Duquesa (El Castillo, Manilva) BeachFront complex/GF2Bed2Bath/AirCon/WiFI/Garage

Marina Del Castillo Ground floor 2 bed 2 bath with terrace in an excellently located tranquil beach front complex with an excellent swimming pool, nestled easy walking distance between Duquesa Marina/Port and El Castillo fishing village. Duquesa is a great family or romantic getaway location. Cosmopolitan and Spanish in equal measure, the genteel area is predominately non-package & self-catering in nature, a great place to explore further into Andalusia as well! Gibraltar, Rhonda, Tarifa, Marbella, Puerto Banus, Malaga & Cadiz are all within easy traveling distance. Gibraltar (via La Linea) & Estepona are also just a bus ride away.

Between the complex and the beach is the pretty and well-lit seated promenade between Duquesa Port to the north and Castillo village to the south (level walk 10 minutes max in each direction). Seafront walkways North and South mean there is access from Manilva Beach (and beyond) to the south, and past Sabinillas to Casares roundabout and on to Estepona to the north.

Marina Del Castillo is located in a quiet and peaceful location yet within very easy walking distance of restaurants bars and facilities. It is the most exclusive and recently completed beachfront development in Duquesa. There is a secure allocated underground parking space.

A very comfortable well furnished, spacious, secure (manned security with 24hr CCTV) ground floor 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment with outside terrace and part of a modern beachfront apartment complex with an excellent pool. There's an LG Smart 43” TV & 100mbs free WiFi, bring your digi-box or Firestick with VPN to access UK TV etc.

There's an open plan lounge/diner with a double pull-out sofa bed for guests 5 & 6, two bedrooms, two bathrooms (one en-suite) and a spacious shaded covered terrace with a six person outdoor dining table overlooking the secure pool area. There is also a sauna and gardens. Local property management company contacts are on hand for peace of mind. Keys are available locally 24 hrs. Note only the main complex door is accessible by key (for now) and all other external and the pool door are accessed by a 'fob' provided.

The apartment has a hydro bath, hydro massage shower, hot and cold air conditioning and a 43" Smart TV & WiFI (there is a DVD player as well). The apartment is finished to a high standard with luxury tiled floors to all rooms and walls in the wet rooms (2). The kitchen is fully fitted including fridge/freezer, dishwasher, coffee machine, microwave etc. There is a clothes washing machine located outside the kitchen with clothes horse for drying. Lounge and bedrooms have total blackout electric one-shot shutters (fantastic for restful sleep at any time), these, plus double locks and security bolts on all patio doors combined with the manned security, make the apartment ultra-secure.

Marina Del Castillo is within a very short, flat walking distance of all amenities including Duquesa Marina (the port), El Castillo village and Sabinillas town. There are also two good supermarkets 15 minutes walk away across a footbridge to the south. There are bus stops also within easy walking distance. The adjacent promenade also goes north through the port and onto the lovely Spanish town of Sabillinas, home to many more restaurants and tapas bars and a stunning beach. Whilst not adapted for wheelchair access there is level walking/wheelchair access to the apartment, reception, pool and to all local facilities in Duquesa and El Castillo.
Wander into the port and enjoy Ryders Bar, Chapter Two, The Quays , Sabor Toscana, Chili and many other great drink and eating places - Ryders and Chapter Two providing great value for money drinks. If you've never been to Duquesa before, give it a try, you'll have a really great time. Local car hire is available with pick up and drop off at Malaga or Gibraltar airports, ask me for details.

Marina Del Castillo Planta baja de 2 dormitorios y 2 baños con terraza en un tranquilo complejo frente a la playa excelentemente ubicado con una excelente piscina, ubicado a poca distancia a pie entre el puerto deportivo de la Duquesa y el pueblo pesquero de El Castillo. Duquesa es un excelente lugar para una escapada familiar o romántica. Cosmopolita y española a partes iguales, esta elegante zona es predominantemente de naturaleza sin paquetes y con cocina, ¡un gran lugar para explorar más a fondo Andalucía también! Gibraltar, Rhonda, Tarifa, Marbella, Puerto Banús, Málaga y Cádiz se encuentran a poca distancia. Gibraltar (vía La Línea) y Estepona también están a sólo un trayecto en autobús.

Entre el complejo y la playa se encuentra el bonito y bien iluminado paseo marítimo entre el Puerto de la Duquesa al norte y el pueblo de Castillo al sur (caminata nivelada de 10 minutos como máximo en cada dirección). Los pasillos marítimos norte y sur significan que hay acceso desde la playa de Manilva (y más allá) hacia el sur, y pasando Sabinillas hasta la rotonda de Casares y luego a Estepona hacia el norte.

Marina Del Castillo está ubicada en una zona tranquila y apacible, pero a poca distancia a pie de restaurantes, bares e instalaciones. Es el desarrollo frente al mar más exclusivo y recientemente terminado en Duquesa. Hay una plaza de aparcamiento subterráneo segura asignada.

El apartamento cuenta con bañera de hidromasaje, ducha de hidromasaje, aire acondicionado frío y caliente y Smart TV de 43" y WiFI (también hay un reproductor de DVD). El apartamento tiene acabados de alto nivel, con suelos de baldosas de lujo en todas las habitaciones y paredes en los cuartos húmedos (2). La cocina está totalmente equipada con nevera/congelador, lavavajillas, cafetera, microondas, etc. Hay una lavadora ubicada fuera de la cocina con tendedero para secar. El salón y los dormitorios tienen apagón eléctrico total. contraventanas de un solo disparo (fantásticas para un sueño reparador en cualquier momento), estas, además de cerraduras dobles y cerrojos de seguridad en todas las puertas del patio, combinados con la seguridad con personal, hacen que el apartamento sea ultraseguro.
Marina Del Castillo se encuentra a una distancia muy corta y plana de todos los servicios, incluido el puerto deportivo de la Duquesa (el puerto), el pueblo de El Castillo y la ciudad de Sabinillas. También hay dos buenos supermercados a 15 minutos a pie cruzando un puente peatonal hacia el sur. También hay paradas de autobús a poca distancia. El paseo adyacente también va hacia el norte a través del puerto y hacia la encantadora ciudad española de Sabillinas, hogar de muchos más restaurantes y bares de tapas y una impresionante playa. Aunque no está adaptado para el acceso en silla de ruedas, hay acceso nivelado para personas caminando o en silla de ruedas al apartamento, a la recepción, a la piscina y a todas las instalaciones locales en Duquesa y El Castillo.
Pasee por el puerto y disfrute de Ryders Bar, Chapter Two, The Quays, Sabor Toscana, Chili y muchos otros excelentes lugares para comer y beber: Ryders y Chapter Two ofrecen bebidas con una excelente relación calidad-precio. Si nunca has estado en Duquesa, pruébalo, lo pasarás muy bien.

Disappointing
Excellent building but disappointing apartment. It is located on the lower ground floor next to the entrance & exit from the underground garage so all drivers, passengers plus cleaners & maintenance staff coming and going from about 4am were banging both doors. We were there three weeks but there was no change of bed linen. As the terrace was completely in the shade there was little chance of drying any washing. The kitchen is under-equipped- no chopping board, no jug, no butter dish, a dirty coffee machine, hot plate rusty & stained, and tiny preparation area. The owner was advised that the battery on the garage opener was flat so we needed to take a taxi to the next village to buy a new one. It showed that the property manager hadn’t checked anything prior to our arrival. There is a continuing bad smell in the bathroom from the drains which is probably symptomatic of the location on the lower ground floor. In summary it’s a lovely building well located for both the village and the harbour but probably the worst apartment there. Very disappointing.

Great apartment close to marina
The apartment is like a home from home, Steve has provided everything you could ask for on holiday. It was lovely and cool despite the heatwave and the kids loved the pool area which was immaculate. The beach is 30 seconds walk away with a lovely beach bar and the marina with a great selection of restaurants is only a few mins walk. Thanks for everything Steve, hope to be back and would definitley recommend.

Fantastic Holiday in Beautiful Duquesa!
Hi. This was our 3rd time staying in Steve’s brilliant apartment. The location is so good , pool right outside the door and 1 minute from the beach. We could walk everywhere . The apartment is fantastic and we had plenty space , even with 6 staying, including 4 teenagers! This is a fantastic place for a holiday and the apartment has everything you could possibly need. It really is a home away from home. There is security all the time , and it is a very safe place to stay, no noise at night . We really loved our stay and can’t wait to go again. It was all so easy to book and collecting keys was simple. Thanks Steve for everything.
