The area the house is located in benefits from what is known as a 'micro climate'. Surrounded by mountains, Marbella benefits from 325 days of sunshine a year, so it is a wonderful place at anytime of the year. Walking to the beach without taking a car is a luxury, leaving towels on the beach chairs and coming home for lunch - then returning to the beach! For folks who like to play golf, you can walk onto the golf course from the house or drive to the clubhouse for lunch. There are 8 community members who use the pool, which has it's own garden with spectacular views of the mediterranean. Oftentimes we are the only persons using the pool. There are many amenities at Los Monteros urbinization/hotel, such as a beach club, tennis, olympic pool, all which can be accessed for a small fee or temporary membership. You can walk along the beach from our house to Los Monteros beach club, or drive to the hotel in a couple of minutes. The house is in a small cul-de-sac so only homeowners and their guests use the street.
