Apartments in Murcia

If you are looking at apartments in Murcia, the first thing you should know is that there are 408 accommodations of this type available, with an average price of 132 euros per night and a minimum of 74. The offer is wide and varied, but it is worth choosing the area well depending on what you want to do. If your plan is the city, the best thing is to stay in the centre of Murcia capital, near the cathedral and the Malecón, where you can walk to almost everything and at night there is a lively atmosphere of bars and terraces. If what you are looking for is the beach, the coast of Mazarrón, Águilas or San Pedro del Pinatar gives you direct access to the Mediterranean, although in July and August prices rise and it is worth booking in advance. The middle option is the Valle de Ricote or the huerta area, such as Beniaján or Alcantarilla, where apartments are usually cheaper and you are twenty minutes by car from the capital.

The main difference between one area and another lies in the type of trip. On the coast you will find apartments more oriented to families, with a pool and near the promenade, but also more noise in high season. Inland, accommodations are usually quieter, with more outdoor space and more stable prices throughout the year. If you come in spring or autumn, which is when prices are best, you can take the opportunity to do hiking routes in Sierra Espuña or visit Caravaca de la Cruz without crowds. To get there, the most practical thing is the car: from Madrid it is about four hours along the A-3, and from Alicante barely an hour. If you come by plane, Corvera airport is twenty minutes from the capital, and from there you can rent a car or take a taxi, although public transport for getting around between towns is limited.

Before booking, check three things: the exact location of the apartment, because sometimes they advertise “Murcia” and in reality they are thirty kilometres away; the cancellation conditions, which vary a lot between owners; and whether the price includes final cleaning or supplements such as air conditioning or wifi. Real examples of what you can find are Apartamento Floridablanca, right in the centre, or Apartamentos HEY U, more modern; there are also options such as Apartamentos San Agustín or the Apartment La Huerta de Beniajan, which usually offers a 50 percent direct discount if you book in advance. On HotelsCasa you will see that in addition to the 408 apartments there are 52 villas, 34 holiday homes, 29 hotels, 4 bed and breakfast accommodations and 3 guest houses, in case you prefer another type. The average category of the apartments is 3.8 stars, so do not expect luxuries, but you can expect a correct and functional stay.
