With its whitewashed walls, wooden shutters, and timber beams, this authentically Andalusian home is full of charm. You’ll be spoilt for choice when picking a place to relax – beside the courtyard swimming pool, on the sunny roof terrace, or in the tiled jacuzzi? Meanwhile inside, the characterful rooms are homely and inviting (although two bathrooms might be a tad cosy if eight of you are staying). As for the location, it’s halfway between Seville and Córdoba for day trips, and you’ll find a smattering of shops and restaurants nearby if you don’t want to venture too far.

• If you'd like to use the jacuzzi, your host will charge an additional fee of £20.98 a week.
