Blessed with a peaceful location in the hills above Málaga, this villa will be ideal for those that like to be a little off the beaten track, but not in the middle of nowhere either. This rural setting means that there are picturesque views of the Andalusian countryside to enjoy from the home's outdoor space, which features a rather inviting swimming pool surrounded by loungers as the centrepiece. Once you're done splashing about, there's plenty of seating and hammocks on the terrace, plus an alfresco dining table and barbecue, too. Inside, the design is a little more contemporary than you might imagine, especially the bold green kitchen, which is vast in size and full of sleek surfaces. We're also fond of the light-filled living rooms with their log-burning fireplaces ready and waiting for cooler evenings. The home also has some great environmentally friendly credentials including LED lights, solar panels, reverse osmosis filtered drinking tap & an organic vegetable garden. When it comes to getting the local area a little better, the town of Almogia is only 3.5km away, offering restaurants and shops to those that make the journey. Málaga itself is only 25km away if you fancy days of gallery-hopping and sunbathing... on the beach.
