With two dining areas, a sprawling tropical garden and a private plunge pool boasting panoramic views of the mountains above and the shimmering sea below, this contemporary villa is perfect for families or groups of friends looking to lie back and unwind. 

Upon entry, you'll immediately notice the high-end touch that's been given to this bright space – from the modern fireplace to the sleek workstation, wooden dining table and hemp furnishings. Natural light pours in throughout the day, thanks to the slick wall of glass, creating light and airy interiors. Whether you're gathering for a group feast, relaxing with a glass of Spanish wine on the sofa, or keeping one eye on work back home, the apartment caters to all your needs.

There are three sumptuous bedrooms, two stylish bathrooms and even a fitness room, complete with a ping-pong table for competitive evenings in together – but summer in Costa Tropical is best lived outdoors, and at this particular villa, you'll find a beautifully-kept private garden and a covered terrace for idyllic outside living. 

After a quick lunch, pack your seaside essentials and take the five-minute drive to Playa Granada for a fun-filled day of sand, sea and surf. Having worked up an appetite, we recommend you head into the lively town of Motril for a bite to eat, less than ten minutes away by car.

This postcard-perfect home is quietly tucked away in the outskirts of Salobreña. It's quintessentially Spanish, with a terracotta-tiled roof, stone floors and wooden beamed ceilings, but the interior also plays tribute to Moorish design, with its ornate mosaic tiles and lanterns. The top-floor terrace enjoys views out towards a sparkling sea – we think a vista like this is best enjoyed with a plate of delicious food and something cold in had, so fire up your personal barbecue for a relaxed evening in. Come daytime, make use of your tranquil setting and relax in the classically styled Mediterranean garden, taking in the scents of the citrus trees and bougainvillaea. Salobreña is located at the southern tip of Spain, just an hour's drive from Granada, where you'll find a melting pot of African and European influences. Closer to home, make sure you pay a visit to the eye-catching, tenth-century Moorish castle, Castillo de Salobreña.

Citrus Sour

Bright and welcoming, this villa makes the perfect escape for families and friends looking for a break in the Spanish sunshine. The balcony immediately calls to you, tempting you outside with spectacular vistas of the sparkling Spanish coast. With a large family-style dining table, you can enjoy this space for breakfast, lunch and dinner – and don't forget those evening sundowners. Inside, the easy-on-the-eye styling will feel relaxing and cool after a day spent in the sunshine. Downstairs, the shared pool glitters invitingly. You'll have to drag yourself away from those magnificent sea views to explore the surrounding area, where you'll find cafes, restaurants and La Herradura beach all within 10 minutes' walk.

Looking out over the rugged cliffs to the sparkling sea, this terraced villa is on the edge of the coastal town of Herradura. Here you’ll find a sheltered bay for days at the beach (700 metres away), and plenty of cafés and restaurants serving tapas and fresh seafood. It’s a fifteen-minute drive along the coast to the centre of Almuñécar, whose picture-perfect Old Town is filled with boutiques and restaurants spilling out into the cobbled streets. Return to the private terrace of your villa, with beautiful views over the sea all the way to the horizon. Enjoy a tapas feast of your own at the outdoor dining table or settle in on the shaded sofa for a sundowner at the end of the day. Inside, raw wood and black furnishing combine to create a Japanese-zen-like feel to the open-plan living room. The sleek, modern kitchen has everything you need for self-catering and the second bedroom has its own sea view from the window. If you want to cool off from the southern Spanish sun, there's a shared pool with a simply stunning ocean view too.

Fenced Property

Formed by fresh, green grass and encompassed by the striking mountainside, this is one of the most beautiful gardens in Andalusia. Sun-soaked and secluded, it's the type of garden that makes you feel like you're the only people in the region. 

Start your days lounging on the sun beds, taking in the warm rays of the sun and cooling off in the crisp, water in the pool. When you're feeling peckish, rustle up some tasty plates of tapas and gather around the cute table under the veranda. There's also a BBQ if you fancied some crispy chorizo or grilled vegetables. 

Inside the home, you'll find an understated living space. A neutral colour palette and minimalist design creates a cosy atmosphere to relax, whether that's by chilling on the sofas or sipping a cup of coffee at the breakfast bar.

On the days where you want to explore the region, you're just a few minutes from the charming town of Orgiva. Here, you'll find authentic restaurants, cosy cafes and a selection of unique stores.

A rustic home steeped in Andalusian charm, this place is perfect for couples and small families planning a relaxing getaway to the Spanish countryside. Whether you’re here for the climate or simply to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this Mediterranean bungalow has got you covered, nestled deep in the heart of a valley at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. 

Start your day with a café con leche on the porch, then slip into your swimming costume and beat the heat with a refreshing dip in the outdoor pool. You’ll catch a glimpse of the mountains here, but if you want to get a closer look, there are plenty of hiking trails to discover nearby so why not set off for an afternoon ramble with your fellow guests? Don’t worry – this place isn’t going anywhere. 

Later, when you’ve had your fill of being out and about, your rustic abode will be waiting to welcome you back, boasting a wealth of home comforts that’ll feel like a dream come true after a busy day of hiking. Savour a glass of wine on the living room sofa then whip up a quick evening meal to tuck into at the patio table. Then when the sun has long disappeared behind the garden’s olive trees, head to bed and let the sounds of the countryside lull you to sleep. 

Into the Valley

Outdoor Shower

Nestled in the picturesque Tíjola Valley, with the Sierra Nevada mountains behind and the rolling hills of the Sierra de Lújar in front, this location is hard to beat when it comes to tranquillity and stunning views. You'll be completely undisturbed here, and although you'll need to hire a car to get around, the nearest beach of Costa Tropical lies just a thirty-minute drive away, with the charming town of Órgiva 3.5 kilometres from the house. Inside, the decor is a little dated, but we reckon most of your time will be spent outside, exploring the area or lounging by the fenced private pool. There's also a dining terrace equipped with a barbecue, so you can enjoy alfresco suppers long into the endless summer evenings.

Planning a luxurious trip? A short drive from Marbella, this sea-facing home offers extra services to make your holiday memorable. Though the poolside seating and outdoor dining options are fantastic, we love the amenities downstairs. There's a gym, a conference room, a private bar and pool and poker tables – it goes without saying that you'll have everything you need. While one of the en-suites lacks privacy, shy showerers can always hop into another bathroom. We recommend a car to explore the coast, though Calahonda Beach and a golf course sit on your doorstep.

Set on a hilltop overlooking the sea, this home in Almuñécar on the Costa Tropical is a peaceful, secluded hideaway. Dazzlingly white against the green, craggy hills, it feels like a private resort with its large outdoor patio and cool, kidney-shaped pool. Inside, a muted palette, exposed beams and wooden furnishings create a warm and traditional feel in the living room and bedrooms while outside, sunny rest and relaxation await. Spend your day taking dips in the pool or lounging on the deck chairs beneath the palm umbrella. Or, hop in your car for a 10-minute drive to Almuñécar’s centre and San Cristóbal beach. After a day spent soaking up the panoramic sea views from your private oasis or adventuring to the coast, come back for cocktails on the patio followed by a barbecue dinner beneath the stars.

Occupying an enviable position on the Granada coast, this unique coastal sanctuary has been designed to inspire optimum comfort and relaxation. From the heated saltwater pool and peaceful terrace to the incredible sea views, this is the perfect setting for a refreshing retreat. It’s also well suited to families with plenty to explore in the surroundings. The nearest beach is just 5-kilometres away, while the close proximity to the Sierra Nevada means its a great spot for adventure lovers.

The Dragon House

Nestled in the hillside overlooking Maro and Cerro Gordo, this villa offers glimpses of the scenic landscape, providing a tranquil setting for a family or group of friends. There’s a swimming pool and trampoline to keep the little ones entertained, and the fully-equipped kitchen and barbecue area mean mealtimes are a cinch. Due to the rural location, a car is essential here, though Cañuelo Beach is only 2 kilometres away and it’s a short drive into the heart of Nerja.

Under the soft gaze of the surrounding mountains, this whitewashed home shines with the beauty of southern Spain. 

Just a short drive from the town of Alhama de Granada, the rustic charm of this setting feels instantly welcoming. From the spectacular views and traditional interiors to the luxurious garden, swimming pool and tennis court, every detail inspires a wonderful sense of relaxation. So whether you’re here for a rural retreat or an active adventure, it’s easy to connect with the natural abundance of this location. 

Inside, you’ll find ample space for relaxing and spending quality time together – the dining table lends itself perfectly to intimate candlelit dinners while cosy evenings can be spent by the fire. Outside, the garden welcomes you to enjoy the restorative power of this unique setting. From refreshing dips in the swimming pool to long soaks in jacuzzi, you’ll find yourself refreshed and ready to explore. 

Days can be spent hiking across the spectacular Sierra Nevada mountains trails, sightseeing and exploring the beautiful villages and towns of the region – the majestic city of Granada is less than an hour’s drive away.

Swedish design meets traditional Spanish architecture at this gorgeous Andalusian apartment we found hidden away in the heart of Nerja. 

Inside and outside blend into one here thanks to elegant floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the stylish living room in natural light. Sink into the plush sofa and while away the afternoon in front of the TV or head out to your private terrace to soak up gorgeous views of the Mediterranean.  If you’re here for sun, surf, and sand, you’re in luck. Not only will you be within easy walking distance of the nearest beach, but you’ll have unlimited access to the resort’s communal swimming pool, perfect for cooling off when temperatures reach their peak.

Whether you’re travelling with family or friends, you’ll find something for everyone to enjoy here. Lose yourself down the pebbled streets of Nerja’s old town or set off for a day of hiking along the Chíllar River, a short cab ride away. With a whole host of attractions and beautiful landscapes at your fingertips, we wouldn’t blame you if you never wanted to leave.

We never underestimate the power of a killer view. Which is precisely why this blissfully secluded Finca perched high in the valley above the coast of Nerja caught our eye.

Perfectly designed for alfresco living, the vast south-facing terrace is the spot to drink up those sea and mountain vistas (preferably with a glass of something chilled in hand). As is that cool, blue pool with an outdoor shower to beat the heat. And just imagine this place at sunset as you fire up the barbecue – that’s a memory made right there.

Inside, while the interiors aren’t winning any design gongs soon, everywhere feels beautifully cared for and charming. Cool, terracotta floors and exposed stonework bring the character, while the bedrooms feel blissfully quiet with no traffic noise to disturb your beauty sleep here.

If you can tear yourself away from the panoramic scenes outside, you’ll find you’re closer to the action than you think. The nearest village, Frigiliana (a ten-minute drive), is an afternoon well spent with its tapas bars tucked away in the Moorish old quarter. Nerja, with its ten miles of sandy shores, is a twenty-minute drive for something a little buzzier. Or don your hiking boots or hop on your mountain bikes to explore the verdant pine forests of the Sierra Almijara nature reserve and the lost village of Acebucha – trails start close to your door.

In one direction, you’ve got the meandering trails of the Sierras de Tejeda
Mountains and in the other, it’s a leisurely walk to Nerja’s beachfront. Simplicity is the watchword, inside and out. The backyard is dominated by a shimmering swimming pool – as it should be in the southern Spanish heat. The huge, open-plan kitchen, living and dining room is sleek, if a little sparse – a place for folk that prefer clear surfaces, no clutter and plenty of sunlight streaming in through walls of glass. Up on the first floor, a balcony looks out over the sea.

This magical Mediterranean retreat combines traditional Spanish architecture with contemporary Swedish design, creating an utterly unforgettable pad in the heart of Nerja. A penthouse within a private member's club, this home has many surprises in store – including a showstopping rooftop terrace where you can enjoy the panoramic views of the Balcon de Europa.

Guaranteeing a relaxing stay, this home encourages you to do as much or as little as you like. Make time to appreciate all that is unique about this incredible location – wake early to watch the sunrise on the rooftop terrace, then nap on the daybeds before luxuriating in the private hot tub or taking a dip in the shared infinity pool. Dry off with a cocktail in hand and, depending on what sort of mood you're in, either whip up a Spanish feast in the outdoor kitchen or live like a local and explore Nerja's many tapas bars and restaurants. At the day's end, you won't want to resist a nightcap on the terrace – let yourself be mesmerised by moonrise or stargaze to your heart's content.

You'll be hard pressed to find a reason to tear yourself away from this penthouse paradise and yet nearly ten miles of sandy beaches await. The very nearest – El Chorrillo, Calahonda and Carabeillo – are only a short walk away. You're also in the heart of Nerja's Old Town, perfect if you fancy a bit of exploring.

Mediterranean Magic

And, best of all, there's a glittering swimming pool, where you can take a dip and admire the views over the Andalusian countryside. 

If you're feeling active, lace up your hiking boots or hop on your bike to explore the rugged landscapes. There are plenty of charming white-washed towns and villages to explore, including Cómpeta which is just a short drive away.

Tropical Wanderlust

Beach / Pool Towels

Set in the dramatic mountainous landscape of the Malaga countryside, this unique home has all the ingredients for an unforgettable holiday. Set on 6,500 square metres of land, the home comprises three separate houses built together in a small complex. Each of the houses has a living room and a fully equipped kitchen, so you can make your coffee and breakfast without fighting over countertop space. 

Long summer days can be spent in the garden, soaking up the panoramic views of the green hills and golden mountains. When it gets hot, cool off with a dip in the 15 metre pool. Come lunchtime, fire up the barbecue and enjoy an alfresco meal together on the terrace. The villa is in a peaceful, remote location, and the nearest town is Rincón de la Victoria, 8.7 kilometres away, where there’s pharmacies and supermarkets, as well as restaurants and bars.

You could easily spend all your time relaxing at the villa and splashing around in the pool, but if you feel like an adventure, Malaga is 19 kilometres away and easily reachable by car. Wander around and admire the old colonial architecture and pretty squares, stopping in for a drink and a bite to eat at one of the family run tapas bars. Or spend the afternoon at one of Malaga’s beautiful sandy beaches, enjoying a paella at a seafront restaurant. After a day of sun, sea and sand, head home for cocktails on the terrace as the mountains turn pink.

Set just 450 metres from the beach in La Cala de Mijas, a charming fishing village in Costa del Sol, the location of this intimate apartment complex is spot on. Well-geared to family stays, there’s a communal children’s pool alongside the shared main swimming pool and a private balcony with sea views to admire once little ones are tucked up in bed. Break up pool or beach days with a round of golf – there are over 12 courses within a ten-minute drive. And don't miss sightseeing in history-rich Málaga City – an easy drive along the coast.

Flavours of Andalusia

Nautical in whites and blues, this single-level home on the outskirts of Adra offers one of the most breathtaking views over the Mediterranean. We bet you can already see yourself out in the relaxed space, sunbathing in the sunloungers with a pair of oversized sunglasses thanks to a recent trip into Adra or Almeria – both under an hour away. Slip into the pool for games of shoulder wars or marco polo and dine alfresco at the beautifully tiled table after a quick lunchtime barbecue. 

Mornings of contemplation can be spent under the vine-covered pergola poolside or head out front to enjoy your coffee on the porch. After breakfast you might even fancy a friendly competition of table football out there – that is if you’re not reading or dozing off in the hammock. 

Kindle a fire in the statement fireplace and spend evenings playing board games or building puzzles with the flames dancing in the background. Explore the beaches along the coast and don’t leave without exploring some of the wineries of the area.

Lap up a dreamy Andalusian getaway with this luxurious townhouse as your base. With the sparkling seascape only a short walk from here, you'll have the town of La Cala de Mijas and its natural scenery at your fingertips. Fringed with swaying palm trees and overlooking Mediterranean Sea views, the home features a serene rooftop terrace with a private plunge pool, sun lounging area and outdoor lounge space – perfect for sipping a cold beer afternoon spent on the beach. 

Meanwhile, the leafy balcony terrace extends the main living and dining room outside, where you can find an alfresco dining setting alongside some exotic plants – making tucking to your breakfast each morning all the more delightful. Dressed in soft neutral hues, contemporary fittings and minimal interiors – the home is just as soothing inside – as it is outside. Take refuge from the Spanish sun on the corner couch or in the blissful privacy of the secluded bedrooms when in need of some downtime. Here, you'll find nothing but chilled-out vibes and a laid-back living setup you'll want to take home with you. 

Since the townhouse is located on an exclusive development, it shares three on-site communal swimming pools with other complex residents. So when you fancy swimming a little further than your private rooftop plunge pool will take you, shimmy on down to the residential pools and gardens to do some lengths. Just 750 meters from the city centre of La Cala de Mijas, you'll be within convenient walking distance from the coastal town's glistening sandy beach stretches, waterfront bars and restaurants, as well as an array of beachside boutiques.

Positioned in Cabopino, between Spanish holiday resort towns Marbella and Fuengirola, the villa is ideally located with easy access to the Costa del Sol's luxury golf courses, beaches, shopping and nightlife. And that's before we've even got started on the villa itself. 

Boasting spectacular south-facing views of the Mediterranean sea, enjoy the serene scapes come night or daytime. Balancing indoor and outdoor living couldn't be easier here as bi-fold doors bring the outside in and extend the living area out onto the patio. So relax by the pool on the day beds or perch with a book in the shade on one of the plush sofas. 

We love the clean lines and blue and white colour scheme seen throughout the villa, which offers a soothing space to relax in style. Underfloor heating carried across the main rooms during the slightly chillier months will keep your toes warm. Meanwhile, premium quality entertainment features, including Sonos speakers, Apple TV, and the decked-out kitchen, will keep you occupied even if the sun isn't shining outside. 
There's also an a second lounge hang-out area in the basement of the home, which could be used as a gaming room or extra living space for the children. 

Since you'll be just a fifteen-minute drive away from Marbella and Fuengirola, there's plenty to see and do beyond the villa too. You'll also be within an easy ten minutes walking distance of Cabopino's protected dunes and marina, ideal for a stroll or dining out at one of the many seafront restaurants. Not to mention Luna Beach, which is only 500 metres away and an idyllic spot for watching the sunset over drinks and live music at the local beach restaurant and cocktail bar. 

Free Fallin'

With a heated plunge pool, sunny patio and a small balcony from which you can glimpse the sea, this breezy villa is the definition of coastal cool. Inside you'll find two lounges, a glossy kitchen and chic bedrooms that ooze laid-back luxe. Huge windows flood each room with light, creating a sleek, relaxing haven where you can kick back and relax in style. The small patio is perfect for soaking up the Spanish sunshine. After a quick dip in the crystal clear pool, take a breather on the lounge chairs under the shady umbrella. Nibble on tapas when you grow peckish, then gather on the outdoor sofas with your tipple of choice and watch the sunset – pretty dreamy, if you ask us.

When you're in the mood for a bit more action, walk ten minutes to Playa de Burriana and sprawl out in the sand. Nerja is a lively town on the Costa del Sol, yet it retains a lot of charm despite the buzzing atmosphere. There's a market held every Tuesday, plus a myriad of delicious eateries serving up classic Spanish cuisine. The gorgeous Balcón de Europa is a can't-miss – lined with swaying palm trees and built on the foundations of an old fort, the panoramic views from this lookout are absolutely incredible. With boutiques, bars and beaches aplenty, there'll never be a dull day in paradise.

Effervescent

Cafetiere

Courtyard

Enjoy an authentic Andalusian experience at this stunning mid-19th-century home, tucked away in one of Vélez-Málaga's oldest neighbourhoods. Heavily inspired by the area's centuries of North African influence, you may well feel as though you've been transported across the Strait of Gibraltar.

A palm-fringed and terracotta-tiled courtyard with a glorious pool is the star of the show. Not only is there an intimate outdoor dining area close to the house, but at the far end, you'll find several sun loungers, a built-in brick barbecue and a couple of hammocks for indulgent afternoon naps.

Despite the traditional design, the interior of this gorgeous getaway shines brightly throughout the day, thanks to an abundance of windows and an interior patio decorated with brightly coloured tiles. The ground floor also comes complete with a large kitchen/dining room where up to twelve of you can squeeze in elbow to elbow around the table, plus a triple room.

Five additional bedrooms are located on the first floor, overlooking the interior courtyard and decorated with beautiful wall hangings, brightly coloured bedding and eye-catching lighting – each one offers its own unique charm. A couple even come with the added benefit of balcony access so you can sip your morning coffee looking out over the pool. 

The town itself is nestled between the Sierra Nevada mountains and the Mediterranean sea, offering easy access to both. Much like the home, the town wears its Moorish influence on its sleeve and it's well worth spending an afternoon strolling through the old town and taking in the architecture. With the Spanish sun high in the sky, why not gather the family together and head to the beach in nearby Torre del Mar? Alternatively, witness the unstoppable resurgence of Málaga a little over half an hour away.

Looking for an easy breezy retreat in Costa del Sol with sea views and a private plunge pool to boot? Et Voila! The search is over.

Dazzling white from top to toe with interiors as crisp as they come, you'll be doing some serious swooning here – and that's before you even step outside onto that vast private terrace and clap your eyes on the sea views and inviting plunge pool.

Set on an exclusive and oh-so-luxurious resort – you'll never be short of things to do here. Mosey down to the palm-fringed shared swimming pools – there's a swim training pool to bank some laps, or settle down on the in-water loungers to soak up the Mediterranean rays. You can up the ante later with a workout in the impressive shared gym, followed by a spot of rejuvenation in the shared steam bath and sauna. Then take your pick from the four on-site restaurants, bars and a bakery when thoughts turn to food and a glass of something crisp.

Ready for a change of scene? Then blaze a trail to the sandy shores of Playa Faro de Calaburras, with a charming beach restaurant to keep the drinks flowing – it's just 650 metres from your door, and the resort's courtesy train will have you there in no time. Just be sure to make it home before the sun sets – the views from your terrace are out-of-this-world.

Et Voilà!

There’s no doubt this is one of Nerja’s most impressive sea-grazing apartments. With a Scandi-luxe interior and compelling panoramic views all the way across the Mediterranean, this apartment is a sumptuous place to call home. Get set to escape reality and embrace all things coastal as you retreat to this sensational Malagan oasis.

Inside, it's a vision of its own, with minimal design elements and Spanish-influenced furnishings. Lounging and dining in this space feels cosy and opulent – a linen sofa and marble coffee tables are accompanied by considered touches whilst the sleek wooden table is positioned under the lantern mood lights – allowing you to create your perfect ambience. We particularly love the industrial accents – the iron-framed bedroom is a uniquely cool design feature. We can't speak about this home and not mention the views, however. From your private terrace, there are panoramas of the Balcón de Europa and Carabeo coves –  make the most of the vistas from the cosy lounge chairs, a Malaga digestif in hand.

With access to the resort’s plush daybeds and crystalline pool, you’ll be able to soak up the sun decadently. Though you might find all the relaxation you need is right here at home, the sparking waters along the Carabeo sands are right off your doorstep.

Carabeo Calm

Wedged between the coast and the Sierras of Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama Natural Park, this beautiful home has the best of land and sea. Allocate days to exploring the sweeping views of the nature reserve as you set out to find the hidden waterfalls on the many hiking trails. On other days, you can appreciate the sunshine by doing absolutely nothing more than making yourself comfortable on the beaches along the coast. Sunbathe, frolic in the surf and built sandcastles as the sun begins to dip. 

Come home to a bright and cosy home where you can utilise the open dining, kitchen, and living space by going back and forth to top up your coffee as you keep your nose in a novel. Enjoy a Spanish tortilla for breakfast at the dining table and fire up the barbecue for a grilled lunch alfresco. Enjoy drinks around the pool, slipping into the cool waters whenever the heat gets a little intense. 

Spend balmy evenings outside, conversing under the stars as you enjoy another glass of wine.

Beams of Wood & Sun

Located just 4 kilometres from Torrox, this stylish home offers a scenic retreat from which to enjoy the delights of the Andalusian coast. 

Inside, tall ceilings, tiled floors and contemporary decor set a welcoming scene in the open-plan living area. Open the glass doors here to step out onto a private patio where a shaded dining area facing the surrounding picturesque hills beckons alfresco feasts aplenty courtesy of the barbecue. Around the corner, you’ll also find a shimmering plunge pool – the ideal way to unwind at any time of day or night, a glass of bubbly in hand. Alternatively, take in the breathtaking vistas from the bedroom’s picture window-facing armchair and feel inspired to work on something creative at the handy desk space just next to it. 

When it comes to exploring outside your home, make a beeline for the nearby beaches (3.1 kilometres away) or visit some of the charming villages in the vicinity, including Frigiliana and Nerja, both under 20 kilometres from your door.

Located on a narrow street in the historic town of Alhaurín el Grande, close to the green slopes of Sierra de Mijas, you'll find this spectacular villa. 

Even the entrance to this home is awe-inspiring. Adorned with blue and white tiles, hand-painted by the lost artisans of Seville, this hallway gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "if walls could talk." You'll also find an original stone motif and lattice, dating all the way back to 1882. This home seamlessly blends historic features with modern-day living to create a space that's not only inviting but has an incredible sense of whimsy.

The blue and white theme is present throughout the home, adding pretty pops of colour that contrast beautifully with the terracotta brickwork and patio. Speaking of the patio, this area is most definitely the beating heart of this home, boasting multiple levels containing shady nooks to relax in, a dining table for alfresco feasts and a swimming pool complete with a trickling water feature. 

Spend your days sipping coffee on the outdoor sofa, cooling off in the pool or tucking into brunch in the sunshine. When you fancy a change of scene, head into town to sample an array of international cuisines, pick up a few treats at the local bakery or have a wander around the 18th-century churches and chapels. 

When you return home, head straight to the hammam for some much-deserved R&R. Allow the steam to cleanse your skin while the jacuzzi jets wash over any tired muscles. Evenings are best spent in the basement, where you'll find a pool table and bar.
