Spread over seven and a half acres of land, this hillside villa immediately grabbed our attention as an idyllic base for a countryside escape. While we found the interior to be a little dated, it's really all about the outdoor areas here – the terrace offers stunning vista views, and the alfresco dining area is perfect for a rustic Spanish feast. There are also a few garden areas to head off to if you want a quiet moment to yourself. When it's time to explore, there are several charming hillside towns close by like Ronda or Gaucin, and you're less than an hour's drive from the coast.

About Estepona
Estepona has not been dubbed the Garden of the Costa del Sol without good reason. From the palm trees lining the promenade to the many flower pots hanging from the whitewashed houses in the old town, this town takes its aesthetics seriously. The beauty is not just contained to greenery, though – among the winding streets, you’re never far from murals and sculptures. Historic buildings and museums are dotted throughout...
