Admiring Glance Benahavís, Andalusia

Property Description

Of all the places in the world in which to take up residence in a penthouse apartment, the Costa del Sol is up there with the best of them. Head out onto one of the home's two terraces and you're greeted with sweeping views of the Med that will take your breath away regardless if it's the first or the fiftieth time you cast your eyes upon it.

The glass doors leading out to these outdoor spaces have the added benefit of flooding the living quarters with natural light. In terms of design, the home can certainly be said to lean on the traditional side – particularly the ornate bedframe, large artworks and chandeliers over the dining table – but it's far from dusty or dated. In fact, the bathrooms are quite contemporary in style.

One of the biggest perks, however, is the grand total of four shared swimming pools, including one open year-round. There's plenty more to keep you entertained in the locale too, from the four golf courses that can be reached in ten minutes' drive to the plethora of golden beaches that line the Andalusian coastline.
