Shiraz is a beautiful, clean, well maintained property. We stayed in the Shiraz room, which has a comfortable bed and separate sitting area with a balcony. The food at Shiraz is very creative and excellent. Their included breakfast was delicious every day, with fresh fruit, croissants, coffee, juice, etc. Special thanks to Luke who was very accommodating and super helpful with parking and directions. Special thanks also to Sofie, she was very nice and helpful. Thanks also to Sebastian and the rest of the team, they are all so hospitable and kind. Altea is a beautiful place, but Shiraz and their team made it extra special. The only thing to nit pick about is the lack of parking. But once you park, getting around is easy. The beach boardwalk is 4-5 mins walk down the hill. The church and old town are 4-5 mins walk up the hill. There are dozens of great restaurants all around and markets in easy walking distance. When we return to Altea, we will again stay at Shiraz. Highly recommended.
