GET A TASTE OF THE HIGH LIFE IN THIS BEACHSIDE RENTAL WITH PRIVATE POOL.
There are so many reasons to love this duplex holiday home. For starters, the abundant living space comfortably allows a party of 8 to spread out without feeling cramped. The stylish interiors feature a large living & dining room flowing to a balcony, which also connects to the fully fitted kitchen, including a traditional filter coffee machine and a pods coffee machine, giving you 2 sets of outdoor dining options and a delightful view of the palm-dotted gardens. With air con to mitigate the balmy weather plus free Wi-Fi, you’ll feel at home in no time.
On the entrance level you will find a large reformed kitchen (2018) and a spacious living room. Both the kitchen and living room has access to a terrace overlooking the garden and pool.
The en-suite master bedroom, featuring a king-size bed, is located on the lower floor and includes a private terrace overlooking the garden and pool. Between the lower floor and the entrance level, there is a split level with three bedrooms, two renovated bathrooms, and a toilet. Two of the bedrooms have twin beds that can be pushed together if needed, while the third bedroom, also with twin beds, is accessible only through one of the other bedrooms.
The taste of the high life? The expansive roof terrace encapsulates all the allure of coastal living. Set against the majestic Sierra Blanca mountains, it has everything for alfresco entertaining: an outdoor kitchen and dining area, and a lounge area with comfortable seating. However, the icing on the cake is the private plunge pool, which creates that feeling of intimacy and indulgence. But, if what really matters to you is location, this also forms part of the package at this holiday rental.
Castiglione is a prestigious gated community with an outdoor pool set in lush tropical gardens. It has direct access to the San Pedro beach promenade, which goes all the way to Marbella. The location is about as good as it gets and you can leave the car home. Castiglione is in the heart of the beach lifestyle action but still enjoys a quiet location for a relaxed holiday. You can choose from an array of restaurants and beach bars, along the waterfront or in the town itself. Both San Pedro town and Puerto Banus are a flat, easy stroll away.
We always provide complimentary beach towels for your convenience.
The property is located in a no party urbanisation. There is to be no late night noise nor any anti-social / disruptive behaviour.
The apartment is located on the second floor. There is no elevator available.
If you are interested in Castiglione complex, we also have other apartments within the same urbanisation.
LOCATION
San Pedro Alcantara is a coastal town wedged between Marbella and Estepona and, despite its proximity to glamorous Marbella, has managed to remain unspoilt. Very traditional and laidback, it attracts the type of visitor looking for a more low-key holiday.
Although San Pedro is small, it is a vibrant town abuzz with restaurants, bars, bakery cafes and ice cream parlours. The food scene is both local and international, with Irish pubs, Asian restaurants, Dutch bars all next to traditional Spanish bars and restaurants. There are a couple of well-priced supermarkets (Mercadona, Maskom, Carrefour and Día), a 24-hour pharmacy and boutiques. Thursday is street market day, a true bargain hunter’s paradise. The Boulevard is fast becoming the heart of San Pedro and a favourite with children with a total of six playgrounds and a skateboard area. Adults can sit around nearby, or go to one of the bar/restaurants for a drink, a snack or a meal.
Nueva Alcantara is the new part of town with wide tree-lined avenues leading down to the beach. On the waterfront, the 2 km sweeping tiled promenade serves as an open-air gym with exercise machines and is always bustling with joggers, strollers and dog walkers. It is dotted with chiringuitos all the way along, most of them offering Mediterranean cuisine and, of course, the ubiquitous thirst-quenching tinto de verano. The promenade also links up to Puerto Banus and it is possible to walk all the way to Marbella along the sea front.
Don't expect any wild nightlife. A night out typically consists of a meal and a few drinks at a local bar - although there are a couple of salsa clubs- or a moonlight stroll along the beach promenade. If you're looking for a big party night, Marbella and Puerto Banús are a short drive away.
For sporting activities, there are many options. Very close by is the Nueva Alcantara Club with 16 padel courts and the I/O gym. The adjacent residential area of Guadalmina is also known for its well-kept golf courses. If you just want to hit a few balls, try the Guadalmina public driving range (Located close to the Barceló Hotel). For a bit more action for the kids, the Cable Ski Marbella, next to the driving range, offers wakeboard, kneeboard, and water-ski lessons. The road to Ronda starts at San Pedro so experienced cyclists can enjoy a challenging but beautiful ride.

This apartment looks even better in real!
All the furnitures are very clean and it’s perfectly equipped. The view from the terrace is very peaceful, and the rooftop is a dream! The walk to the beach is 1 minute and it’s walking distance to Puerto Banús as well. We had a perfect stay and will definitely come back if we visit again.

Fantastic location and wonderful roof terrace.Disappointing with the bedding as we were staying for one month and that if I wanted a change of bedding for our sons beds it would be extra! We were given a change of our bedding only. Every morning at 8.15 there were pipes banging extremely loud in the walls for at least 5 minutes.I feel it was a lot of money to pay and finer details need to be addressed.

Thank you for your feedback. We have checked our maintenance and feedback logs and the banging noise hasn't been reported before. We will keep an eye/ear out for it to see if it persists. Regarding the bed linen it seems to be a case of mis-understanding. It was understood that you were requesting weekly changes of bed linen which would require the cleaners to come to strip the beds, make them with clean bed linen and leave with the old bed linen to wash and get ready for the following week. This of course comes with an extra charge. We are sorry we did not understand correctly your request.

Everything was in excellent order and location was ideal.
Just stayed for a week at the Duplex apartment with a mix of adults and late-teenage boys. Puerto Banus centre is a 30 minute stroll away, Supermarket 10 mins and local beach and restaurants literally on your doorstep. The rooftop pool was a real bonus for everyone. Thomas and his team were always responsive to any questions prior to the holiday and also when staying at the apartment. Would definitely return.

Cromptons Summer Holiday 2022
We stayed in the Penthouse apartment (for the second time) and one of our daughters family had the garden apartment below. Once again the apartment was a real delight to stay in and the complex is excellent. We particularly like the roof top patio with the barbeque and pool which the children loved. The lower patio is also very good with the views over the complex pool towards the sea. We spent many late nights drinking our cocktails.
There are many varied restaurants within walking distance and Puerto Banus with its marina, yachts and cars is about a 30 minute walk away.
I can thoroughly recommend this complex and the two apartments, Colleen dealt with all my queries prior to the holiday and everything went very smoothly, very easy to deal with.
I am sure that we will visit again in the future.
The lift to the apartment was a bit erratic and good do with a good service.

Amazing Stay
Location, property and the overall facilities were superb and the rooftop pool and views were simply amazing. We didn't use the communal pool but that looks great too. We will be back!!!
The elevator no longer works so its a lot of stairs to get suit cases up and down. This should be explained before renting as it may be difficult for older couples and families with small children. The pool area upstairs is amazing but the grill/drain that captures water around the edge of the pool is sticking up in places and extremely sharp and rusty. They have strategically placed some large stones on it to keep it down but it should be fixed ASAP as it could cause serious damage to bare feet etc. Especially small children etc. Whilst the bedding was okay and clean, it could really be updated and renewed. With some slight finesse and a little money spent it could be superb.
Paul
Response from VrboOwner on 25 October 2024
Thank you for your feedback. We will look into the drain issue. Regarding the elevator it is already mentioned on the advert in the property description that there is no elevator. On all our Castiglione apartment adverts it is mentioned in the description that there are no elevators.

Great location and prestige accomodation
Super location, quiet, lush and beautifully maintained location. Eevrything in walking distance, beach, town, supermarket, restaurants and bars. Easy to walk to Puerto Banus and even Marbella. Communal pools a great size and super clean. Love the roof terrace and pool. It's clear the owners are continually investing and upgrading the property. Very well equipped. BBQ spotless which can be an area over looked. We would re-rent this place in a heartbeat.
Some areas need a little TLC, the drain strips around the pool are rusty and the pool steps a little loose. Pool glass could have been cleaner. A little strange that the 'sheets' were basically the empty duvet covers, would have preferred proper top sheets. Shower in main bathroom we could not get truly hot, had to use the other bathrooms. Building lift was out of order (which to be honest did not concern us at all but might other less able guests?). None of the above in any way serious (maybe the pool steps shoudl be attended to) just constructive comment.
Jocelyn
Response from VrboOwner on 25 October 2024
Thank you for your feedback. The bed sheets are duvet covers but without the duvet in the summer months because it is too hot to sleep with the duvets. In the cooler months of course the duvets are available to use. For a number of years now all our adverts for Castiglione apartments (except ground floor) mention that there are no elevators in the urbanisation. For the pool area the parts had been ordered already so just waiting for them to arrive (there were delays) and to be fitted.
We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and we do hope to hear from you again soon.

The penthouse apartment was tired and in need of being decorated
The cleanliness was not up to what we expected
The pool had many tiles missing and we were told they would be fixed but that never happened
Many of the dishes were chipped
The pictures of the furniture in the apartment was not as we found it
There was a problem with the safe that was resolved but only after we missed our trip to Gibraltar as the passports were in the safe and we could not access them
The swimming pool was suppose to be cleaned when we were there and we never noticed this happening
Instruction book needs to be updated with the right instructions for the equipment in the apartment
Lovely complex and nice and quiet stay would have been better if the apartment was clean and decorated to the standard advertised
I would advise that the owners update their listing

Response from VrboOwner on 8 June 2023
Thank you for your feedback regarding the new furniture. We are sorry it is not to your taste. There seems to have been a misunderstanding about the pool tiles being fixed during your stay. They can only be fixed once the pool is drained and dried which of course takes a couple of days and as it was only discovered in the morning after the check out of the booking before you there was no time to do it before your arrival. Nor really during your stay unless you were ok with not having the pool to use. As mentioned though on arrival the pool maintenance company does pass by on Wednesday afternoons and if you aren't at home they do enter. So quite possibly you weren't at the apartment when it got cleaned.

Magnificent accommodation
The accommodation has everything you could ever need when holidaying in San Pedro. The roof top pool and outdoor space is the crowning jewel and it makes this accommodation first class.
Minor maintenance points including stairwell lighting and stair tiles, also would be good to have both lifts working.

Fantastic Penthouse
As a group of 8 female friends we were absolutely delighted with the penthouse. The rooftop pool and barbecue area are out of this world. The balcony outside the kitchen was beautiful for breakfast. The kitchen is hi tech and has everything you could possibly want. There are several restaurants within a few minutes walk. Marabierta was our favourite for dinner followed by Kala Kalua for lunch by the sea.
The only thing we thought would be an improvement would be a hand rail going down the steps at the rooftop pool.
