Rarely veering from a black-and-white colour scheme, the interior of this apartment is solid, if a little unremarkable, when taken on its own merits. Thankfully, there are lots of outdoor amenities that bump it up the pecking order. Not only is there a covered balcony with a view of the surrounding valley, but there's also a private rooftop terrace on which to soak up some rays. Add to that a communal swimming pool back down at ground level, plus Arenal Beach only two hundred metres from the front door, and it's never been easier to bask in the Mediterranean's glorious climate.

Home truths:
*The single-level apartment's located on the first floor of a building with an elevator, although there are steps up to the private rooftop terrace
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
*There's private parking available
*The surrounding resort has a reception desk to deal with enquiries and requests
*Beach towels are provided for guests
