Costafiore Gardens FASE I

The apartments run from 150 to 196 square metres of built space, with two or three bedrooms and terraces from 41 to 134 square metres. The penthouses get private pools on the terrace. The smaller layouts suit couples or small families who want generous living space and a big terrace. The larger ones work for families who need a third bedroom and still want room to spread out. Floor plans are open, with kitchens that flow into the living areas and sliding doors that make the terrace an extension of the indoors. Bathrooms have walk-in showers rather than baths or bidets, a layout that fits how Northern European buyers actually live.

Most apartments have sea views, and those on the north side look towards the mountains. The communal grounds include gardens and a pool. This is a gated scheme, so you trade some spontaneity for security and shared facilities.

The location works for families who want the beach close but still need schools, shops and a supermarket in easy reach. Golfers get regular access to courses without sitting in traffic. The proximity to Gibraltar Airport suits anyone crossing the border for work or flying back to Northern Europe often. The drawback is that you are not in the old town itself, so evenings out mean a short drive rather than a stroll.
