Make the most of Costa del Sol's sunshine at this family villa. It's further away from the beach, but you'll still be less than a thirty-minute drive from Cala de Mijas's rocky shore. Plus, with a private swimming pool back home – which can be heated for a fee – you can cool off without venturing out. Some rooms are a little dated, but you can't deny there's a lot of space here. Upstairs, two bedrooms offer access to a terrace, while the third is located on the lower level. Keep in mind that one of the rooms has a trundle bed – not so great for adults, but an excellent option for kids.

Home truths
The third bedroom has a single daybed with a single pull-out that can convert into a double. We think it's best suited for children.
This home is spread across multiple levels. Stairs are required.
The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts, particularly the bathrooms and bedrooms.
Due to the remote location, we suggest hiring a car for ease. There's street parking available here.
You may not find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started. The nearest supermarket is in Coín, a 5-kilometre drive away.
