Location

The apartment is in the Castiglione complex in Nueva Alcantara, the beachside neighbourhood of San Pedro de Alcantara. San Pedro beach is approx. 100m away, a short walk through the complex and across the road. The beach is wide and generally uncrowded. The sand is darker and slightly coarse, typical of this stretch of the Costa del Sol, and in some areas the shoreline can be slightly stony when entering the water, so aqua shoes can be useful. The promenade runs along the seafront for several kilometres and connects directly to Puerto Banus to the east. Many guests are surprised that you can walk all the way there along the seafront. It is lined with beach restaurants (chiringuitos), cafes, cycle lanes and playgrounds. The walk takes around 40 to 45 minutes.



Recent review:

"We walked along the promenade every morning for breakfast. For 5 of the 7 nights we were there, rather than take the car or taxi, we walked all along the coast choosing a different beach restaurant for dinner." - Melanie, UK



San Pedro itself is quieter than Puerto Banus and is a proper Spanish town with a year-round community. Local restaurants, bars and supermarkets are all within easy reach. The nearest supermarket is less than 1km away. Puerto Banus is 10-15 minutes by car, or accessible along the promenade. For day trips further along the coast or into the hills, a car is useful but not essential for daily life. Day to day, most guests settle into a simple pattern: beach or pool in the morning, lunch along the promenade, and evenings back on the terrace or at one of the beach restaurants nearby. Everything you need for that kind of stay is close at hand.



Recent review:

"Location is fantastic, literally a one minute walk to the beach and the plethora of restaurants, beach bars and cafes." - Clare, UK



San Pedro de Alcantara has a typical Mediterranean climate with long warm summers and mild winters. Being on the coast, sea breezes keep temperatures noticeably cooler than inland Andalusia, particularly in the height of summer. Spring and autumn are often particularly good for walking, golf and outdoor dining. Winter can bring cooler and occasionally rainy spells, which surprises some guests. December to February are the quieter months and while sunny days are common, pack layers and do not rely on beach weather.

The Complex

Castiglione is one of the original beachside developments in Nueva Alcantara, well-established and generally quiet. The low-rise, whitewashed buildings are designed in a traditional Andalusian style and set within mature tropical gardens. The buildings are low-rise and there are no lifts. The apartment is on the first floor. If mobility is a consideration for anyone in your group, it is something to bear in mind before booking. The apartments are a mix of holiday homes and permanent residences, giving it a neighbourhood feel rather than a resort feel. The beach, the promenade and the nearest restaurants and cafes are all a short walk away. Castiglione is a no-party urbanisation. Guests are asked to be considerate of neighbours with regard to noise.



Pool Season: The pool is open all year around. Please note that there is no lifeguard on duty.

"Quiet but lovely pool. Exactly as described. Will definitely visit again." - Catherine, Ireland



Who Stays Here

Couples and small families looking for a beach base with easy access to the promenade and everything along it. The terrace and pool make it work well for guests who want to spend most of their time outdoors. The location also suits guests who want to be near Puerto Banus, as you can walk there along the promenade or reach it round ten -15 minutes by car. A typical day tends to start with breakfast on the terrace or a walk down to the promenade, followed by a morning at the beach or pool. Evenings are usually spent at one of the chiringuitos along the coast or at a restaurant in town.
