This three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is situated on the third floor of the Residencial Castiglione building within the Las Petunias urbanization in San Pedro de Alcántara, part of the municipality of Marbella. Built in 1985 and recently renovated, the property offers 135 m² of living space with a south-west orientation, a terrace, and sea views. The surrounding area is an established urban environment with shops, schools and services within walking distance, and the beaches of San Pedro approximately 1.5 km away. The asking price is €1,495,000. The building carries a first occupation licence and the community accounts are up to date.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in the Las Petunias urbanization, a consolidated residential area of San Pedro de Alcántara. A supermarket lies 321 m away, a pharmacy 112 m, and a hospital 1.8 km. The nearest beach, Playa de San Pedro, is roughly 1.6 km from the property. Puerto Deportivo José Banús marina is 3.4 km away, and Marbella town centre 10 km.
The layout comprises a fitted kitchen, a living-dining room, two bedrooms plus a third bedroom, two bathrooms and a terrace. Air conditioning and central heating are installed, and the south-west orientation provides afternoon and evening sun. A communal pool is available within the urbanization. The building is accessed via staircase 6 of Block M.
This is not a new-build project. The building dates from 1985 and the apartment is described as recently renovated and in good condition. Delivery is immediate, as the property is completed and, according to the listing, free of tenants and occupants. Completion dates are therefore not applicable; the transaction follows a standard resale process.
The property does not include a private pool, private garden or private parking listed among its features. It is a third-floor apartment in a building from 1985, without lift specification confirmed in the available data. The property is subject to a right-of-way easement (servidumbre de entrada). No garage, storage room or energy certificate rating is recorded in the available data.
This property fits several recognisable buyer situations. First, a household seeking a year-round residence rather than a holiday bolt-hole: the walkable services, year-round commerce and proximity to schools support permanent living. Second, a buyer who values renovation over construction risk: the apartment has been recently renovated within a 1985 building, avoiding the waiting periods and phased deliveries associated with off-plan purchases. Third, buyers prioritising the west Marbella position, San Pedro, Nueva Alcántara and Puerto Banús, over cheaper eastern or western alternatives, with golf courses such as Magna Marbella (2.4 km) and Real Club de Golf Las Brisas (2.8 km) within a short drive. Fourth, those who want sea views and a terrace without direct beachfront exposure, accepting a 1.5 km distance to the sand. The property is less suited to buyers requiring a private garden, private pool or in-building garage, none of which are listed. The right-of-way easement should also be verified by any buyer for whom unencumbered access matters. Households wanting a lift-serviced, modern building may wish to confirm the building's vertical access arrangements directly. In short, the profile matches a settled coastal lifestyle in a consolidated urban setting at a west-Marbella price point.
The apartment is recorded as recently renovated, in good and excellent condition. The available photography indicates a modern interior treatment: wood-fronted kitchen cabinetry integrated with the living area, a contemporary bathroom with a wooden vanity unit, and modern dining furniture around a round table. A dedicated desk nook with a white chair suggests a workspace has been incorporated into the layout, relevant for remote working households. Technical installations listed include air conditioning and central heating, providing climate control across both summer and the cooler winter months, a meaningful distinction from coastal apartments with cooling only. The building itself dates from 1985, which frames expectations: construction standards of that era in Spain differ from current regulations on insulation, glazing and energy performance, and the renovation appears to have modernised the interior rather than the building envelope. No energy performance certificate rating is provided in the available data, so prospective buyers should request this document. The community reports both ordinary and extraordinary fees as up to date, which indicates that building-level maintenance and any major works have been funded rather than deferred, a relevant signal in older communities where accumulated deferred maintenance can translate into future levies. The apartment carries a first occupation licence, and the community participation coefficient is 2.14%, entered via staircase 6 of Block M. Buyers should independently verify the scope of the renovation, the age of the climate systems and the condition of shared elements such as the pool and façade.
The asking price is €1,495,000 for a 135 m² apartment, equating to roughly €11,074 per square metre. This positions the property in the established resale segment of San Pedro de Alcántara rather than in the new-build market. For regional context, comparable new developments elsewhere on the coast are marketed from considerably lower starting prices, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000, though these differ in location, specification and vintage. Only one unit appears to be involved; availability is immediate given the completed status and absence of tenants.
Daily life around this apartment is shaped by its position inside a mature, fully built-up neighbourhood of San Pedro de Alcántara rather than by a resort-style setting. The immediate surroundings are urban: a supermarket just over 300 m away, a pharmacy around the corner, and 27 restaurants, 13 cafés and 11 banks within a two-kilometre radius. This density of everyday services means most errands can be done on foot or by bicycle, which is relatively uncommon for coastal Marbella locations that tend toward car dependency. The apartment itself functions as a conventional family-sized home: three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a living-dining room opening onto a terrace with a south-west aspect. Afternoon and early evening light falls on the terrace, which also carries views over the sea, the mountains and the urban surroundings. The communal pool serves as the property's swimming facility. The rhythm of the area follows the Spanish urban calendar: shops and cafés open year-round, schools operate on the standard academic year with 41 primary and 28 secondary schools in the wider area, and the town does not shut down outside the summer season. The beach is a short drive or a manageable walk of roughly 1.5 km, with a moderate 3.3% average slope toward the shore. San Pedro's centre, with its pedestrian boulevard and weekly market, sits within easy reach, while Puerto Banús and its marina are under four kilometres away for dining, boating and nightlife. The location suits a household that wants town conveniences, walkable services and coastal access without living in a gated or touristic enclave.
The surrounding environment is urban and consolidated. Within a two-kilometre radius the data records 27 restaurants, 13 cafés, 11 pharmacies, 11 banks and one school, alongside a hospital at 1.8 km. This concentration means daily life does not require a car: groceries, pharmacy, banking and dining are within walking or cycling distance. Public transport is available with 10 lines and 50 stops recorded in the area, connecting San Pedro with Marbella, Estepona and intermediate points. For recreation, the Polideportivo San Pedro sports centre lies 1.1 km away, a climbing facility (Rocodromo) at 0.7 km and the Apolo centre at 1.0 km. The neighbourhood's tourism profile is moderate, 52 hotels and roughly 12,800 beds in the wider area, meaning visitor pressure exists but is distributed across the town rather than concentrated at a single resort. Elevation is 53 m above sea level with a 3.3% average slope toward the beach, a gentle gradient by Costa del Sol standards. The area experiences 32 local public holidays per year, reflecting an active municipal calendar of ferias and traditions. Noise and activity levels correspond to a functioning Spanish town rather than a quiet residential enclave; buyers seeking silence should weigh the urban setting accordingly.
The map shows the apartment's position within the built-up fabric of San Pedro de Alcántara, between the town centre and the coast. The beachfront paseo, Puerto Banús to the east and the golf courses of Nueva Andalucía inland are all visible within a short radius. Marbella city lies 10 km east along the coast road.

The climate data for this location records an annual average temperature of 19.0°C with a monthly range of approximately 12–26°C, and a historically logged 3,856 sunshine hours per year, a figure that places it among the sunniest coastal zones of southern Europe. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, extends to roughly five months, typically May through October. The elevation of 53 m above sea level combined with a 3.3% average slope toward the beach means the walk to the shore involves a gentle but noticeable incline on the return. Winters are mild by northern European standards, though the central heating installed in the apartment reflects the reality that Andalusian coastal homes do experience cooler months, particularly in the evenings. The mountain views recorded from the property correspond to the Sierra de Ronda foothills visible inland from San Pedro, while the south-west orientation exposes the terrace to afternoon sun and, in clear conditions, evening light over the sea toward Gibraltar.

Within the western Costa del Sol, this property occupies a specific niche: an established, walkable town location at west-Marbella pricing, as opposed to the new-build resort developments that dominate current supply further along the coast. The listed comparable projects illustrate the regional spread. Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950) sits on the eastern Costa del Sol near Vélez-Málaga, roughly an hour's drive from Marbella, in a market with lower price levels and a more Spanish domestic buyer base. Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) sits mid-coast between Fuengirola and Marbella, offering new construction at substantially lower entry prices but in a less consolidated immediate setting. Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000) represents the new-build wave on the western coast, where undeveloped land has allowed larger contemporary schemes with pools, gyms and parking, amenities this 1985 property partly matches through its communal pool but does not fully replicate. The distinction is therefore structural: at €1,495,000 for 135 m² (roughly €11,100 per m²), this apartment competes on location maturity and livability rather than on facilities or specification. San Pedro de Alcántara itself has been one of the more stable sub-markets of the Marbella municipality: 4,743 property transactions are recorded for the area, supported by year-round commerce, 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the surrounding zone, and five health centres. Proximity to Puerto Banús (3.4 km) and the Nueva Andalucía golf valley places it within the price basin of west Marbella. Buyers comparing this property against new-build alternatives are effectively trading modern building standards and included parking for walkable town living, sea views from a third floor, and immediate availability without phased delivery risk. The dual airport access, Málaga at 48 km and Gibraltar at 49 km straight-line, is a geographic advantage specific to this stretch of the coast and relevant for international owners travelling from different hubs.
