Piso Alboran, Retamar

Piso Alboran is a spacious apartment in Retamar, Spain, suited to travelers who want a calm base near the coast without giving up access to Almería’s sights. Set on Calle Francisco Piedra Cuadrado, it’s the kind of place guests describe as practical for day-to-day living, with air conditioning helping keep interiors comfortable when temperatures rise. Reviews commonly mention the outdoor setup as a highlight: the terrace and swimming pool make it easy to relax at your own pace, while the Japanese garden adds a quieter, more contemplative feel than you’d expect from a beach area. Non-smoking throughout is a plus for visitors sensitive to smells, and on-site self parking is available for those arriving by car, with offsite parking discounted rates also noted by guests.

For getting out and about, Playa Retamar is about 1 km away, so a morning swim or a late-afternoon stroll is straightforward. If you’re planning culture days, the Museum of Almería sits roughly 10 km from the property, and you can reach major landmarks like the Alcazaba of Almería and the Cathedral of Almería in about 11 km. Customer feedback also tends to emphasize the balance between relaxation and logistics: you can spend the day by the water, then drive into town when you want restaurants or museums.

Best for families and couples who want space, outdoor downtime, and an easy route to both beach time and Almería’s historic centre.
