About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom apartment with beachfront position in San Pedro de Alcántara, Costa del Sol. The private 40sqm garden extends directly from the ground-floor terrace, creating an outdoor room framed by mature tropical planting where the Mediterranean sits just beyond the complex boundary. Inside, the open-plan living and dining area centres on a working fireplace and connects to the garden through full-width sliding glass doors.
The 177sqm layout spans two levels and includes a separate fully equipped kitchen with utility room, three bathrooms, and four double bedrooms distributed to give each sleeping space separation from the others. The master suite occupies its own section of the upper floor with an en-suite bathroom and access to a private terrace that overlooks the gardens. Each bedroom comes fully furnished, and integrated storage runs along multiple walls throughout the apartment. One underground parking space is included in the sale.
Castiglione sits on the beachfront in San Pedro de Alcántara with direct pedestrian access to the sand and a residents' pool set within landscaped communal gardens. The complex is 400 metres west of San Pedro's beach promenade, which connects to Puerto Banús marina in a 20-minute walk along the shore. The apartment's ground-floor position means the garden receives morning sun year-round, and the terrace remains usable even during the cooler months when the fireplace adds warmth to the indoor living space.

9 questions answered
Buying this apartment in San Pedro de Alcántara
Can foreigners buy property in San Pedro de Alcántara?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in San Pedro de Alcántara. You will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) before signing the title deed, plus a Spanish bank account for the transfer. The full purchase typically completes 6 to 10 weeks from signing the reservation contract.
What is an NIE and how do I get one?
The NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is your Spanish tax ID and is mandatory for buying property, opening a bank account or paying taxes. You can apply at a Spanish consulate in your home country or in person in Spain. Your lawyer can also obtain it on your behalf with a power of attorney, typically 2 to 4 weeks.
Do I need a Spanish lawyer?
Strongly recommended. An independent lawyer (abogado), separate from the agent and seller, verifies title, checks for debts and planning issues, drafts contracts and represents you at the notary. Typical fee is 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, with a minimum around €1,500.
How long does completion take?
From accepted offer to keys: 6 to 10 weeks for a resale, 30 to 45 days from reservation if no mortgage is needed. New-build off-plan completes when the development is delivered, often 18 to 36 months after reservation, with staged payments along the way.
What taxes will I pay buying a property in San Pedro de Alcántara?
Resale property in Andalucía: ITP (transfer tax) at 7%. New-build: 10% IVA + 1.2% AJD (stamp duty). Plus notary, land registry and legal fees of roughly 1 to 2%. Budget 10 to 13% on top of the asking price for total acquisition costs.
What ongoing costs should I expect?
Annual IBI (council tax) is typically 0.4 to 1.1% of cadastral value. Community fees on apartments and gated villas range €100 to €600/month depending on amenities. Non-resident owners pay an annual income tax based on cadastral value, plus utilities and home insurance.
Are agent fees paid by the buyer or seller?
In Spain the seller pays the agent commission (typically 3 to 6% + VAT), already baked into the asking price. Buyers do not pay agent fees on resale or new-build.
Can non-residents get a Spanish mortgage?
Yes. Spanish banks lend to non-residents at typical LTVs of 60 to 70% of the lower of purchase price or valuation (vs 80% for residents). Rates are competitive with the rest of the eurozone. You will need 6 months of bank statements, tax returns and proof of income, pre-approval takes 2 to 4 weeks.
Should I get pre-approval before viewing?
Recommended for serious buyers. A mortgage in principle confirms your budget, signals credibility to sellers and shortens completion. We can introduce you to specialist non-resident mortgage brokers familiar with the local market.
