Situated in the Andalusian hills, surrounded by the Alozainan olive groves, this homely villa offers relaxation in the glorious Spanish sunshine. Inside, authentic furnishings complement the rural design – think wood accents and original features that add comfort and warmth to each room. The tranquillity extends outside, too. Start the day by taking your morning coffee onto your patio for views across the rugged and luscious landscape. Lie back and soak up that Andalusian aura on the loungers before cooling off with a swim in your sparkling pool, or throw up a parasol for some shaded reading time. If entertaining from home is your vibe, this home’s rustic kitchen means you can rustle up Spanish meals for your loved ones authentically – there’s an outdoor barbecue pit for charred dishes too. Enjoy your hard work alfresco at the dining table on the terrace before cosying up with a glass of Rioja as the sun sinks beneath the mountains. When you’re ready to explore, head to the Sierra de Nieves National Park to hike the trails and catch majestic views of the region.
