When you want to escape to the sunshine, you can’t do better than this delightful villa. It can be found in Antequera, in the rolling countryside hills of Andalucia. Admire the rustic views as you lounge beside the private swimming pool – the outside space here really is something special. A huge covered porch surrounds the villa, offering a splendid spot for your alfresco breakfast, an afternoon doze, or pre-dinner cocktails. Sun loungers surround the swimming pool, with a delightful Balinese-style day bed proving the most popular. Lie back with a good book, and enjoy the gauzy drapes fluttering in the breeze. Inside, the villa is warm and welcoming. A brick fireplace has pride of place in the living room, making this home a great choice for winter escapes too. It’s a bright and open villa – you’ll feel at home in no time.
