Location & things to do

Bolulla & the Costa Blanca

A quiet whitewashed village in the Guadalest–Algar valley, between the Sierra de Bernia and the sea. Mountains and silence when you wake up, the beach in no time.

Where we are

Peace in the hills, close to the coast

Finca Hero sits in Bolulla, inland from Altea. Life here moves at village pace, yet Altea’s beaches and old town are only about 20 minutes away.

A rental car is recommended: Bolulla is a small mountain village with limited public transport.
