Ideally situated a couple of kilometres from the town of Calasparra. with superb mountain views. Roof top solarium provides a great private space with table, chairs, sun loungers and BBQ. Large pool on the complex and a couple of bars and restaurants. Try the Moroccan bar for something a bit different and highly recommend a meal at Andalus roof top restaurant.
