Regional Comparison

Compared to 'Altura 160' in Benahavís (from €499,000), which likely offers a different property type or finishing standard, this duplex apartment, starting at €579,000, positions itself in a higher segment, possibly due to its size (235 m² vs. unknown) and the recent, complete renovation. 'Azurean Marbella' in Benahavís (from €707,972) is in a comparable price range but might be more modern or closer to the coast. 'Acqua Gardens' in Estepona (from €418,800) is significantly more affordable, but Estepona is closer to the coast, and project specifics (type, size, finish) may differ considerably. This particular project stands out due to its combination of a spacious, fully renovated duplex in an authentic Spanish village, with proximity to both nature and high-quality sports and culinary facilities.
