Nestled away within Andalusia's mountainous interior, this villa bears the traditional appearance of many of the region's homes with whitewashed walls, exposed beams and a fireplace. However, to label the address rustic wouldn't be telling the whole story. Look a little closer and you'll be able to tell from the tiled kitchen, sleek bathrooms and stylish furnishings that the property underwent a recent refurbishment. The outdoor area is as far from back-to-basics as you could imagine, as well. Not only is there an invitingly blue swimming pool surrounded by loungers that wouldn't look out of place on a Balaeric island, but there's a pergola at the edge of the home's grounds that treats guests to sweeping views of the local countryside. You just might find that this panorama inspires you to head out and explore this corner of southern Spain. The Natural Park of the Torcal of Antequera takes about half an hour to reach in the car, as does the historic city that lends the park its name. In the other direction, the art galleries and seaside spots of Malaga can be reached in just under an hour in the car.

Local guide
About Antequera
Unlike the mountainous regions that characterise rural Spain, Antequera is formed mainly of plains interspersed with hills, fields and olive groves. At the heart of this area is the namesake city of Antequera. What it lacks in coastline, it makes up for in culture, boasting a mixture of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture among its narrow streets.
