Welcome in our appartment in Puresouth
Hello, friends and family! We've created this page to provide you with all the information you need. We hope you find it helpful. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you need any assistance.
It's a brand-new, ground-floor apartment with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large terrace, and a garden with a sea view.
The beach, complete with a beach bar and food options, is just a 12-13 minute walk from our door. Uber taxis are available to take you anywhere right from the front door. The nearest big town, which has bars and restaurants, is a pleasant 30-minute walk along the beach or a 5-minute taxi ride away

First up, where is it?
So it’s just outside a lovely small marina town called ‘Puerto De La Duquesa’ on the Costa Del Sol. Duquesa has a nice castle ruins for the culture vultures and 10km of boardwalk down a nice beach for fitness freaks. Our place is 15 mins from Estepona or 25 mins from Marbella (Puerto Banus) but most things you’d need are walkable or within a 10 min drive.

Quick video tour
We made this video when we were finishing off the garden, but it gives you a good idea of what the kitchen dining area looks like going to the outside terrace area. Terrace looks like this!
The property is a recent, gated complex with 3 pools, private gym, sauna & steam room (in Winter), well maintained gardens, sun terrace, pool table and communal areas.
"We truly love the private and relaxed atmosphere, with the added opportunity to connect with others. Plus, being so close to the beach is very important for us."
Kitchen dining area
Tastefully decorated with three seater sofa, table and chairs for 4 and modern kitchen. There is also a utility room with washing machine and drying machine.
Master bedroom
Double bed with large patio doors opening out to the terrace, with built-in wardrobes for plenty of storage. En suite bathroom.
Bedroom 2
Smaller space with double beds, also with built-in wardrobes. This has access to the master bathroom which essentially acts as the en-suite.
Where do we get the keys?
Most of the time, we will have given you the keys before you leave, and you’ll return them to us when you get back. In the unfortunate event that you leave the key inside, there is a small safe at the front door that requires a passkey. Please contact us for this key.

The ‘Uber’ app works here and taxis will come to our gate normally within 5-10 mins. From Duquesa town you can use the taxi rank there, and you can pay them with cards.

Ask for ‘Princess Kristina’ as all the drivers know that statue, which is just in front of our place ‘Pure South’.

Mercadona or Lidl in Sabinillas are probably the best, a 10 min drive. Eroski Supermarket is also good with a 6 min drive. Or if it's a Sunday, or late, or you just need bits Aldea Hills Shop is open all the time and 3 min drive or just about walkable. Click the links to go to these on Google Maps for opening times, directions etc.

No, not really. We have everything there. So iron, ironing board, towels etc.
-
Yes, kitchen includes electric hob, oven and microwave. Has kettle, toaster, dishwasher, fridge freezer and all pans, utensils etc needed
What do we do for cleaning etc?
We do not have a caretaker or cleaner at our apartment, so please tidy up and give it a good final clean before leaving.
Please strip the beds and, if possible, wash and dry the linens (this is feasible with an evening flight). Also, kindly make the beds again. If washing the linens isn’t possible, leave them in the laundry room so that the next guests or residents can wash them. DO NOT put wet towels or cleaning cloths in the laundry baskets to prevent mold. Hang them over the drying rack instead.
In the laundry room and under the kitchen sink, you can find all cleaning supplies, buckets, a vacuum cleaner (in the hallway closet), a mop, etc. If something is missing (or runs out), we would appreciate it if you could replenish it 😊.
There is a garden hose on the terrace for rinsing it off.
When using the outdoor shower, be sure to turn off both the shower tap and the outdoor tap after use."
I hope that helps! Let me know if you need any further assistance
