Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Bright and quirky, this rural home – only minutes away from the heart of Estacion de Cartama – is the perfect escape for anyone looking to explore Malaga at a more relaxed pace. Start mornings off in the farmhouse-style kitchen by preparing breakfast for everyone to enjoy at the powder-blue dining table found on the shaded terrace. Stay out there long after, tying to decide what shape your day might take. Pledge yourself to the pool, either in or around, if you’re spending the day at home. Get some holiday reading done in the grassy nook of the garden, making sure to have a glass of wine or an ice-cold cocktail to hand. Of course, the living room also has a cushy sofa that’ll mould perfectly to you as you enjoy a cup of coffee, nose in novel. Away from home you can have lunch in town or go for a morning hike in the Senda del rio Guadalhorce area, only minutes away. Return with tired limbs, and run a luxurious bath before spending evenings stargazing or watching a movie together in the living room.
