Owner profile
About the owner
I have been living in Benalmádena Costa now for nearly three years having decided to move over from Bishop's Stortford in Hertfordshire to be more 'hands-on' with the apartments that I manage. I currently look after 11 properties on the Costa del Sol, mostly for friends and family. In the UK, I worked for over 20 years as a
stage actor in the West End and on tour, mostly in musicals such as Les Misérables, Cats, Evita, Chess, The Rocky Horror Show. Here in Spain, apart from managing apartments, I am also a founder member of a singing group called Tres Divos, performing the songs of Il Divo, Andrea Bocelli, opera, musicals and more. Have a look at our website www.tresdivos.co.uk for more information.
Year purchased: 2003
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
I bought the studio in Minerva because of its popularity as a holiday location - the pools and gardens are among the most extensive in the whole region. I love the views from the balcony - you can see the sea, the mountains and even Benalmádena Pueblo - the old village perched on the hilltop. The studio offers low-priced accommodation in a great area, close to everything.
