Quaint, tranquil and delicately places within green countryside and under the watchful protective gaze of the iconic La Concha mountain, this ground floor apartment is in a perfect position.

There are two generously sized modern bathrooms, stately in their simplicity and refined in the use of minimalistic fittings. The terrace that looks out over the Mediterranean on the horizon is sheltered yet still permits the sun to filter in, creating the opportunity to enjoy both shade and sun. A relaxed sofa area on one side is a prefect place to relax and with a cocktail whilst on the far side a dining area offers alfresco lunches for entertaining guests. Recently renovated, this apartment is sold with private parking for 2 vehicles safely within the confines of the gated community.
