El Raset

Top choice in Dénia


This modern designer hotel, set in a handsome four-square old building, overlooks the port with just 20 spotlit rooms, colourful bedspreads and art on the walls. There's a buzzy vibe and very friendly service. A row of house restaurants alongside gives you eating options on the doorstep. Prices drop off sharply either side of August.
