The Hostal Loreto is a comfortable, family run hotel with 43 rooms and a lively café/restaurant. The building dates from the 16th century and is a former nunnery. It is located in a pedestrian area in the medieval centre of the old town close to many shops and restaurants and overlooked by a Moorish castle. It is rumoured that a secret tunnel ran from the old nunnery to the castle. The hotel has recently been refurbished and all of the rooms have air-conditioning, flat screen TV, ceiling fan, safe and a private bathroom with a shower or a bath and a hairdryer. Some rooms have a small balcony.
Within a short walking distance of the hotel, there are 20 km of beautiful beaches, excellent ferry links to Ibiza and the Balearics (Majorca and Minorca) and train and bus stations. The trip to Ibiza takes just over 2 hours on the fast ferry. The journey time from Alicante airport or Valencia airport to Denia is about an hour by car on the AP-7 motorway. The city itself is a bustling historic port with its own fishing fleet and two marinas protected by the hilltop castle and surrounded by acres of orange groves.
There are many water sports possibilities in the local area including scuba diving, sailing, boat hire, wind-surfing and kite-surfing. There are also facilities for golf, hiking, horse riding, tennis, mountain-biking and climbing. We can supply entry tickets with special discounts for many attractions which are only a short drive away such as Terra Mitica (adventure park), Terra Natura (nature park), Aqualandia (water park), Mundomar (sea-life park) and the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias (science park) in Valencia.
The hotel has an excellent restaurant. It is also possible to enjoy a snack or a drink at any time of day on our busy street terrace or in our tranquil internal 16th century patio. Hotel guests are welcome to participate in activities which take place in the hotel such as weekly Ti-chi and dancing classes. The hotel has a secure private parking which is available for the use of hotel guests for a small extra charge.
