The apartment is in the community Fuentes de Almunecar (Fountains of Almunecar), perched strategically on a hilltop overlooking a spectacular coastline and backed by ranges of hills. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with lush sub-tropical vegetation, trees, fountains and waterfalls. Residents are Spanish, British and a sprinkling of other nationalities.

There are two spectacular communal pools, one an 'infinity' pool, and wonderful views along the coast and out over the Mediterranean. Both pools are no more than a two minute walk from the house. While one of the pools has a lifeguard during the day, neither is securely fenced and young children would need to be supervised.

A variety of holidays can be enjoyed at our house, including relaxing by the pool, visiting nearby beaches, water sports, horse riding, scuba diving, golf and walking in the countryside. Spain's premiere skiing, in the Sierra Nevada mountains, is available in the winter and spring.

The lively and vibrant centre of Almunecar has a classical Spanish atmosphere and has so far avoided being dominated by tourism. The Moorish and Phoenician architectural heritage shows up in the winding passages and cobbled squares of the old quarter as well as the prominent castle. The town also has several markets, good restaurants, a bird park, several beaches and a water park, all easily reachable from the house. Modern supermarkets, banks and other facilities are also available.

The magnificent city of Granada with its magnificent Alhambra palace is only 40 minutes away by car, with high quality skiing in the nearby Sierra Nevada mountains from December to April. Seville, another great destination, can be reached in 3 hours. Skiing in the morning and the beach in the afternoon can be an option during the winter. There are unlimited walking opportunities in the Alpujarra mountains within 1-2 hours drive.

On arrival, our guests are provided with extensive information on local attractions and our favourite beaches, restaurants, shopping, night life, sports, sightseeing destinations, etc., many of which we have discovered by staying in the area for extended periods.

A car is needed to reach the property and to get around, particularly on warm summer days when the walk back from the nearest beaches or the centre of town can be a challenge. Driving in this part of Spain is not hard, the roads are in excellent condition and places are clearly signposted. In the house we provide a range of books, maps and suggestions for both driving and walking tours.

The 2-bedroom apartment has three floors including a large roof terrace with a dining table and chairs. The total indoor area is 85 m2. There is one bathroom with a shower, plus an extra WC. The interior is roomy and the ceilings high, contributing to a light and open atmosphere. Four people are very comfortable here. There is also a sleeper sofa providing two extra sleeping places for a maximum of six people.

The roof terrace is large and quiet, with an extraordinary 180 degree panorama view and opportunities to observe both sunrise and sunset. It is an ideal place to enjoy a relaxing meal or sunbathe. The terrace is equipped with a dining table, chairs, barbeque grill and sun beds. Another small terrace attached to one of the bedrooms provides a delightful sitting area.

Air conditioning and central heating ensures that the house is comfortable year round.

You will find a cooker, an oven, a fridge, a freezer, a kettle, a toaster and a coffee maker. There is also a dish washer and a washing machine. Cutlery, crockery, glassware and cooking utensils are provided.

We have a web site featuring this house as well as a house and another apartment in the same complex, including independent reviews from our guests and full-screen photo slide shows of each property. Please contact us for the address of our web site.
