Marbella might be synonymous with glitz and glamour, but it's still possible to find solace in nearby resorts. This quietly palatial villa has all the benefits of the Costa del Sol while allowing you to retreat from the coastal crowds. The plush bedrooms are comfortable and old-world, with tiled floors and patterned fabrics, and enable direct access to the terrace outside. There is a comfortable and well-furnished lounge area and kitchen, ideal for preparing a lunch to take out into the lush garden. The wi-fi will help you keep connected should you need to, but you won’t want to be shut away for long – not in Marbella! Close to your home, you'll have access to two paddle tennis and two tennis courts, as well as four substantial swimming pools – one of which is heated and another dedicated to children. Family safety is paramount, so the area is pedestrianised, which is ideal given that it’s no more than a ten-minute walk to the sea. A short drive will get you to nearby golf courses and a sports harbour for diving, sailing, surfing and water skiing, a leisure park and always the awe-inspiring mountainous backdrop of Los Alcornocales. But every day, you’ll come back to the fantastic retreat of your home, where quiet relaxation awaits – guaranteed.
