Key differences between Penthouses, middle & ground floor apartments. What is best for my Holiday?
When it comes to property, there are key differences between penthouses, middle-floor apartments and ground-floor apartments. But what stands out in terms of design and benefits? Here we look at some of the distinguishing features between them.
A penthouse apartment is situated on the top storey of a building, while a flat on the middle floor is at a level between the highest and lowest floors. Lastly, a ground-floor dwelling is at the bottom storey.
Views from penthouses tend to be the most spectacular as they are located at the highest level of a building. Middle floor apartments may feature great views, depending on its position and the size of the building. Ground-floor dwellings can have less charming views, since they are usually set at street level.
With regards to privacy, Penthouses are definitely the way to go. They are located on the top floor, thus having fewer neighbours compared to apartments on other floors. On the other hand, ground-floor apartments may offer slightly less privacy as they are more visible and accessible to pedestrians and traffic. However, this all depends on whether they are overlooked.
Penthouses usually boast a large outdoor balcony or even a rooftop garden, giving these apartments plenty of outdoor space. Middle-floor dwellings may have smaller terraces or balconies, while ground floor apartments could come with their own private patio or garden.
Natural light is an important factor to consider when choosing an apartment. Upper-floor apartments often get the best of it and are not subjected to as much shade as those on the ground floor. Therefore, if sunlight is important for you, choose one of the higher levels!

Ground-floor apartments are more accessible than 2nd and higher floor units, as they require no stair climbing or elevator rides. This provides convenience for those with physical disabilities or who have difficulty with stairs. As you can see from the image below, choose the right garden apartment and you can trade the view for convenience and access to stunning grounds!

Comparing prices between different kinds of properties, it is evident that penthouses tend to be the most expensive due to their desirable locations, stunning views, and generous outdoor spaces. On the other hand, middle-floor apartments are generally more affordable than penthouses but can still provide good views and ample outdoor spaces. The advantage of choosing a ground-floor apartment is usually the cost. However, these places may have drawbacks like limited outlooks and decreased sunlight in comparison to higher floors. Obviously, that doesn’t apply in our example.
Your decision regarding renting a penthouse, middle-floor, or ground-floor apartment comes down to personal preferences and needs. Penthouses are typically the most extravagant and costly option whereas ground-floor apartments could be more accessible and easier to access. Ultimately, it all comes down to your lifestyle and budget. If you’re looking for a balance between convenience, budget and outdoor space, middle-floor apartments could be the perfect choice (if you have access to gardens). They offer great views and access to outdoor areas at prices that won’t burn a hole in your pocket.
Opting for a penthouse apartment for your break is unlikely to be the best option, if you are looking to save money. However, if you don’t have to worry about renting a car – particularly if your choice is conveniently located close to beach/attractions, you can offset that cost. Furthermore, having supermarkets and other amenities nearby makes car free self-catering more convenient than ever.
Should I Book My Holiday Apartment Directly? Does An Increase In Temperature Have To An Include An Increase In Cost?
Do Your Due Diligence
If you are considering booking your holiday directly, before settling on a local agent, it’s important to carry out some checks first. Look at their website and social media accounts to get an idea of how their clients view them, and pay special attention to any red flags like bad customer reviews and complaints. This will help ensure you’re dealing with a reliable and trustworthy company.
Obtain References
It’s always wise to get references from the local agent’s previous customers, as they will be able to provide you with feedback on the level of service and reliability. Also, it would be great if you could ask for the Tourist Registry Licence number (ours is listed on every holiday rental property) so that you can check its details online. You may also consider a video call visit if possible.
Written Confirmation
Prior to making any payments, it is essential to receive all the details of your reservation in writing. This includes the dates of stay, total cost, additional fees applicable and any unique needs or requests you may have. Doing this gives you an added layer of security in case there are any discrepancies or misunderstandings later on.
Secure Payment
To ensure your financial security and safety, always use secure payment methods such as credit card or PayPal when it comes to payments. This way, you are protected from any fraudulent activities or payment disputes. Whenever you do a bank transfer, be sure to add a detailed description of why you’re transferring money. Having this information in the record can help resolve any potential conflicts if they arise.
What Of The Cancellation Policies?
It is essential to take a look at the cancellation criteria of the local agent before finalising any booking. Check for any extra charges or fines that may occur if you have to cancel or adjust your reservation.
Cover Yourself
Travel insurance is always recommended in order to be protected from unforeseen circumstances such as cancellations, flight delays or other issues. It’s a wise choice that can save you money and stress in the long run.
Communicating With The Local Managing Agent
Maintain contact with your local agent before and during your trip. This will help to keep the process running smoothly and provide a swift response to any queries or problems that may arise. They should be easy to access, so you can easily arrange your arrival and departure times. For credibility checks, the holiday property will have a licence number displayed on the listing.
