About us
Your trusted hardware store in Altea
Quality, advice and honest service — for many years.
Our story
Ferretería Ripoll is a family-run business that has been supplying both housewares and hardware to Altea's residents, tradespeople and holiday-home owners for many years. We started small, on the same Avenida L'Alt Rei En Jaume I where we are based today, and have grown alongside the village and its international community.
What sets us apart is not the size of the shop — it is the time we take for you. Whether you are putting together a full Le Creuset set or dropping by for a single key copy, we ask questions, think along and help you choose the right solution. In whichever language makes you most comfortable.
Our values
Honest advice
We don't sell you the most expensive product — we sell you the right product for the job.
Craftsmanship
Years of experience with the materials, climate conditions and challenges of the Costa Blanca.
Approachable
Four languages, a cup of coffee, and always time for your question.
Quality over price
We stock brands that do their job — not disposable tools that break after a month.
