The terrace is set up with modern, comfortable furniture for dining and relaxing, and the apartment sleeps four across two bedrooms.

"Gardens were beautiful and right by the front so very easy to find a restaurant or go for a walk." - Neville, UK
Location — San Pedro Beach and Promenade
The apartment is in the Castiglione complex in Nueva Alcántara, the beachside neighbourhood of San Pedro de Alcántara. San Pedro beach is about 200 metres away, a short walk through the complex and across the road. The beach is wide and generally uncrowded. The sand is darker and slightly coarse, typical of this stretch of the Costa del Sol, and in some areas the shoreline can be slightly stony when entering the water, so aqua shoes can be useful. The seafront promenade runs for several kilometres and connects directly to Puerto Banús to the east. It is lined with beach restaurants (chiringuitos), cafés, cycle lanes and playgrounds. Walking there takes around 40–45 minutes.

"Very close to the restaurants and the beach." - Fiona, UK
San Pedro is quieter than Puerto Banús and is a proper Spanish town with a year-round community, where people live and work as well as visit. Restaurants and supermarkets are within walking distance of the complex.
This location offers easy access to the wider Costa del Sol without being in the middle of the busier areas. The setting lends itself to a simple day-to-day routine centred around the beach, promenade and terrace.

"During the time of our stay in October the residential area was peaceful during evenings." - Anna, Finland
The area has a typical Mediterranean climate with long warm summers and mild winters. Spring and autumn are particularly good for walking, golf and outdoor dining. Winter can bring cooler and occasionally rainy spells, which can surprise some guests.

The Complex
Castiglione is one of the original beachside developments in Nueva Alcantara, well-established and generally quiet. The low-rise, whitewashed buildings are designed in a traditional Andalusian style and set within mature tropical gardens. The buildings are low-rise and there are no lifts. The apartment is on the first floor. If mobility is a consideration for anyone in your group, it is something to bear in mind before booking. The apartments are a mix of holiday homes and permanent residences, giving it a neighbourhood feel rather than a resort feel. The beach, the promenade and the nearest restaurants and cafes are all a short walk away. Castiglione is a no-party urbanisation. Guests are asked to be considerate of neighbours with regard to noise.
Pool Season: The pool is open all year around. Please note that there is no lifeguard on duty.
Who Stays Here
Couples and small families who want a beach base where the car stays parked. The position means most of what guests need is on foot: beach, promenade, restaurants, supermarket. A typical stay has a simple rhythm: breakfast on the terrace, morning at the beach or pool, lunch at one of the chiringuitos, back to the terrace in the afternoon. Evenings at a restaurant in town or along the promenade.
