A small hotel in Guadalest has been voted the second most romantic in the world by users of the specialised travel website TripAdvisor, the most visited globally.
The rural complex Cases Noves is located in the urban area of the municipality, it has only five rooms and clients can stay there from 131 euros per night. Guadalest, which has just over 200 inhabitants, is located in the Alicante region of Marina Baja, 20 kilometres from the touristy Benidorm.
This small town in Alicante has been recognised as a Historic-Artistic Complex since 1974 and is also part of the Association The Most Beautiful Towns of Spain.
This dream getaway that couples love occupies a 1932 country house that has been remodelled while respecting the original charm. The users of Tripadvisor consider it to be "a real treasure".
The hotel not only offers accommodation, but its team offers the client a myriad of activities and services. Among them, gourmet breakfasts, romantic dinners, Spa sessions to disconnect, wine tourism activities, hiking trails, as well as the possibility of organising celebrations. Also, there are those who choose this place to celebrate a small wedding.
One of the welcome packs offered by the hotel to surprise your partner offers an aphrodisiac cocktail, chocolates, scented candles and music to liven up the evening. The hotel team decorates your room in a romantic and personalised way.
The rural complex is very well located, it overlooks the castle and has fabulous views of the mountainous landscape. From its windows, you can see the Aitana, Serrella and Xortà mountains, as well as the bay of Altea in the distance.
The property, owned by Sofía Alonso and Antonio Serrano, came into operation in July 2005. Since then it has received several recognitions from TripAdvisor and the Booking.com portal.
The Cases Noves is only surpassed as the most romantic by the Narrows Escape Rainforest Retreat hotel in Montville, Australia, within this category of "most romantic in the world" establishments.
