You could never tire of the sea views seen from the rooftop terrace of this penthouse in El Faro. Perfect for a family seeking a base in the heart of the Costa del Sol – Fuengirola, La Cala de Mijas, and Marbella are within easy reach. Or keep things local – numerous restaurants, shops and beach bars are within walking distance. It's worth noting that you'll share a swimming pool and pool bar at this small holiday resort. We also think some of the home's interiors are a touch dated. But those two private sun terraces more than make up for that.
