South light and a corner plot with a private garden

South-facing rooms catch the sun from mid-morning until late afternoon, and the corner position brings daylight in from a second side. In this 3 bedroom ground floor apartment in Hacienda del Señorio de Cifuentes, Benahavís, that extra open wall also means only one immediate neighbour on the same level, reducing shared walls and foot traffic past the windows.

Open-plan rooms across 128 m² built

The 128 m² built area is arranged around an open-plan main room where the kitchen, dining and sitting areas share the space and open directly onto the outside. Having a single main room keeps the sightlines clear to the garden, though buyers who prefer a closed kitchen will need to see how the layout works for them in person. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms complete the interior, giving a visiting family or two couples enough room to stay without using the living area for sleeping. Parking is included with the apartment.

The 61 m² terrace and private garden

Stepping out from the main room brings you onto a 61 m² terrace and a private garden. A terrace of this size—nearly half the footprint of the built area inside—holds a full dining table and sun loungers at the same time without having to move furniture around to walk past. Because this 3 bedroom ground floor apartment in Hacienda del Señorio de Cifuentes, Benahavís sits on the ground level, the paving gives way directly to lawn, which suits anyone who wants step-free access outside or needs enclosed ground for a dog. On a viewing, it is worth checking the height of the hedging along the boundary to see how much screening it gives from the communal paths.

The terrace and what the community includes

Beyond the private plot, the gated grounds of Hacienda del Señorio de Cifuentes are watched by 24-hour security with video surveillance. Residents share communal gardens and four swimming pools, one of which is heated so it stays usable through the cooler months. A communal gym has also been approved for the development, with completion scheduled for 2026.

Short-term rentals and the hillside setting

The apartment holds a valid tourist licence and sits within a community whose statutes explicitly permit short-term holiday lets. With many hillside communities on the Costa del Sol now restricting holiday rentals, having the paperwork and community permission in place removes a common legal hurdle for buyers who plan to let the property when they are not using it. Set on elevated ground in Benahavís, the complex looks out from the hills while keeping San Pedro, Marbella, Puerto Banús, the coast and nearby golf courses within driving distance.
