Apartamento Itxaso, Peñíscola Overview
Apartamento Itxaso is located in Peñíscola, Spain. Rated 8.5 out of 10 based on 2 guest reviews.
Apartamento Itxaso is a self-catering apartment in Peñíscola, Spain, set on Avenida Dinamarca, where you can trade the bustle of the old town for calmer outdoor time. It suits travelers who want space and privacy, with a garden and terrace for morning coffee and late-afternoon downtime. The apartment layout includes two bedrooms and a living area with a fireplace, so evenings feel more like home than a typical rental. A fully equipped kitchen helps you manage meals at your own pace, which is especially useful when you’re planning hiking or fishing trips around the coast.
The property’s outdoor setup is a highlight: you’ll have access to a swimming pool, plus a terrace that’s made for relaxed meals outdoors. Parking is available, including free parking, which matters in Peñíscola when you’re trying to come and go without worrying about where to leave the car. The stay is also pet-friendly, and the non-smoking policy keeps the indoor environment comfortable for everyone.
Nearby, Peñíscola Castle is about 3 km away, and the Ermita de Santa Lucía y San Benet is roughly 5 km from the apartment for a scenic outing. If you’re extending your day trips, Castillo de Xivert is around 34 km away.
With an 8.5/10 guest rating from two reviews, recent visitors have generally responded positively, and the small number of reviews suggests a quieter, more personal stay rather than a high-turnover property. Best for couples, small families, and pet owners who want an apartment base in Peñíscola with outdoor space and easy access to the area’s natural and historic highlights.

Should You Book Apartamento Itxaso?
Worth considering if you want a quieter, more private stay in Peñíscola with outdoor space and the option to self-cater. The 8.5/10 guest rating based on 2 reviews suggests a generally positive experience, but the small review sample means it’s a bit of a “try it if it fits your style” booking.

- Guests who want to bring pets, since pets are allowed

Not Ideal For

- Light sleepers who are sensitive to any potential street noise, since the only location detail provided is that it’s on Avenida Dinamarca (no quietness guarantee)
- Solo travelers or couples who don’t want self-catering, because this is a self-catering apartment rather than a full-service hotel
