Great apartment in good location!
My husband and I have just returned from a couple of weeks' stay in this apartment and were very pleased with it. The property was as described and we found everything that we needed was included. The beds were great and the bed linen and towels were of a very good quality. The kitchen and equipment was good and there was a washing machine if you need to wash your clothes. Good TV with UK channels available. The sea and country view from the balcony was amazing and there were 3 birds of prey that spent a lot of time perched on an old tree right opposite the patio doors and they would keep us entertained us for hours with their swooping and searching for food! One day we had a huge herd of goats pass by and spend the afternoon grazing down below the apartment (outside the complex fence though!) The apartment had private parking space downstairs in the communal garage, so it was easy to come back from the beach or the shops, park the car and just ride up in the lift to the apartment. The beach close to the apartment was great and there was a lovely little chiringuito with clean toilets, serving food and drinks and some sunbeds that were free of charge. The beaches along the coast were all as pristine and well cared-for and were mainly empty of people, so perfect for quiet beach days. Gibraltar is only 35 minutes' drive away and easy to get to, as are so many towns that are great to visit. Estepona's old town is definitely worth a visit and offers lots of lovely restaurants as well as a fantastic beach. The port of La Duquesa was very close and we did eat there one night but found that it was just another port full of British ex-pat boat-owners and pricey restaurants. We preferred to go to Las Sabinillas, which we found offered good restaurants with more local atmosphere. There was a great little fish and chip restaurant/take-away called "Marlows" located nearby, next to the Eroski supermarket, that we did eat in a few times. As well as the usual "proper" fish and chip dinners, they did excellent Sunday roasts at a good price. A little closer to the apartment, there was a brilliant Argentinian steak house called "El Estribo" . Quite expensive but with fabulous steaks and excellent wines! All in all, we had a great trip!
