Located in La Mairena – tucked away in the hills behind Elviria – this bright apartment offers endless relaxation with its sunny position, beautiful views and access to a whole host of fabulous facilities.

Inside, glossy tiled floors, pops of vibrant yellow and ample natural light create an instantly inviting welcome. Open the glass door in the open-plan living area and step out onto a beautiful conservatory area equipped with a dining table and chairs. In one swift movement, you can fold back the glass wall to reveal a private garden – ideal for enjoying shaded alfresco meals and sunny picnics alike.

With a pair of comfortable bedrooms and two sleek bathrooms to boot, this home is ready to ease you into carefree living.

What’s more, the building has a glistening communal pool in which to while away the hours, and you’ve also got access to the shared facilities at the nearby El Soto clubhouse, where you can enjoy golf and tennis opportunities, a gym, spa and a restaurant.

And when it comes to sightseeing nearby, the nearest beach is just 7 kilometres away, while Marbella town is fifteen minutes away by car.
