Village centre living on a cobbled street

The local pharmacy, supermarket, cafés, and tapas bars are all reached on foot down narrow cobbled streets. This resale 3 bedroom top floor apartment in Manilva sits in the centre of the traditional white village, surrounded by vineyards. Schools, the village church, and sports facilities are also within walking distance, meaning daily errands do not require a car.

71 square metres across three bedrooms

Fitting three bedrooms into a 71 square metre built area means little space is lost to corridors. The main bedroom and the single second bedroom both have fitted wardrobes and juliette balconies looking out over the village street below. The third bedroom is sized to take twin beds. All three rooms share one bathroom fitted with a shower cubicle, a practical detail for families or guests to keep in mind during morning routines.

Dual-aspect living and open-plan kitchen

The lounge, dining area, and fully fitted open-plan kitchen occupy one shared room. An archway off the main lounge opens into a secondary seating area, which gives two people the option to read or watch television separately without retiring to a bedroom. Because the home has a dual aspect, daylight enters from two sides, and air conditioning is already installed in the principal rooms. The property is maintained for immediate occupation, though a buyer will likely want to carry out minor cosmetic updates to modernise the finishes.

Juliette balconies, staircase access, and the building

Rather than a sit-out terrace, outdoor connection comes via the two juliette balconies facing the street, allowing the doors to be thrown open for fresh air without external floor maintenance. Entry from the cobbled lane is through a secure street-level entrance and up an Andalusian tiled staircase. As a traditional village building rather than a modern suburban complex, there are no communal pools or gardens to maintain, and a buyer should note the walk up the stairs to the top floor when carrying shopping.

Five minutes from the coast

Living in the village keeps life quieter outside of the traditional wine festivals and fairs, while the coast remains close. A five-minute drive reaches the town of Sabinillas and La Duquesa marina for Blue Flag beaches, golf courses, and waterfront dining. For wider travel along the coast, Estepona is 15 minutes away by road, while Gibraltar, Marbella, and Málaga Airport take between 25 minutes and just under an hour.
