La Madrugada

Back in the summer of 2007 the delightful villa La Madrugada, which once belonged to the famous British soprano Sarah Brightman, was transformed into a small luxurious and charming hotel. The building sits in a big garden full of exotic plants and with tremendous views right down to the coast.

A broad terrace in front of the hotel provides lots of relaxing and sunbathing space and a large swimming pool. Look out from here to the Peñon de Ifach (the huge rock at Calpe) on the coast, back towards the mountains or focus closer on the surrounding terraces of fruit trees and olives.

The public rooms of the hotel and the guest rooms are all luxuriously furnished and decorated, and all enjoy the great views. Each of the guest rooms has a full bathroom, safe, minibar, television, heating and air-conditioning, and the suite also benefits from a private terrace and a jacuzzi bath.

La Madrugada's position is outstanding, close to all the activities of the coast yet one step removed from the hurly-burly. The hillside affords a brilliant view while all around there are fields, fruit trees, olives and a sprinkling of private villas.

Meals

Small snacks and meals are available throughout the day.

A full a la carte menu is available for lunch and dinner, except on Sundays.

The restaurant occupies a lovely position close to the pool. Indoors or outdoors according to the time of year.
