A gate opens into a terraced front garden, offering low maintenance outdoor space. To the right of the covered terrace, the sellers have added a handy enclosed storage room.

On entering the apartment, we are greeted by a spacious living/dining room fitted with brand new hot and cold air conditioning equipment. Adjacent to the living room is the kitchen, with granite worktops and fully fitted with all appliances. A handy utility room extends from the kitchen and provides access to the generously sized rear garden, which enjoys abundant afternoon sunshine. The rear garden is also accessible via the lounge/dining room.

To the left of the kitchen is the master bedroom, which is incredibly spacious and features fitted wardrobes and a recently renovated en-suite bathroom. On the opposite side of the living room, a small hallway leads to the main family bathroom on the right and the second double bedroom, which also includes fitted wardrobes, on the left.

The Al-Andalus Thalassa complex was awarded Best Real Estate Development in the Province of Almeria at the BBVA Spanish Real Estate Awards in 2006, and it is easy to see why.
