We have a bright, south facing apartment on the Costalita Urbanization located on the New Golden Mile between San Pedro and Estepona, beach side from the village of Cancelada. The apartment has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an open plan living/dining area leading onto the terrace, a separate kitchen and a utility room. There is air conditioning. The apartment is on the 2nd floor. There is secure underground parking which is accessed by lift. There are marble floors throughout the apartment. We have a Wifi internet connection. Outside there is a large shared swimming pool (used only by the neighbouring apartments) which you can see from our terrace and the main bedroom. The second bedroom has views of rolling hills in the distance. Costalita has a reputation for being a very well-maintained development set in beautiful tropical gardens full of palm trees and flowering shrubs. A pathway from our building leads down to a sandy beach and promenade where you will find a beach bar and restaurant. Just adjacent to Costalita is the Villa Padierna Racquet Club where you can play tennis & have a drink in their club house. There is a 24 hour security patrol in the area and Costalita apartments can only be accessed through locked gates. There is a life guard on duty during July & August. Our terrace is a great place for alfresco dining at our Moroccan tiled table or soaking in the sun on one of our sun loungers. From here you can almost touch the nearby palm tree and you also have a great view of the pool so you can keep an eye on your children and call them up for meals and friends for cocktails. The apartment is well appointed and smartly furnished and we make a great effort to maintain it to a high standard. This is an ideal place for a family holiday or for those who would like to come and explore Andalucia, play golf, tennis, horse ride or go sight seeing to the famous White Villages ( Peublos Blancos ) a short drive in land from us. From our apartment it is also easy to go on day trips to Gibraltar, Granada, Jerez and Malaga. The Costa del Sol is the warmest part of Europe in winter which makes it an attractive all season destination and we recommend it for a winter holiday when it is dark & gloomy in northern Europe as well as for summer holidays. We have put together a House Book in which we have listed in detail many of the places to visit, things to do and instructions, in order to make sure your stay here in Costalita is relaxing, stress free, interesting and fun. We have an Apartment Manager Barry who can be contacted during day time hours if help be needed. We are in an area with something for everybody: be it lazing about on the beach or taking a dip in the pool - you can swim here between the end of April and the end of October. You can also play golf, tennis, cycle, visit local markets, horse ride, take yoga classes, visit the gym, explore the dramatic landscape of Andalucia with its charming White Villages including Ronda, Gaucin or visit the internationally famous marinas of the Costa del Sol. Cordoba, Seville, Granada, Marbella are also easy destinations to tour.Accommodation description
