Perched in the hills above Marbella, this home is made for outdoor living, with a terrace overlooking the Mediterranean, alfresco dining beneath the stars, and a shared plunge pool. This is a studio, so it's ideal for couples – though there is a sofa bed for a third guest if needed. You'll also have access to a larger communal pool whenever the mood strikes. Benahavís' cobbled streets are a twenty-minute drive away, while Puerto Banús and Marbella's flower-filled Old Town can both be reached in about thirty minutes.

Home truths
While your host doesn't accept children under 12 years old, babes in arms who sleep with parents may be allowed upon request.
This home consists of a studio apartment with its own outdoor area.
At full occupancy, one guest will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
The home sits in the hills above Marbella, so you'll need a car to reach the beach, restaurants, and shops on the coast. Puerto Banús and central Marbella are both a short drive away.
You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
The plunge pool is shared with another apartment, while the larger pool is shared with the other guests at the resort.
