Compact village living with a private roof terrace and parking

An open-plan kitchen and living area forms the main room of this 2 bedroom top floor apartment in Benahavís, connecting to two bedrooms and a single bathroom within a 54 m² built area. The open-plan kitchen and living area makes practical use of the compact footprint. The property has been recently renovated.

What the 54 m² footprint means in practice

Fifty-four square metres across two bedrooms and one bathroom leaves no wasted corridor space, which makes the flat straightforward to heat, cool and clean. It also sets clear boundaries on how the rooms can be used. One bedroom will naturally serve as the main sleeping room, while the second is likely to be tighter and best checked with a tape measure if you intend to fit a double bed rather than a single or a desk. Having one shared bathroom works easily for a couple or a solo owner, though it is a point to consider if four adults plan to stay at the same time.

The roof terrace and the nine-flat building

Outside, the apartment has a 10 m² private roof terrace. Ten square metres is enough for a table and four chairs or a pair of loungers, giving you an outdoor spot above the street level of the village. The home sits at the top of a building of nine apartments. Sharing a block with only eight other owners keeps communal traffic down and avoids the busy feel of larger holiday complexes. The community fees are low. Buyers should check on a viewing whether the building has a lift, as top-floor access in smaller village blocks varies.

Village centre position and underground parking

The building stands in the centre of Benahavís village, with restaurants, shops and banks on the doorstep. Daily errands and evening meals happen on foot without needing a car. Anyone who knows the village centre also knows that street parking is scarce, especially when the restaurants fill up. For that reason, the private underground parking space included with this 2 bedroom top floor apartment in Benahavís is one of its most practical assets. You can leave the car downstairs, walk out into the village, and return without circling the streets.
