With its whitewash facade and terracotta roofs, this home may look like the stuff of provincial Andalucia, but it sits in the buzzing coastal city of Marbella. Despite its fairly central location (it’s a short walk to the Golden Mile and Marbella’s beaches), you’ve got a view of the rugged mountainscape looming above the perfectly manicured garden. The vast, turquoise swimming pool is the perfect tonic for southern Spain’s sultry heat. Sitting out on the covered veranda is a delight, either gathered at the long dining table, firing up the grill in the summer kitchen or relaxing on one of the plush sofas, gazing out over the lawns and palms of your secluded garden. Plus, there’s a Moroccan lounge that’s ideal for evening cocktails. Inside, you’ve got a grand lounge with a charming columned fireplace drawing the eye. Glass sliding doors show off a view of the verdant, green garden and lead straight to the terrace. Here, you’ll also find the indoor dining area with its plush, velvet chairs. If you prefer cooking inside, the kitchen has everything you need for self-catering, hidden in charming chocolate-coloured cabinets. Bedrooms are ultra-plush, some with walk-in wardrobes and their own seating areas and studies should you need to work remotely.
