Hotel Sotogrande or maybe there is a better option

Hotel Sotogrande or maybe there is a better option ?

A growing number of people seem to be renting apartments and villas on long term contracts simply to visit Sotogrande for holidays. A trend is materialising where two families share a rental property for 12 months visiting in half terms, end of terms, easter, summer and christmas.

Last year friends of mine from Poole Dorset visited Sotogrande for a total of 42 days and for the family of 5 they calculated a hotel cost of 18.000,00 euros. The same family this year have rented a 4 bedroom penthouse apartment for 1650 per month and intend to share the vacation home with another family they know well resulting in a rent to pay of 9.900,00 euros per family for the year. The families will not visit together and will divide the years holidays up in advance. The additional costs are the electricity water internet and sky tv again all bills split between them become pretty insignificant. The apartment they rented is modern beautifully furnished and has great golf views close to the golf academy and driving range. Photo Los Gazules gated community by Almenara golf.

There has since then been several more rentals on similar basis which includes Villas and Town Houses. Interestingly most have been to families mad on golfer or sailing. Here is a link to a Los Gazules penthouse currently on the market this one is a 2 bedroom but we also listing a duplex 4 bedroom Link Gazules

This development comprises of a series of apartment blocks set in beautiful landscaped grounds amidst lawns rockeries park-land and water features. Once inside the manned security gate drive directly to your apartment block and straight into the basement garage. Penthouse apartments have a lift key that takes you straight into the apartment.

Valgrande comprises of 2,3 & 4 bedroom apartments beautifully tiled throughout with underfloor water heated central heating systems as well hot cold airconditioning. For those wanting something very special we have available an apartment where One owner bought 2 of the 3 bedroom apartments off plan and incorporated both to create a very unique 6 bedroom home. The best feature for me of this development is the alfresco aspect with large terrace balconies and undercover areas where owners create stunning outdoor lounge and dining space.

Apartments have a variety of outlooks depending where you are within the developments. Families often go for properties overlooking the beautiful free-form outdoor pool's, golfers may like the views towards San Roque golf resort. In phase one of the complex many have tranquil parkland views.

The development has some wonderful facilities including the indoor heated swimming pool and spa, a gymnasium, steam room, sauna,a padel tennis court and a golf putting area. For those not so keen to get fit you can stroll around the complex, follow the stream through the gardens to the natural pond area or take the external trail and take a leisurely stroll around the entire development.

Valgrande is located in Sotogrande Alto with its entrance directly opposite the Valderrama golf club home of the Ryder Cup 1997. The Sotogrande international school is 5 minutes drive and there are 7 golf clubs locallly all within 10 minutes drive. Sotogrande port and the beach approximately 4kms away. The developer has no apartments in Valgrande to sell. The development is well established with a good community a mixture of expats and Spanish some living here permanently others who spend time between their home country and Spain. For me Valgrande is the upmarket development of Sotogrande and offers far more facilities.
