With its traditional charm, beautiful views and range of impressive features, we weren’t surprised to hear that The Times had named this home as one of the best holiday villas in Spain. Outside, you can immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Andalucía while swimming in the pool. There is also an indoor pool, a jacuzzi and a sauna – making this the perfect setting for a restorative retreat. And when it comes to entertainment, you’ll find a games room, an outdoor bar, a wine cellar and plenty to explore in the surroundings. Your host is also on hand to help organise extras like horse riding and private chefs. Plus, it’s just a short drive to Gaucín and Colmenar.
