VELILLA SEAVIEW - Apartment with communal pool in Almuñécar (Costa Tropical), for 4 people You arrive at Paseo Marítimo Velilla and the sea is right there, ten metres from the door. This 65 m2 apartment sits on the seventh floor of a south-facing building, so light floods the living room and from the terrace you can see the water and the town stretching out along the coast. It's a home designed for simplicity: two bedrooms, an open kitchen onto the living room, and everything you need so your beach week doesn't mean packing anything extra. INSIDE THE HOUSE. The apartment is organised around one main space where the living room opens onto the kitchen, equipped with a freezer, oven, microwave, dishwasher and coffee machine. The two bedrooms are set up for four people: one with two single beds and another with a double bed. The bathroom has a shower and hairdryer. You'll also find a washing machine, iron, television and internet, so how you disconnect is entirely up to you. OUTSIDE. The terrace is generous and comes with garden furniture, the spot where you'll have breakfast looking at the sea before heading down to the beach. The building has a shared garden and, as part of the community, an angular pool measuring 12 by 5 metres with a depth between 120 and 200 centimetres, open from mid-June to mid-September. The pool area has a toilet and outdoor shower so you don't have to go upstairs dripping wet. WHERE YOU ARE. You're right on Paseo Marítimo Velilla, in Almuñécar, ten metres from the pebble beach that gives the building its name, and the same distance from a grocery shop. The supermarket is a kilometre away, and nearby you'll find restaurants, bars, a bakery, a café and a pedestrian area for a stroll after dinner. The bus stop is ten metres away. If you feel like moving around, Nerja, La Herradura, Frigiliana and Granada are a short drive away, and the Alpujarras and Sierra Nevada are just as accessible if you're after mountains instead of beach. There are hiking trails through Sierra Almijara, Sierra Tejeda and the Valle de Lecrín for those who prefer boots to sandals. WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW. The building, built in 1974 and renovated in 2021, has a lift up to the seventh floor, where the apartment is located. The communal pool operates seasonally, from mid-June to mid-September. The owner does not accept groups of young people. Luggage loading and unloading can be done directly in front of the building, so you won't have to carry much from the car.
