Two bed apartment with large private roof terrace

The accommodation

Our apartment is in the Las Brisas development overlooking the town of Puerto de Mazarron. This lovely penthouse is on the top (3rd) floor, and benefits from stunning views of the mountain ranges that surround the bay of Mazarron. On our large private roof terrace you can have al fresco lunch under the pergola or soak up the sun on the loungers. We have furnished in a comfortable, contemporary style to make the most of this spacious, light and airy apartment.

The complex has a fantastic communal pool with a special divided shallow area for little ones. In July and August there is a life guard. By the pool there are changing rooms, showers and toilets, as well as plenty of space for lounging. Very relaxing! We have a dedicated space in the secure underground car park to keep your car cool, and a lift to take you to the door of the penthouse. The beaches, shops, bars and restaurants are all within a 10-minute walk.

There are two bedrooms, a double and a twin, a bathroom, a lounge/dining room and a kitchen, and a spacious hallway. As well as the private roof terrace, there is another balcony accessed from the living room and double bedroom.

The apartment also has wifi and internet TV, receiving both Spanish and British channels including Sky Films and Sky and BT Sports.

Setting

Mazarron bay is enclosed by the mountain ranges of Sierras Moreras, Almenara, Algorobo, Lo Alto, Muela and slightly further to the North, Sierra Espuña. This gives Mazarron Bay a "microclimate" which invariably results in better weather than the rest of Spain. Puerto de Mazarron boasts more than 300 days of sunshine every year. The coastline of Puerto has many kilometres of fine sandy beaches and safe bathing.

For keen walkers, there are fantastic hills and mountains within a short driving distance. We have seen people surf there, so that's a possibility, along with diving and snorkeling- there's a small reef in the bay. Water sports, sailing and bike hire is available locally.

There is a museum, as well as other sites of cultural and historical interest. A particularly good day out is a trip to the old naval installations at Cabo Tinoso. This mountain fort has spectacular views, and fascinating architecture.

Activities and attractions

This is a perfect place to either spend your well-earned holiday relaxing, or exploring the beautiful local area. There is a great system of marked walks locally and regionally; you can hire bikes; or take the plunge with a dive school. The area also has a surprisingly full calendar of sporting, cultural and festival events. Really, you could have 5 types of holiday in one!
