Finestrat is a beautiful costal town, yet at the same time mountainous. This villa is situated just 5 kilometers from the beach and is elevated on a hill, characterized for hanging houses and peculiar narrow roads or Moorish origin. A quiet walk through the village brings one to the emblematic church of “Sant Bertomeu” and other religious symbols like the chapel, along with an abundance of picturesque gardens throughout the village. The old town, raised above the foundations of an ancient Arabic castle is home to a viewpoint called “El Castell” which offers spectacular views of the Mediterranean.
Finestrat combines perfectly the cosmopolitan airs of Benidorm with the silence of nature of the Puig Campana mountain range. Puig Campana stand at 1,410 meters and with its proximity to the coast and rolling hills, it represents one of the most emblematic sights of the Costa Blanca. Without this mountain it would be difficult to appreciate Finestrat’s history, guarded for centuries as the region’s most prized treasure.
