Rust en Luxe in Estepona The Residence

We had a wonderful two-week stay at The Residence and would happily return. The apartment is modern, spacious and very well equipped. The large terrace became our second living room – we spent every morning having breakfast there and every evening relaxing together. The kitchen is modern, the interior feels fresh and tasteful, and the whole complex gives the impression of a premium residential community rather than a typical holiday apartment. Overall, it offers excellent value for money. The only thing future guests should keep in mind is the location. The beach is about a 30-minute walk away. While this is pleasant early in the mornin, during the hot summer afternoons and even evenings it feels much longer because of the heat. We found having a car almost essential for going to the beach, restaurants and supermarkets.

A few small improvements could make the apartment feel even more luxurious: * The terrace would benefit from warm ambient lighting. In the evenings we preferred sitting in the dark because the existing lighting felt quite harsh and the wicker lamps created shadows instead of a soft, cosy atmosphere. * The building is still relatively new, but the exposed concrete on the terrace ceiling is already peeling in places and would benefit from refinishing. * Replacing the inexpensive artificial plants with higher-quality ones would make the terrace feel much more elegant and inviting. These are only minor details. Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a peaceful, stylish base to explore the Costa del Sol.
