We're Bianca and Omèr, and we know the homes between Estepona and Sotogrande inside out. We know Casares del Sol and Casares Golf street by street: which blocks face the golf, which catch the sea breeze off Playa Ancha, and which are priced for a quick sale rather than a fair one. We'll always tell you straight.
“They found us a frontline villa that wasn't even on the open market. Smooth, honest.”
“Three viewings, no pressure, sound advice on schools. Best agency on the coast.”
“Bianca speaks Dutch, knew our notary, and introduced us to other Dutch families nearby.”
On a low-rise estate like this — terracotta blocks, nothing above the second floor, only a small share of the plot built on — the ground floor is the layout people come back for. You step from the living room straight onto a covered porch and a walled garden of your own, rather than sharing a communal terrace overhead. Most run to two bedrooms and two bathrooms across a comfortable interior, with a handful of three-bedroom corner homes; built sizes generally sit a little over 100 square metres before you count the porch and garden, and parking and a storeroom usually come with them.
These homes suit a particular buyer: families who want the children and the dog out of a doorway rather than a balcony, and retired couples who would rather not manage stairs or wait on a lift. The garden is the trade-off to weigh honestly — it gives you outdoor dining and morning sun by the pool lawns, but the better ones face away from passing footfall and hold their afternoon light. As a guide, ground-floor apartments here typically run in a band from the high 200,000s into the 400,000s, with the larger or best-positioned homes reaching higher, and we'll always tell you which ones are priced ahead of what their aspect and garden actually deliver.
This is the green, unhurried end of the Costa del Sol — the Casares Costa, west of Estepona, where the coastline opens up and the building heights drop. Casares del Sol and the surrounding Casares Golf community were laid out in traditional Andalusian style, terracotta roofs and nothing above a couple of storeys, wrapped around communal pools and tropical gardens. The nine-hole Casares Golf course gives the area its name and its rhythm, and the Finca Cortesín estate, host of the 2023 Solheim Cup, sits just up the road. It feels a world away from the busier resort strips, yet Puerto Banús is under half an hour by car.
The mix here is genuinely international and relaxed: Northern European second-home owners — British, Scandinavian, Belgian and Dutch in particular — alongside a steady core of permanent residents who've decided this calmer corner suits them better than the bustle around Marbella. Golfers come for the course on the doorstep; families and retirees come for space, gardens and sea air without resort-town prices. A fair number of owners let their homes to holidaymakers and winter golfers, so there is a sensible buy-to-let case too. What you won't find is a party crowd — evenings here are a glass of wine on the terrace, not a night out in Banús.
Villas dominate the picture across Casares Golf and Casares del Sol — generally detached or semi-detached homes with private plots, pools and golf or sea views — and they set the tone for the area. Beneath them sits a healthy run of apartments and penthouses, the penthouses often carrying the rooftop solariums this part of the coast does so well, plus ground-floor apartments and ground-floor duplexes that open straight onto a garden terrace, ideal if you'd rather skip stairs and lifts. The look is consistent and traditional: terracotta roofs, whitewashed walls, marble or tiled floors, fitted wardrobes and generous terraces, set in gated, well-tended communities with pools, lawns and, in many cases, gym and security. Build quality is solid, and because nothing is high-rise, the developments keep their light and their privacy.
The Casares Costa offers some of the better value on this side of the Costa del Sol, which is a large part of its appeal. As a rough guide, two- and three-bedroom apartments and ground-floor homes typically run from the low-to-mid €200,000s up towards the €400,000s, depending on size, condition and view, with penthouses carrying a premium for that roof terrace. Villas span a much wider band — from roughly the high €400,000s for something modest into the low millions for the larger golf-front or sea-view homes — and the very top end near Finca Cortesín reaches well beyond that. Those are typical ranges, not a promise, and some homes here do come to market over-priced; we'll always tell you which ones and why before you fall for the view.
The Blue Flag beaches of the Casares Costa are roughly a kilometre and a half away — close enough to walk on a good day — with the La Sal chiringuito and Playa Ancha for long sandy strolls and a seafood lunch. Sabinillas and the marina at La Duquesa are about five minutes by car for restaurants, shops and a weekly market, while Estepona town, with its old quarter, is around ten kilometres east. Golf is everywhere: Casares Golf and Doña Julia on the doorstep, Finca Cortesín and the Sotogrande courses a short drive on. And the historic white village of Casares itself, with its hilltop castle and plaza, is fifteen minutes up into the Sierra Bermeja.
For families, the international schools sit in the surrounding towns rather than the village itself, with options around Estepona and San Pedro and the well-regarded Sotogrande International School all within a manageable run. The L-77 bus links Casares with Manilva, Sabinillas, Estepona, San Pedro and Marbella. Gibraltar airport is around thirty minutes by car for European flights, and Málaga airport sits about an hour east on the AP-7.
We treat this corner of the coast as home, not just a postcode on a portal, so when we walk you round a Casares Golf villa or a Casares del Sol penthouse we'll point out the things the brochure won't: the orientation, the community fees, which phase has the best gardens and which terraces get the afternoon sun rather than the wind off the water. We sell honestly — if a home is asking too much, or the view it's priced for disappears the day the next plot is built on, you'll hear it from us first. Twenty years here means we know the lawyers, the surveyors and the community administrators worth trusting, and we'll stay alongside you long after the keys change hands. If you're weighing up a move to the Casares Costa and want a straight, local opinion on what's really worth buying, drop us a line.
Most ground floor apartments here are two-bedroom, two-bathroom homes of a little over 100 square metres, opening through sliding doors to a covered porch and a private walled garden, with allocated parking and a storeroom. A smaller number are three-bedroom corner units. The estate is gated and low-rise, set in tropical gardens with a swimming pool in each phase, a short walk from Casares beach and beside the Casares Golf course.
As a typical guide, ground floor apartments in Casares del Sol - Casares Golf generally run in a band from the high 200,000s of euros into the 400,000s. Price turns mainly on the size of the private garden, the orientation, the bedroom count and the condition of the home, so a well-positioned south-facing garden flat sits at the upper end while an interior-facing two-bed sits lower.
They appeal most to families and to retired couples who want level access with no lift or stairs, and a private garden the children or a dog can use directly. They also work as holiday homes and rentals, given the beach, the golf and the year-round Costa del Sol climate. The point to weigh is the garden's aspect and privacy: the homes that face away from communal paths and hold their afternoon sun are the ones worth paying for.
It sits on the Casares Costa in the municipality of Casares, Málaga province, on the western Costa del Sol. The community lies just inland of the coast road between Estepona (about 10km east) and Manilva, beside the nine-hole Casares Golf course and a short drive from the Finca Cortesín estate. The historic white village of Casares is about 15 minutes up into the hills, and the beach is roughly 1.5km away.

Sabinillas and La Duquesa marina are about five minutes away for dining and shops.
Gibraltar airport is around 30 minutes by car and Málaga airport about an hour via the AP-7 motorway. The L-77 bus connects Casares with Manilva, Sabinillas, Estepona, San Pedro and Marbella. International schools are in the surrounding towns rather than the village, with options around Estepona and San Pedro and the well-regarded Sotogrande International School all within a reasonable drive.
