Managed tourist property with sea views in Pierre & Vacances

Sixty square metres of built area and an 11-square-metre terrace make up this resale property on the western Costa del Sol. This 1 bedroom middle floor apartment in Manilva is a managed tourist unit within the Pierre & Vacances holiday village, rather than a standard residential home. That distinction defines everything about how the property is owned and used: it is bought for hands-off holiday lets and occasional off-season stays, not for permanent living.

Usage rules and management structure

Because the unit is classified as a tourist apartment rather than a residential property, full-time occupation is ruled out from the start. Pierre & Vacances handles all guest rentals, routine maintenance and administration on behalf of the owner. Personal stays are capped at a maximum of two months per year during the low season, so a buyer who wants August weeks for family use will need to look elsewhere. When viewing or reviewing the paperwork, a buyer should ask to see the current management contract to check the exact dates that define the low season and how owner bookings are scheduled.

The layout and the terrace

Inside, the 60 square metres of built area divide into one bedroom, one bathroom, a living area and a fully equipped kitchen. For a single-bedroom layout, sixty square metres is a generous footprint that avoids the cramped feel of a studio conversion. Outside, the property includes an 11-square-metre terrace with sea views. Being a middle floor unit means there are neighbours above and below, which provides shelter to the outdoor space and keeps the flat away from ground-level foot traffic.

What the community includes

Owners and guests in this 1 bedroom middle floor apartment in Manilva have access to the wider holiday village facilities. The grounds include communal gardens, swimming pools, a restaurant, a bar and sports facilities, along with parking. Having catering and sports facilities on site reduces the need to drive for daily routines during a stay, and the upkeep of these shared areas falls under the resort operation.

Beach access and the surrounding area

The complex sits 500 metres from the beach, a flat or short walk that does not require taking a car out of the parking area. By road, the resort is five minutes from Sotogrande, placing its marina and services just across the municipal border while keeping the apartment within Manilva.
