Bienvenido!
Welcome to Saffron Apartment-a holiday rental apartment
in Cumbre del Sol (Summit of the Sun). Nestled in the Spanish municipality of Benitachell, situated between Moraira and Javea
on the northern province of Costa Blanca.
In the distant past, Benitachell was an Arab outpost but is now
a small agricultural village with ample amenities. Orange groves
and vineyards are all familiar sights along the roads. The locals
are friendly and the pace of life is relaxed!
Cumbre del Sol is a residential development of villas and apartments which lies on the hillside of Mountain Puig de
Llorença, on the Mediterranean coast. It is only 1 km from Benitachell village. It is a well known touristic destination as
