Year round Community garden and pool. Air conditioning/heating throughout. Plus high speed fibre optic internet/wifi.

THINGS TO DO: Down on the beach there are water sports from kayaks and pedalos, to parasailing. Or enjoy a wood-fired paella at the “chiringuito” restaurants on Burriana beach. Take the kids to visit the famous Nerja Caves, or the pirate tower at Maro just down the coast! Wander the streets of Nerja, a typical Andalusian town and enjoy the atmosphere. Browse the Tuesday street market. Or Visit the Moorish fortification at nearby Almuñecar and Salobreña. More for the kids? Sea Life, the Selwo Dolphin show & Tivoli World, all at a drivable distance in Benalmadena; the water slide park at Velez Malaga, and even a crocodile farm. Tired yet? How about a day with a good book on the apartment rooftop's sun loungers.

Super apartment in great location for the town and beach

We had a brilliant week in Nerja. The apartment was great, very spacious, the most stunning sea view and very well equipped. We had three generations staying and all were well catered for. The toys kept the kids well occupied between trips to the beach and pool and the kitchen/bbq facilities allowed us to cook some great food. The location is great for the beach, a short walk down the steps to the lovely fine pebble beach. The water is perfectly clear and we swam and snorkelled every day. The beach umbrellas provided were a great addition in the august sun. The pool was lovely, clean and warm. There was always loungers and plenty of shade provided by the trees if needed. The Balcon de Europa is about a 10 minute walk providing many options for shopping and restaurants. We thoroughly recommend this apartment and the hosts were very helpful.

Great location

We loved our stay because the apartment location was excellent, the view was outstanding and every bedroom had air-conditioning. Nerja itself is a lovely town with an abundance of restaurants shops and beaches. The host was excellent and answered any queries we had. I would highly recommend this apartment and Nerja.

Wonderful apartment with the most beautiful sea view

During a family trip in May/June 2023, we stayed in Nora and Tim's apartment. We had a wonderful vacation and would highly recommend it. In addition to being in a prime location just above Carabeillo and Burriana beaches, it is also close to Balcon de Europa and the town center with its narrow streets, beautiful shops, and excellent restaurants. There are four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two living rooms in this clean and spacious apartment. It also has a big roof terrace and a balcony with fabulous sea views. Nora and Tim are the best hosts, they answered all our questions and even arranged a taxi for us from the airport. We would love to stay with Tim and Nora again.

Fantastic spacious apartment with great views

We were a party of seven (age range 12 to 70's), the apartment was fantastic and so spacious and It must have one of the best veiws in Nerja! It is also in my opinion perfectly placed as it is roughly the same distance to walk to either the older part of town or the main beach area, both have great restarants. Nerja has some fabulous places to eat and we always had great food. There is plenty of watersports from pedalos to para-sailing. The guys in our group went for a quad bike tour one morning and really enjoyed it. The Nerja caves are worth a visit (best to book in advance) and are just a bus ride away. Tim and Nora organised everything very efficiently and all went perfectly. Thank you so much. Jackie, Andy and family

About the host

Hosted by Nora Tory-Pratt or Tim Tory

3L was born from a dream in the late 60’s, when I put my Canadian architecture career on hold to pursue my love of songwriting in Spain. Ultimately I returned to Canada and to architecture but I had fallen deeply in love with the south of Spain. Nora (a documentary director) and I returned years later to create a place where we could raise our 2 sons. For 14 years, we spent 6 months a year in Nerja, with our boys attending local Spanish schools. We rented out 3L each time we returned to Canada. Over time we have developed lasting connections with the local community.

Why they chose this property

Tim toured the Costa del Sol coast from Valencia to Estepona before finding this very special property in a pretty little coastal town. Our kids love the hiking in the surrounding countryside. The proximity of the beach. And the fact that in winter, you can be up on the ski slopes of the Sierra Nevadas in less than 2 hours. As parents, we love the spaciousness of the place that offers any family group, both personal breathing room, and a variety of wonderful places to gather in. We still sit over breakfast on the front terrace over breakfast looking out over the sea and along the dramatic coastline and marvel at how we found such a place!

What makes this property unique

Make no mistake. This is a family home, equipped well beyond a holiday retreat. Clients frequently comment that the spaces are generous beyond what the photographs suggest. And that the apartment "far exceeds their expectations." As for the view, it is no accident that the Spanish tourism board chose the view of the beach from the west end of Tuhillo's garden to feature in an international Spanish Tourism Campaign a few years ago. (See photo from the campaign included in photos for this listing.) We have a true love of the Nerja area and will do everything we can to help you get the most out of your vacation.
