by Most new-build villas on this coast are sold twice: once as a render, and again two years later when the buyer finally sees what they bought. This one is at the stage in between, which is the interesting part. The structure is finished, and the buyer can still decide what goes into it.

The stage it is at
The structure is complete. According to the brief, that leaves the buyer able to choose materials, finishes and — within the limits of the building licence — make layout adjustments. In practice this is the point where a villa purchase becomes a small construction project: the shell is fixed, the surface is not.
That is worth real money to some buyers and a nuisance to others. If you have strong opinions about kitchens, stone, joinery and lighting, this is a rare chance to get them without paying for a full custom build. If you want to arrive with a suitcase, it is not that.
The layout
Four bedrooms and five bathrooms over three levels, on a plot of 435 m² with a private pool and garden, parking for two cars, aerothermal heating and home automation.
- Upper floor: two bedrooms, both en suite, both with a private terrace.
- Ground floor: living and dining area with open-plan kitchen, guest toilet, and direct access to the terrace, garden and pool.
- Basement: a bedroom with en-suite bathroom and private patio, a multifunctional room of 51 m², a further room of 7 m² suitable as an office or storage, an additional toilet, machine room and pantry.
The basement is the reason this reads bigger than 312 m². It also explains how four bedrooms and five bathrooms fit on a 435 m² plot: roughly half the accommodation is below ground, which is normal here and worth understanding before you view, because a basement bedroom with a patio is a different thing from a bedroom with a window.
What to check before you commit
The price is for a villa at a certain specification. The moment you are invited to choose materials, the question becomes what the €2,499,000 actually includes and what is charged as an upgrade. Get two documents: the specification the price is based on, and an itemised budget for the finishes you would want. Then add a contingency, because a shell that is complete is not a house that is finished.
- Exactly which works remain, who carries them out, and on what timetable.
- What the licence permits in terms of layout changes — and what it does not.
- Ten-year structural guarantee and the constructor’s insurance.
- Whether the 2026 completion date is a contractual date or an intention.
- Plot boundaries and privacy: at 435 m², the neighbours are close.
- The 380 m² / 312 m² discrepancy in the brief — ask which figure is on the deed.
Who it suits
A buyer who wants a new villa within walking distance of the beach, does not want to wait two years for delivery, and is willing to spend a few months making decisions. It also suits someone who intends to add value through specification rather than through extension. It does not suit a buyer who wants a finished, furnished house and a fixed final number.
