Our penthouse apartment features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 3 terraces!!
The main terrace directly overlooks the pool and gardens and has many options for seating and enjoying a glass of coffee or wine in the Spanish sun! The view from the main terrace overlooks the summer pool, and the winter pool is to the left. The pool has newer renovations just a year or two old, and has a zero entry area.
The pool is equipped with loungers and shade if desired, so no need to carry sun-chairs up and down the elevator. The pool entrance is within the safety of the community, and just steps away from the apartment. The terrace overlooking the pool allows for a close and careful watch of your swimmers.
You can enjoy sun all day long with terraces on both sides of this penthouse, in addition to the main terrace, there is a terrace off the middle bedroom as well as a large terrace upstairs with seating area, dining area, and sun loungers. Apartment is equipped with an electric BBQ for enjoying the delights of local cuisine at home.
As stated above, the apartment boasts 3 bedrooms to fit the whole family. The master bedroom is equipped with a king size bed with foam mattress topper, dresser, tv, and master bathroom en suite. Large closets accommodate suitcases and other traveling necessities. The master bathroom is equipped with a toilet, bidet, shower/tub, and blue tooth mirror for listening to music while getting ready.
Bedroom 2 is located just outside the master bedroom door in the hallway. This room boasts a king sized bed also equipped with a foam mattress topper, small bedside dressers, tv, large closets, as well as one of the terraces. The terrace has seating and a small table to enjoy coffee or wine in the morning or the evening as the sun sets.
The last bedroom (bedroom 3) is a twin sized bed on an expandable bed frame. The other mattress is in the closets in this room. It can be used as a single bed or expanded, or used as two singles (frame is also in the closet). This single bed also has a foam mattress topper for added comfort.

The tv's are all smart Tv's and have Netflix, Showtime, and Hulu. You are welcome to log into any additional streaming services you have at your home, just remember to log out upon departure!
The wonderful thing about our apartment, is the proximity to so many things to do. We are surrounded by golf courses (one just in the backyard, Duquesa Fairways Golf), and a small 3/4 mile or 1.21 km to reach the port. There are closer dining options than the port, with Kelly's Bar & Wine shops just a few turns down the road.
The port is an endless wonder, with more places to eat then you will have time for during your stay. The port is also a wonderful place to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee while watching the marina. There are grocery stores, shopping stores, public laundry, and ample places to eat and have a drink all within the short distance to the Duquesa port and surrounding areas. You can rent boats, or just enjoy the marina for the beauty it boasts. The public beach is also located within the port.
The welcome documents detail places to shop, eat, and get what you may need.
Although the kitchen is fully stocked, we hope you will enjoy the delights of the food surrounding the apartment. Fully stocked with pots, pans, serving dishes (8-10 settings), variety of wine glasses, cooking and serving utensils, and serving trays. There is a water filtration device in the apartment, coffee maker, toaster, and microwave. Dishwasher, oven, stove, and washing machine are all housed in the kitchen area. There is a folding clothes dryer in the closet for use when laundering.
Spanish wine is wonderful and well known, you will receive a bottle upon your arrival, and I hope you will enjoy the wines of the countryside during your stay. There is nothing more beautiful and satisfying than drinking a glass of wine on the terrace watching the sun go down. There is wine museum in Rhonda, a stunning city you must plan on visiting while here.
