Casa Caracol is located in one of the most sought after areas of Altea. La Olla is a quiet and safe area of Altea right by the beach with a particular village-feel to it. There are cafes and shops as well as children's playgrounds at walking distance but the residential area is quiet. Central Altea is about a mile away which can easily be done on foot, but also there's a small tram that travels between Calpe and Alicante which passes through la Olla with a stop right behind the house, and is very convenient for hopping on to Altea downtown, Benidorm or any other of the seaside villages.
