Perched above the Guadalhorce Valley with views stretching towards the whitewashed town of Álora, this villa earns its hilltop position at every turn. Swing in the terrace chair as the Andalusian mountains shift through shades of gold at dusk, or cool off in the private pool with that same panorama ahead of you. Inside, whitewashed timber beams and deep sofas set a calm tone, while the spa-style bathroom – with its Jacuzzi-style corner bathtub – invites a slower pace. Málaga and the Costa del Sol are within easy driving distance when you're ready to venture out.

About Andalusia
Meandering cobbled streets past bright white houses and quiet squares splashed with the magenta-pink of bougainvillaeas is the iconic image of Andalusia’s hilltop towns.
