Living in Altos de Marbella
“I have lived in Altos de Marbella for many years: I simply love the incredible sea views – particularly the stunning sunrises and sunsets – and with recent innovations in the area, I am very pleased to call this neighbourhood my home. Close to golf, great beaches, the Costa del Sol Hospital, and Marbella town, and now the site of some spectacular contemporary new builds, Altos is an excellent address and a great place in which to invest. Land prices are still below average for Marbella, which is excellent news if you are planning on building your own dream home. If this appeals to you, do get in touch and I can help you select a plot and set the exciting process in motion.”

“What I love about Mijas-Costa is being just minutes away from the beach. It’s such a family-friendly area, with plenty of activities for children and good restaurants. The area is very established, and while properties offer many of the same facilities as those in Marbella, the prices are lower. We have some excellent properties in in Calahonda and La Cala that I would love to show you!”
