Villa in El Faro, Mijas

Set over two levels in El Faro de Calaburra, Mijas Costa, this detached villa is within walking distance of the beach, shops and restaurants. Fuengirola and La Cala de Mijas are both around a 10-minute drive away. It enjoys open green views with partial sea views.

The entrance level has private open parking, a charming rustic courtyard and a self-contained single-level apartment. This apartment has an open-plan kitchen and living area, a terrace, two double bedrooms and a modern bathroom. External stairs lead down to a second independent apartment, completely renovated to a high standard just over a year ago. It offers an open-plan kitchen and living area opening directly onto the pool, four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a utility room. The private pool is in great condition and surrounded by a spacious sun terrace.

The lower apartment has been beautifully modernised, but the villa as a whole would benefit from further updating. The layout suits a family with older children, an investor seeking two long-term rentals, or owners wanting extra rental income. Internal stairs could also be installed to create one spacious family home.

Primary features:

• Six bedrooms and three bathrooms across two independent apartments
• Private pool with spacious sun terrace
• Partial sea views and open green outlook
• Lower apartment fully renovated just over a year ago
• Private open parking and rustic courtyard
