Situated in the Andalusian hills, surrounded by the Alozainan olive groves, this homely villa offers relaxation in the glorious Spanish sunshine. 

Inside, authentic furnishings complement the rural design – think wood accents and original features that add comfort and warmth to each room. The tranquillity extends outside, too. Start the day by taking your morning coffee onto your patio for views across the rugged and luscious landscape. Lie back and soak up that Andalusian aura on the loungers before cooling off with a swim in your sparkling pool, or throw up a parasol for some shaded reading time.

If entertaining from home is your vibe, this home’s rustic kitchen means you can rustle up Spanish meals for your loved ones authentically – there’s an outdoor barbecue pit for charred dishes too. Enjoy your hard work alfresco at the dining table on the terrace before cosying up with a glass of Rioja as the sun sinks beneath the mountains.

When you’re ready to explore, head to the Sierra de Nieves National Park to hike the trails and catch majestic views of the region.

Nice to haves

In the foothills of Sierra de las Nieves, you’ll find the historic town of Alozaina where, if you were to walk along the winding streets, much of its storied past is quite plain to see in Latin-inspired churches and the many monuments. Make your way around, stopping off at cafes or restaurants when you’re not exploring one of the many hiking trails of Málaga. 

Return home after a morning out, preferably with little roscos de vino or cinnamon and sugar covered pestiños and sit down for a cup of coffee together at the dining table. Bright and homely, the blend of rustic comfort and more modern touches make for the perfect backdrop to a relaxed holiday where you can focus on relaxing, spending quality time together, and making memories. 

A lot of those will likely be made in the beautiful outdoor area where you can swim with the striking rolling landscape in the background. Take nibbles out to enjoy with fortified wine or enjoy a bit of self-care by reading in one of the sunloungers.

Even from inside you can keep an eye on the outdoors by gazing through the large window in the front room. With a second living space to spend evenings next to a crackling fire, this home is comfort and style rolled all into one.

Surrounded by peaceful olive groves and palm trees, this villa is perfectly positioned in the Andalucian countryside. It’s six kilometres from the pretty mountain town of Tolox, where whitewash buildings sit against the mountain scenery, home to shops, restaurants and cafés. This is also where several hiking trails lead into the stunning Sierra Nevada mountains.

Perched atop a mountain, you’ve got a panoramic view over the olive groves, hills and forests from your terrace. There’s a swimming pool for a cooling dip and a luxurious double daybed with billowing white curtains for delving into a good book. A veranda runs the length of the villa for outdoor dining and reclining in the shade. Inside, terracotta tiled floors and exposed stone walls keep things feeling cool and rustic. There’s a fireplace in the living room should the evening turn chilly. Wood-carved and granite-topped, the kitchen feels like the cosy farmhouse kitchens of times gone by. Plus, there’s a stone-built barbecue outside for alfresco feasts. 

Mountain Rusticana

Free Parking

When you walk into this sparkling villa, the first thing you'll notice are the incredible views. Situated in the heart of the Andalusian countryside, this secluded home purrs with relaxation and inspires with the stunning scenery in the background. 

The best viewing spots reside in the outdoor space, whether it's on the comfort of the sun lounger or the luxury of the pool. You'll probably spend your time rotating between the loungers and the pool, grabbing a cold drink from the fridge along the way.

You can also settle down with a drink at the outdoor dining table, complemented by tasty plates of tapas. It's an idyllic spot to gather in the evenings, sharing delicious food and good conversation as the sun sets beneath the rolling hills. 

There's another dining table inside for when the weather is a bit chillier, or for when you just fancy a night in. It lays adjacent to comfy sofas and chairs, a cosy area which radiates from natural light pouring in through the floor-to-ceiling terrace doors.

Disconnect from the rest of the world in comfort and style at this beautiful villa, located just outside the small Spanish town of Alozaina in Malaga.  This home's gorgeous blend of traditional with modern comfort grants you everything you need to feel right at home. Gather on the porch for a barbecue in the evening under the shade, or prepare a good meal of paella or chorizo indoors in the well-equipped kitchen and enjoy it in the fresh air, overlooking the vast landscape that surrounds the villa. The fireplace in the open-plan living space is great for a cosy evening with a movie on the TV, and it'll be all too easy to while away the long hours of the day by the private pool, enjoying the calm water and the comfortable sun loungers. Getting that perfect holiday tan has never been easier.

It's best to have a car here for getting around, but you won't be far from Alozaina, where you'll find all the necessities you might need during your stay. You'll also find some fantastic local bars and restaurants – who says you have to cook all the time while you're on holiday? Dig into some new foods and some familiar favourites, and enjoy the friendly local atmosphere. In the evening, watch the sunset with some drinks, and toast to a day well spent – no matter how you spent it.

Take in the perfume of the surrounding orange, almond and olive trees as you walk through the grounds of this beautifully remote apartment, located 1.5 kilometres from Guaro. A vision of relaxation with breathtaking views over the rugged hills, this is a singularly enticing retreat that’s ready to ease you into carefree holiday living. 

Start mornings with sunny breakfasts on the patio while feasting on the wide-sweeping natural views before catching some rays in the cool plunge pool. Evenings call for sundowners in the privileged outdoor spot followed by a celebratory meal cooked up in the modern kitchen. And when it’s time for bed, you’ll find the comfortable bedroom waiting to drift you into a seamless night’s sleep. 

Outside of your home, the nearby village of Guaro has shops and restaurants to explore, while Marbella with its sandy beaches and lively resort town atmosphere is 22 kilometres from your door.

Dryer

Looking out over mountains and fields, the background of this home is idyllic – perfect for those looking for some seclusion. The interior, while a bit dated, includes everything you need for extended stays. The location is fairly rural, so a car is essential – the nearest restaurant and shops are 3 km away. And yet the kids shouldn't get bored, with the pool and play area sure to keep them occupied. If you fancy heading to the coast, you're 34 km from the centre of Malaga.

The Blue Melody

Surrounded by olive trees with expansive views across the hills of Andalusia, this whitewashed home feels like a refreshing retreat. 

Located in the town of Coín and just a twenty-minute drive from the beaches of Marbella, every detail of this setting invites a wonderful sense of ease and relaxation. From the rustic interiors to the traditional features and cosy comforts, it’s easy to be captivated by the charm of this home. 

Featuring an open-plan living room alongside four elegant bedrooms and a private annexe, you’ll find ample space for spending quality time together whilst enjoying the quiet beauty of the location. 

Stepping outside, the luxurious swimming pool sets the tone for a rejuvenating stay. And with a traditional outdoor kitchen alongside a patio, you’ll find this home lends itself perfectly to golden-hour drinks and Spanish-style barbecues under the stars. 

Days can be spent relaxing here or exploring the sun-drenched coast of southern Spain. You’ll find the glamorous shoreline of Marbella is within easy reach, while the atmospheric city of Málaga is just a thirty-minute drive away.

A stay here is like floating in the sky. It's the feeling of being isolated from the world, but more connected than ever to it. Situated high up at a wonderful vantage point gazing over the Andalusian region of Valle del Guadalhorce, this villa will provide friends and family with a magnificent place to create memories. The patio area is where you'll be spending most of your time – and for good reason. As soon as you step outside of the back door, you'll be greeted by one of the most jaw-dropping views. Find a quiet spot to do some morning yoga or splash around in the pool during the afternoons. Either way, you'll always feel connected to the nature around you. We especially think you'll love meal times spent on the terrace. Serve up a big bowl of paella valenciana and feel like the mountains have been invited to dinner with you. Thankfully, they're quiet guests!

Being located in such a rural area means you have plenty of hiking opportunities within a short distance. We recommend the thirty-minute drive to Caminito del Rey. It's a beautiful walkway pinned along the steep walls of a narrow gorge in El Chorro. Admission is cheap and well worth it for amazing photo opportunities. After your day out hiking, you'll look forward to returning home to a place packed with as much character on the inside as the landscape outside. With a fireplace to snuggle up around at the end of a long day exploring, you'll feel right at home in this traditional Spanish countryside villa

The Mountains Came to Dinner

Step-Free Access

Outdoor Shower

Sitting in the countryside between Málaga and Marbella, this typically Andalusian home is just the spot for a peaceful getaway during which you'll spend as many hours as possible in the great outdoors.

Part of the alfresco appeal is the dramatic landscape of hillsides and clouds rolling across the sky that greets you as you step out the back door. It makes for a lovely backdrop against which to paddle in the swimming pool, soak up the sunshine on one of the loungers or read on the shady pergola. Once nighttime starts to descend, you can fire up the barbecue and dine on the covered terrace.

Back inside, there are a fair few period features to be spotted, from the exposed brick fireplace in the corner of the living room to the vaulted wooden ceiling beams. However, these are matched with plenty of contemporary flourishes, too – the large windows bring in copious amounts of natural light, for example, while the sleek kitchen and bathrooms feel anything but dated.

When you're in need of shops and restaurants, the centre of Villafranco de Guadalhorce is only 2km away and Alhaurin el Grande is 7km away, too. A little further afield, there are sandy beaches at Fuengirola and Torremolinos, which are both around 30km away, too.


Let Me Set the Scene

If you're planning a glorious getaway to southern Spain then you can't go wrong with this majestic finca. With space for up to fifteen guests, there's plenty of room for all your favourite people to spend some quality time together. 

You'll be enchanted by the traditional details, from the rustic furniture to the grand, high ceilings complete with wooden beams. If the weather is chilly, you can curl up in the living room and get cosy next to the fire with a glass of Rioja. And, when the sun is shining, you'll want to make use of the wonderful outside space, complete with epic views of the hills beyond. Plunge into the glittering swimming pool, then dry off on a lounger as you catch some rays. Then, when evening rolls around, you can enjoy a delicious alfresco feast hot off the barbeque. 

There are plenty of charming villages to visit, including Alora, with its white-washed buildings that are typical of the area. Adventurous types can hit the hiking trails to explore the magnificent scenery – the nearby Ruta Jurásica Monte Hacho is simply stunning. And, if you fancy a day trip, you can drive to the bustling coastal city of Malaga in under an hour for a day at the beach.

Hideaway In The Hills

With panoramic views of the Sierra de las Nieves, this home in Monda pays homage to the mountains and woodland that forms part of this nature reserve by aiming its gaze directly at it. Sit anywhere outside – albeit the dining table for an alfresco breakfast or when one of the sunloungers – and you’ll be able to trace the rolling hills on the horizon, spotting the pops of green the native foliage provides.

Of course, if you’d like to get up close and personal with it, you can explore the hiking areas of the surroundings when you’re not spending sun-drenched days at one of the sandy beaches along the coast. 

Understandably you’re going to want to linger outdoors and that can easily be done by dining out on the terrace, grilling meals on the barbecue, or by being in and around the crystal-clear swimming pool, but with this home, you don’t have to sever the connection once you’re inside. With doors opening to  Juliette balconies in most rooms, you can throw them wide open as you settle down for an afternoon nap. 

Treat yourself to some of the local sweets and enjoy it with a cup of freshly-brewed coffee as you sit down together at the rustic dining table, or light the wood-burning stove in the lounge and socialise over wine as the fire crackles in the background.

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. Have a friendly tournament or put your mixology skills to the test, before retiring to the home cinema to watch a movie on the big screen. Don't forget to make yourself a batch of popcorn to get the full experience.

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'

Outdoor Kitchen

Found in a more rural location on the Costa del Sol, this home has looks, location, and a peaceful environment going for it. 

Experience it for yourself when you’re sitting out on the terrace overlooking the rolling hills of Andalucia. Savour a glass of red in the shade of the patio umbrella as you enjoy nibbles and watch the young ones splash in the crystalline, private pool. The outdoor kitchen means you hardly ever have to sever the connection to the outdoors, instead use the gas stove to fry up breakfast you can then enjoy alfresco.

With rustic charm and comfort in spades, this home offers space for everyone to relax in whichever way they see fit, and though it may be hard to leave behind, do venture out for breakfast in Coín, only minutes away by car. Golfers can take to the nearest course whilst nature lovers might find themselves exploring the limestone mountains and caves of the Sierra de las Nieves National Park.

Return home after a long day out to watch the sunset with a glass of wine before treating yourself to a long soak in the tub. The sprawling garden is the ideal place for stargazing as you enjoy drinks out on the lawn.

Sunshine Days

This home in the Andalusian countryside is very much away from it all. There’s nothing but olive groves, rugged hills and the odd farmstead for miles. The closest town is around a fifteen-minute drive away – El Saucejo – where you’ve got supermarkets for supplies and a handful of local restaurants and bars. Plus, the pretty town of Ronda with its famous gorge and the historic city of Seville are both around an hour’s drive away, ideal for a day trip or two.

Life here is all about embracing the slow pace – lying up on a lounger by the swimming pool as orange trees provide natural shade. Finding a secluded spot on the stone patios and settling in with a good book. Or, perhaps gathering for rustic lunches in the shade of the outdoor dining area, surrounded by old-world farming tools – a nod to the villa’s history. 

Inside, it’s got the look of an old farmhouse with a brick fireplace at the heart of the living room, wooden beams on display and darkwood furniture that feels as though it’s been in the family for generations. We love the gnarled wood and iron motif that sings of agriculture in the 19th century. The farmhouse-style kitchen is a colourful spot thanks to green-washed cupboards and peach tiles, and the dining room is a great spot for the group to gather at the end of the day. The traditional feel continues in bedrooms where windows look out over the countryside and iron-framed beds await for sound sleep in the peace and quiet. 

Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice

Rooftop Terrace

Located in the town of Gaucin, in the province of Malaga, Andalucia, this penthouse apartment offers some truly incredible panoramic views. Each morning, you will wake up in this bright home with its terracotta floors and Tiffany-blue doors and want to step out onto the terrace immediately to enjoy the soft breeze. On the southern terrace, you can admire views of the Mediterranean on the horizon and a valley that stretches out before you as you enjoy an alfresco breakfast, sipping fresh jugo de naranja. 

Spend your days sunbathing on the rooftop and cooling off in your private plunge pool, or head out and explore the outskirts of the village. In the evening, the northern terrace of the home is the ideal spot to enjoy an alfresco dinner or a jug of sangria as you take in the views of Gaucin, the Guadiaro valley, and the Sierra del Hacho. 

Ático al Cielo

Set right in the Sierra de las Nieves nature reserve, this Andalusian villa has been in the same family for five generations and recently received the European Charter of Quality Certificate. Passed down from heir to heir, this home has incorporated more modern touches over the years but the bones of it remain the same, adding a homely touch. Everything from the exposed-beam ceilings to the shuttered windows, ornate headboards of the beds, brick fireplace, and rustic kitchen pays homage to the villa’s beginnings, and we bet you can see yourself finding total and utter peace between the four walls here. 

If not, you can always venture outdoors. Walk towards the gadens where you’ll find many types of fruit trees, as well as vineyards and olive groves. Bask in the aromas as you sit down with a book and read under the Mediterranean sun. When you’ve been properly baked, opt for a quick dip in the pool to refresh before organising the barbecue lunch. Enjoy it alfresco and stay out, capturing photographs of the beautiful decorative outdoor stove and the creeping vines, as you enjoy drinks under the pergola. 

Marbella is a fairly short drive away, and so are four golf courses – good news for any golfing enthusiasts in your party. Spend sun-drenched days in the golden sand of the closest beach or get a new appreciation for the native fauna by exploring the many hiking trails. 

Amongst the Fruit Trees

Ping Pong Table

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.  

I Capture the Sea

Single-Level Home

Deep within the Andalucian mountains, this petit villa is a retreat surrounded by big scenery. Gaze at the Sierra Nevada mountains in the distance from the comfort of a sun lounger. Plunge into the turquoise water, swim and few laps and repeat. A built-in brick barbecue with a prep area provides the outdoor cooking station, and lunch can be served on the shaded terrace. 

Despite the traditional exterior, with its white walls and terracotta roof, the inside feels clean and modern. The solid wood door opens up to an open kitchen, living and dining room in muted tones of lightwood and grey. So, from the cook in the kitchen to the kids lounging on the big, L-shaped sofa, everyone can easily spend time together. A set of bunk beds in the second bedroom lets you know this place is family-friendly.

In terms of location, you’re surrounded by peace and quiet. The charming Andalucian town of Cartama is a 6km drive away and hopping on the highway sees you at the historic city of Malaga – the birthplace of Picasso and home to a honey-hued winding old centre.

Among sandy beaches and close to the famous yacht-lined marina, this charming villa provides a beautiful base from which to discover the iconic sights of Marbella. Boasting a pretty garden, spend sunny mornings relaxing by the private pool, or enjoy some shade and a cup of coffee under the sun umbrella. If you do manage to tear yourself away from the garden, take a walk along the coast then onto the refreshingly unspoilt San Pedro de Alcantara, where you can take your pick from a plethora of restaurants for lunch. Golfers will appreciate the the close proximity to five different golf courses, ideal for a family day out. 

After a day of exploring, relaxing and making memories, head home to fire up the barbecue. Gather everyone on the patio for a delicious alfresco feast under the stars. Post-dinner, enjoy a relaxing bubble bath in the freestanding tub, then take a seat on the balcony to enjoy the warm evening breeze with a glass of wine.

Sugar Cane Shores

Tennis Court

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. 

Paradise Place

Looking for a romantic escape in the Spanish countryside? This is the perfect villa. Tucked away amidst the sprawling landscape of Andalusia, this cosy home oozes peace and relaxation.

We fell in love with the idyllic outdoor space, an oasis of fresh greenery, bright colours and breathtaking views. It's the type of space where hours could pass and you'd barely notice – you're just basking in the pure tranquility. 

Start your mornings with a cup of coffee on the comfy cushions, slowly waking up with the natural scenery. Mosey over to the pool for sessions of swimming and sunbathing, breaking up the day with a siesta in the hammock. 

Come the romance of the evening, the cute outdoor table is a dreamy spot for alfresco dining. Tuck into plates of tapas and paella, complemented by a bottle of Rioja wine, and watch the sun set beneath the mountains. 

If you fancied a more urban setting or some time by the beach, the charming cities of Malaga and Marbella are just a short drive away.

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

Surrounded by lush vegetation and with a crystal-clear private pool for those hot days, this beautiful villa not only has attractive mountain and valley views, but it makes rest and relaxation a pretty alluring prospect. Can you see yourself here, giving in to the tranquillity by simply enjoying a cup of coffee on the balcony? Can you imagine yourself floating in the pool, gazing up at the bright blue sky, or napping in the sunlounger? Enjoy drinks and nibbles out on the terrace after a barbecued lunch, but not before a morning on the tennis court. 

Of course, the golf course is also a short drive away, which will lure avid golfers away for a few rounds. The rest of the family can head to the Jarapalos hiking trail for a scenic walk that’ll only make you more appreciative of the fresh air and beautiful landscapes. 

Return home where stylish interiors mix in with exposed beams and plenty of natural light. With multiple levels, there’s an undeniable flow to this home that only goes adds to the open and relaxing atmosphere. Spend days sprawled on the sofa with a good book or snuggle together when it’s time for family movie night. 

There are nooks for everyone to fall into their own groove and enjoy their holiday however they see fit, but don’t forget to come together on the terrace for sundown drinks every evening.

Orange Peel & Forest Green

Cafetiere

Bright and quirky, this rural home – only minutes away from the heart of Estacion de Cartama – is the perfect escape for anyone looking to explore Malaga at a more relaxed pace.

Start mornings off in the farmhouse-style kitchen by preparing breakfast for everyone to enjoy at the powder-blue dining table found on the shaded terrace. Stay out there long after, tying to decide what shape your day might take. 

Pledge yourself to the pool, either in or around, if you’re spending the day at home. Get some holiday reading done in the grassy nook of the garden, making sure to have a glass of wine or an ice-cold cocktail to hand.

Away from home you can have lunch in town or go for a morning hike in the Senda del rio Guadalhorce area, only minutes away. Return with tired limbs, and run a luxurious bath before spending evenings stargazing or watching a movie together in the living room.

Rainbow Drops

Security Cameras

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.

Foosball / Table Football

A sense of calm will wash over you from the moment you arrive at this idyllic home. Surrounded by palm trees and fragrant gardens, this grand villa in the Costa del Sol has beautiful views of the mountains, sumptuously decorated rooms, and a spectacular swimming pool. The villa is designed in the opulent Ancient Roman style, with a pillared portico entrance that leads through to the atrium with a fountain at its centre. A shaded terrace wraps around the house, with plenty of places to relax, an alfresco dining table and a high spec barbecue for whipping up traditional Spanish feasts. 

Start the day with a dip in the crystalline waters of the pool, before enjoying breakfast on the terrace. There are plenty of sun loungers to relax on, as well as a ping pong table for a quick games in between sunbathing. You could easily spend all week admiring the gardens and splashing around in the water, but there’s plenty to explore nearby too. This home is on the outskirts of the famous Mijas Golf Resort, with two excellent 18-hole courses, and also a short drive to the buzzy town of Fuengirola, with its beautiful beach. After a day of sun, sea, and sand, come home and enjoy cocktails on the terrace while the kids run around in the garden and play on the trampoline.

Villa Romana

Located in Arcos de la Frontera, this charming villa offers the chance to explore one of Spain’s lesser-known towns. It’s got a cosy country vibe inside, with everything you need to feel right at home. Large windows lead out onto a sunny garden with a covered terrace and a private swimming pool. Surrounded by lush greenery and wild olive trees, the rural location offers a peaceful escape, but you’ll need a car to get around as the home is relatively removed from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. If you’re willing to do a bit of driving, there’s plenty to see and do here, from historic towns to breathtaking natural parks.

Nestled in the hills of Palo Alto, this apartment opens its doors to pure relaxation. Outside, you can admire panoramic views across the Mediterranean while swimming in the communal pool. You can also enjoy access to a spa, gym and tennis court during your stay. And while the facilities and grounds are shared with the neighbouring apartments, you will have a private terrace – perfect for sunset drinks and alfresco dining. It’s worth noting you will need a car to get around here, but your host can help organise car rentals. Plus, it’s just a ten-minute drive to Marbella and the nearest beaches. 

Days of Happiness

Games Room

You’ll find this family-friendly villa around a ten-minute drive from Coín and thirty minutes from Malaga. The outside space steals the show with its private pool, hot tub and mountain views from the seating area. If you’re staying with little ones, there’s a playhouse and a games room to keep them occupied. The interior style might not be to everyone’s taste, but the bedrooms are comfortable, and the kitchen has everything you need for home cooking. At capacity, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed. 

The Crimson Moon

Umbrellas

If you think of an authentic Spanish home in the mountains, you’ll likely be picturing this villa. It’s a fine example of a traditional home in Spain, with tiled floors, exposed brick, and wooden beams. Best of all, it’s an oasis far from the tourist crowds of the cities. This villa sits in a rural spot just outside of the small town of Alora, in the Guadalhorce Valley. Dramatic mountains dominate the skyline surrounding the home, so your eye is constantly drawn to the view. It’s a rustic escape in a tranquil part of Spain, where you can really focus on relaxing and making happy holiday memories. 

The villa is comfortable and welcoming, with all the basics you might need for a break. If you’re anything like us though, you’ll be spending most of your time outside – it’s where this home really shines. The covered terrace with a barbecue and outdoor dining area is perfect for every meal, whether you’re sipping your morning coffee with pastries, or settling down to languid lunches that evolve into late-night feasts. All the while, the sweeping view of the mountains serves as a breath-taking backdrop. 

When you’re not dining alfresco, you’ll be swimming in the private swimming pool, or soaking up the sun alongside it. Revel in the peaceful setting as you float in the cool water, feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin. It’s absolute bliss.
