Treat yourself to extra space by staying in our unique 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment with huge wrap-around terrace (165 sqm internal with 85 sqm terrace) - the largest apartment of the 3,300 apartments on Condado de Alhama. This was originally 2 adjoining apartments (a 3 bed and a 2 bed both built in 2009) until 2013 when they were converted into one apartment. A plan of the layout, all on one level, is available to view in the photo gallery (click on the zoom magnifying glass to see in full). Both apartments have retained their kitchens so the 2 bed is similar to a self-contained extension. We are registered with, and have been inspected by, the Murcia Tourist Board - a process all holiday accommodation providers should go through.
