Surrounded by stunning Andalusian farmland, this sprawling home is the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway to southern Spain. You’ll have everything you need for an unforgettable stay here, from a rustic snug complete with its own library of books to a dreamy outdoor swimming pool that looks like it’s been plucked straight from the pages of Architectural Digest. Cool off with a quick dip in the glistening water or settle into one of the poolside loungers and gaze out at the hazy Andalusian mountains. Then when it’s time to eat, grab a seat on whichever terrace takes your fancy and dine alfresco on a home-cooked feast of your favourite tapas dishes. Delish. When you fancy getting out and about, you’ll find yourself within easy reach of Málaga city centre, the perfect place for a spot of sightseeing with all your favourite people. Get up close and personal with some of Picasso’s most famous paintings, go for a picnic in Málaga Park, or treat yourself to relaxing stroll along Playa la Malagueta, one of the Costa Del Sol’s most famous beaches. Then, when you’re ready to call it a day, head back to your gorgeous home from home where your air-conditioned bedroom awaits, ready to send you off to sleep.
