenticity and significantly lower summer temperatures than coastal towns.

Alcalalí itself merits slow exploration. The village retains traditional facades of old agricultural houses, originally constructed to shelter carts and farm equipment, while the Plaza del Ayuntamiento still displays the remnants of medieval town walls and defensive gates. The ethnological museum occupies a restored oil mill, where guided visits illuminate the region’s olive and grape cultivation traditions. A 14th-century defensive tower commands the hilltop, offering a viewing platform where the panorama justifies the modest climb. Every Friday, the weekly market fills Plaza del Ayuntamiento with vendors selling fresh produce—precisely the setting where you’d purchase ingredients to prepare dinner at Villa Alca.

The Mediterranean coast lies within 25-30km, making beach days entirely feasible without committing to seaside accommodation. Jávea, approximately 20km southwest, offers multiple accessible beaches with clear, shallow water suited to younger swimmers. Cala la Fustera, 22km away, curves as a crescent of pale sand backed by pine-covered cliffs—the setting where the Mandala Beach Bar serves tapas and paella while the sea reflects afternoon light. From here, the Ruta Ecológica Benissa extends southward along clifftop terrain, connecting hidden inlets and arriving eventually in Calp after a scenic coastal walk suitable for families.

Inland exploration proves equally rewarding. Callosa d’en Sarria, approximately 40km northwest via winding mountain roads, serves as the base for visiting Fuentes del Algar—a natural waterfall system with terraced pools where fresh mountain water provides genuine swimming relief during warm months. The Jardí de l’Albarda, on the far side of Montgo mountain, recreates Valencian Renaissance garden principles with ornate pavilions, fountains, and Mediterranean plantings that demonstrate the region’s historical horticultural sophistication.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Villa Alca accommodates 14 guests, making it the natural choice for large family gatherings spanning multiple generations. The dual-kitchen arrangement, separate lower-floor living area, and divided bedroom spaces allow adult children to maintain privacy while remaining in easy reach of parents and grandparents. Extended family groups planning a week together find the 7-bedroom layout genuinely workable without the cramped feeling smaller properties impose.

Multi-generational groups particularly benefit from the pool safety features—shallow sections suit young children while deeper areas appeal to teenagers and adults. The hillside location eliminates concerns about toddlers wandering toward a nearby road, while outdoor spaces provide countless quiet corners for older guests who prefer observation over activity.

Professional groups or friend circles of 8-14 people find the two living areas allow natural division between those cooking and those relaxing, preventing the territorial tension that arises in smaller shared kitchens. The internal lift proves invaluable for guests with mobility concerns, while the barbecue and pool setup encourages gathering rather than dispersal.
