The lady who checked us in was super helpful, spending more than 30’ with us explaining everything and giving us a list of restaurant recommendations (including what to avoid).
Breakfasts were nice (although cold options only). The room was spacious with a great sea view. The location was right in the old town but quiet, just a flight of steps to get up to the church square.
Park at Aparcamiento Palau de Altea so you have a gentle slope to walk up the old town.

A beautiful building, tucked away in the old town, very close to the restaurants and bars. Super friendly welcome. I stayed in a studio room which had a TV, wifi, fridge and a very comfortable bed. Loved the choice of lighting in the bathroom.

If prices drop or rooms become available, you'll be among the first to know, making it easier to plan a spontaneous getaway.
Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates may help you find a better deal for your stay at an Oliva hotel. For those seeking something distinctive, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and potentially offer better value. When you make a booking through Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher side, we might suggest alternative dates that could be more affordable, assisting you in your search for a favourable rate.
Consider your location: Staying nearer to key attractions or city centres may offer convenience but often tends to come with higher costs. For more budget-friendly options, consider hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between price and accessibility to the sites you intend to visit. You might also look into independent hotels located a bit further out, as they can provide a more authentic and often more affordable experience.
