Hi has anyone been to Coveta Fuma or El Campello near Alicante in Spain? I have looked for reviews all over the place to no avail, any info would be gratefully received Thanks

Hi Carol

Not sure if this is of any use to you.  I could only find El Campello.

www.alicante-spain.com

www.alicante-spotlight.com

Hope they help you to find more - you can post questions I think on the second one.

Kind regards

Bob

Hi Bob

Thanks for your help I will look at those sites.

Regards Carol

hello carol

coveta fuma its in a more exclusive part of alicante. do you have google earth, if you do type in the fly to  tab  Coveta Fumá, el Campello, Spain   it will take you to coventa fuma. or do a search in google under coveta fum'a, el campello, there are plenty of results, the 2nd last one "coventa fuma villas - the area" is ok

visit  www.webtourist.net  when you get to the main page do a search under  el campello  in the google box at 1 o'clock (search under  webbtourist hotel reservations webb site )  it will then re-direct you to lots of results in the webtourist site not just hotel descriptions but a few links for the resort.

Hi Carol

 I have been going to Coveta Fuma every year for the last 25 years as my parents have a villa there.  Its a village/small town in between Alicante and Benidorm.  On the train line, so easy to access the larger cities nearby.  What would you like to know in particular?

Hi Sarah, We are thinking of renting an apartment in Coveta Fuma in September, so we would really like to know about any nice restaurants in the area also what is the beach like? Anything you can tell me would be helpful really I would much rather find out about a place from a real person than a tourist info site.

Thanks Carol

Thanks Jim, I have looked on Google Earth but it doesn't tell you anything about the place, I will have a look on www.webtourist.net but I really would like to hear from someone who has actually been there. Thanks for your help though.

Regards Carol

Hi Sarah

Thanks for the info, the place sound quite nice we're looking for somewhere that isn't too touristy but we have a seven year old son who needs occupying so as long as there's some sand for him to dig in and somewhere nice for us to eat, anything else is a bonus. Hope you enjoy your break you never know we may bump into each other, we're there from the 8th to the 19th Sept. Thanks again

Regards Carol

Don't know whether you are still using this site at all, but found your questions quite interesting as we are looking at a villa in Coveta Fuma. Like you, we'd like to hear reviews from people that have actually been there.

Having now been, we would be interested in your thoughts about the place? how did you find the beach? we have a young family ranging from 2 to 5 years. Is the area hilly?

Hope you are able to give us some comments.

Thanks

Carol

Hi, I'm sorry I can't really help you as we changed our minds and went to Portugal instead. but I have spoken to people who have been there and they said it was very nice but very quiet with only about five restaurants,and the beach is OK but not as nice as el Campello down the road. I hope this has been of some use to you. You could have a look on Google Earth this might give you an idea of the size and layout of the place. Good luck

Regards Carol

Hi,

I have owned a villa in Coveta Fuma (Smoky Cove) for 9 years and love the area. The small train runs from Denia to Alicante and stops in all the little coves including Coveta, El Campello, out local 'town' is famous for the fish from the fish market, and has miles of beautiful beaches, un spoilt, no busy road to cross. El Campello has lots of restaurants, banks and shops, wonderful fiestas. Coveta Fuma has its own small cove, sometimes in winter a bit seaweedy, but they clear it in the summer. Thomas's little casita high on the cove has the most wonderful sardines and paella and the rest of the restaurants and bars are easily reached. Antonia has a wonderfully stocked supermarket and he also runs a taxi service. My grandchildren adore the area, and the fantastic TerraMitica can be reached on the train in about 15 mins. You dont need a car here, transport is excellent. Visit the next little town Villajoyosa (Village of Joy), and dont miss the markets, fantastic!

I have many photos of the area and the harbour in El Campello if anyone would like to receive them.

Once you have visited Coveta, you will want to stay, and its just 35 mins north of Alicante airport.

Hi,

I am renting an apartment in Coveta Fuma in mid October and I'd love to see your photos. Thomas' casita sounds like heaven to me except that I do have some problems walking; do you think I might have problems walking there? What's the terrain like? I use a stick out of doors and tire easily. What does a meal out cost? What's the weather like?

I chose Coveta Fuma for all the reasons you have given and I'm so excited to be going. I shall be sitting on that little promontary reading, having tapas in the local bar, enjoying leisurely meals at Thomas', taking the train to Campello and a scenic ride to Denia. I'm only sorry that it's only a week!

Are the restaurants/bars/supermarket open on the weekend? Are they open in October? We arrive on Saturday afternoon. Actually Antonio will be picking us up from Alicante.
