Apartment in Calahonda, Mijas

Originally a two-bedroom layout, this generously sized apartment has been converted to offer three bedrooms and two bathrooms while still keeping plenty of living space. Just inside the entrance are a large bedroom and a family bathroom. Further in, a good-sized kitchen sits alongside the dining area and the second double bedroom.

Two fireplaces give the apartment a warm, homely feel. A pleasant terrace offers amazing sea views, and the beach, shops and bars are just a couple of minutes' walk away.
