South-east light and two distinct outlooks in Altos de La Quinta

152 square metres of built area and a 40 square metre terrace give this property the footprint of a small house on a single level. This 3 bedroom middle floor apartment with golf views in Benahavís sits within the residential urbanisation of Altos de La Quinta. It is a refreshed resale property that avoids the typical single-aspect layout of a mid-level flat by looking out to both the Mediterranean and the surrounding golf course.

Open-plan living and bedroom orientations

The interior has been updated around a modern open-plan kitchen and living area. Putting the kitchen and main room together means the cook is not shut away, though it also means kitchen noise and cooking smells share the same volume as the sofa. The three bedrooms and two bathrooms divide along the two sides of the building. The front-facing bedrooms look out to the sea, while the rear bedroom faces the fairways. Guests or family members using that back room get a quiet green outlook rather than looking into a neighbouring block, and everyone has a clear view from their window.

The terrace and what the community includes

Stepping out from the main living room brings you onto a 40 square metre terrace facing south-east. That size comfortably takes both a dining table and loungers without having to shuffle furniture around every time you sit down to eat. A south-east orientation means strong morning and midday sun, while leaving the terrace in cooler shade by late afternoon. Outside the apartment, the Altos de La Quinta community maintains shared gardens and a swimming pool. A private parking space is included with the property, and there is additional parking available for guests so visitors do not have to hunt for a spot on the street.

Daily errands and rental rules

Living in the La Quinta hills means driving for most errands, as it is a residential district rather than a town centre. However, the Los Halcones commercial centre is close by and covers daily essentials with a supermarket, a pharmacy, cafés and restaurants that open every day. For buyers who do not plan to be in Spain all year, the community rules are a decisive factor here: short-term rentals are permitted in the building. When viewing this 3 bedroom middle floor apartment with golf views in Benahavís, it is worth checking the exact registration paperwork required by the regional register and seeing where the private parking space sits in relation to the building entrance.
