This stunning large and luxurious 2 double bedroom 1st floor apartment (with lift) is set in an enormous 9 acre tropical garden, which boasts 2 swimming pools and 2 tennis courts. With mountain and garden views from one side, and panoramic sea views from the other, this unique peaceful location is just 5 minutes drive east of Marbella itself, next to Rio Real golf course (considered to be the best course in the region), and just above uber-fashionable Trocadero beach club. With a very large living/dining room, lovely bedrooms (1 double, 1 twin) each with its own bathroom, and a choice of two terraces (one overlooking the sea, and the other the lovely gardens) on which to dine, this apartment has it all. Specified as a home, rather than a rental property, the flat oozes quality and charm. It has fibre optic WiFi and a SmartTV with both British terrestrial channels, Netflix, You Tube and Amazon Prime . The 9 acre garden is exceptionally generous for this area, and has a very large (Olympic size+) pool, as well as a smaller lap pool whic is open all the year round. In common with all shared pools in Europe over a certain size, by law, the large pool may only be used when a lifeguard is present. Therefore it is only open in shoulder and high seasons, and then only at specified times....usually from noon until the afternoon/evening depending on the month. There are also two hard tennis courts. The beautifully maintained grounds (5 full time gardeners) also has a boules pitch, and a small children's play area with 2 swings. There is non-allocated parking outside the building for visitor's cars. We do not allow smoking in this apartment.
