Sitting at 550m above sea level, this stunning mountain refuge offers an enviable bird's-eye view over soaring landscapes and verdant valleys. The peaks of the Sierra Tejeda command the vista to the east while staring southwards will lead your eye all the way to the azure waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Your hosts first discovered this hidden gem back in 2015. Enchanted by the setting, they spent months tracking down the home's original owners, followed by a couple of years creating this idyllic Ibiza-inspired escape. Thanks to their background in interior design, the inside is gorgeous, with terracotta-tiled floors, eye-catching artwork and enchanting trinkets lining the shelves. While it would've been easy to copy and paste similar designs throughout all five bedrooms, they've gone the extra mile to provide each one with a unique personality. Outside has been created to embrace the natural beauty on your doorstep – whether you're stretched out on sun loungers beside the pool, tucking into homemade pizzas fresh from the outdoor oven, or laid up in a hammock with a good book – it's impossible not to switch off and feel any stress ebb away on the Andalusian breeze.

Home truths

    While some bathrooms aren't photographed, we expect the quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.

    The villa is located in a rural spot and is accessed by narrow roads, so the owners will meet you beforehand to guide you.

    You'll need a car here – there's parking on-site.

    The pool isn't fenced, so children must be supervised at all times.

    Your host can arrange a cot and high chair on request.

    The villa is built over a single storey, so it may be suitable for guests with limited mobility, though there are some steps in the outdoor areas.

    The fifth bedroom is located in a separate annexe, with an en-suite bathroom and kitchenette.
