We love this renovated and updated fisherman’s cottage right on the edge of the deep blue sea. The private back garden has everything you’ll need to while away the summer hours in absolute contentment: the heated hydro-massage pool and sun loungers are all angled towards the sparkling ocean, just a stone’s throw beyond. A little back gate leads you directly out onto the lava rock coastline where you can dive into the clearest of waters. Inside, you’ll find a cool and welcoming space to retreat to. Many of the original features have been preserved, including the beautiful flooring of honeyed stone criss-crossed with timber. Slanting ceilings with original timbers make the bedrooms extra cosy, and the sea views from both mean you’ll likely linger on before rolling out of bed for the day. This home is right in the heart of the sleepy fishing village of Santa Tecla, so you’ll be able to stroll out of your front door and find a small and friendly range of cafes, restaurants and shops.
