How can I choose between the 2 Apartments?:
Both have similar accommodation: one twin and one double room, a living/dining area and a fully fitted kitchen with fridge and top freezer, microwave, etc.
The differences are:
The upper apartment has a large patio with a spiral staircase leading to a roof terrace. Inside, it has a completely newly-installed kitchen with electric cooker and washing machine, and a newly-installed bathroom with a shower (but no bath).
The lower has a smaller terrace, but it does lead to a little private garden with grass and shady-trees. In the garden shed there is a washing machine. The kitchen has a hob, but no oven but there is a combination microwave. The bathroom has a bath and an overhead shower.
The apartments are not air-conditioned, but each has 2 large floor-standing fans for the summer, and 2 oil-filled electric heaters for the winter.
The villa is ideal for large families or groups of friends, or for 2 families who want to holiday together!
Beach and Pool Complex.:
Nerja has about 16km of beaches, all of which are easily accessible. The nearest beach, and in our opinion the best, is Burriana, about 2 kms from the villa. The 800-metre beach is a mixture of fine sand and pebbles and has all the facilities you could wish for. There are numerous beach bars and seafront cafes here. There's a full range of water sports including scuba diving and boat cruises along the coast.
There is a bus service from near the villa into town. These run twice an hour from early morning until late at night, and you can use these to get you near to the beaches. There is ample car parking at all the beaches.
The beaches, and the communal pool on the site, have umbrellas and sunbeds for hire. Our apartment has sunbeds, and sun umbrellas which you are welcome to use at the pool or beach.
The pool complex has lifeguards on duty during open hours. The beaches also are guarded during the height of the season.
Local Restaurants and Shopping:
There are loads of restaurants in the town, a huge variety of British run and international, and also local Spanish. On the urbanization, there are 6 bar/restaurants, and bars/cafes around the pool that serve food and drinks.
The local shopping is easily accessible. Next to the pool complex on site is a 'sells- everything' supermarket. Then at the exit off the main road to the site is a very large supermarket selling a vast range of British produce. Then, of course, Nerja has several comprehensive Spanish supermarkets.
Other Activities:
World famous caves, go-karting, scuba courses. 90minutes Granada, Alhambra, skiing,etc.
