This self-catering holiday apartment is available to rent in Spain all year round, in considerably more comfort than a hotel and much more economically. Ideally located in Torrevieja itself, 60 seconds from the beach, everything you could want is within easy walking distance. This eliminates the need for a car, or for driving yours, if you have brought one. You step out the front door and make a left, heading toward the beach Playa del Cura. This beach is extremely popular for its fine, clean sand and crystal clear water. All along the beachfront are bars and restaurants, all remarkably reasonably priced. You'll think you are in paradise, sitting under a parasol in a cafe in the afternoon, feeling the warm breeze blowing gently by, listening to the waves lapping on the sand, and watching the palm trees lightly swaying. And best of all, your apartment is close so you don't have to wait in traffic jams at the end of the day or worry because you've left your sunscreen at home and have to return. This brand new, 2-bedroom apartment (completed July, 2003) has a lift and a staircase for easy accessibility. The master bedroom features a double bed, bed-side tables, a generous closet, and a balcony, which allows a wonderful cross-breeze. The second bedroom features two twin beds and a bedside table. Both bedrooms come fully furnished, with linens, blankets, curtains and bedspreads. All windows and balconies also feature external shutter blinds, effectively keeping the sun out until you are ready for it! The fully tiled bathroom features a full-sized bathtub with shower, WC, hand basin, bidet, mirror, and towels. The "American style" kitchen is fully equipped with clothes washer, oven, stove, coffee pot, kettle, refrigerator/freezer, saucepans, pots, dishes, and cutlery. All utensils, tablecloth, and napkins are provided to allow you the option of eating at home. The living room/dining room features a dining room table with tablecloth and seating for four. A sofa folds out into a bed to give extra capacity as needed. A 20" television is provided in case you tire of the perfect weather. And perhaps the best feature of the apartment - the second balcony - is located off the living room. The balcony, along with its four chairs and folding table, is perfect for taking that morning coffee or tea, or an afternoon beer. As the apartment is located on a quiet sidestreet, there is little to disturb the feeling of tranquility as you feel the sun's first rays warming you in the morning, or watch the stars come out after another perfect day. You'll be looking for excuses to sit out there to enjoy the wonderful weather.
