This is one of those incredible villas at which it's hard to know what to be impressed by most. For starters, it won't escape your attention that the peaceful location in the Andalusian countryside is nothing short of beautiful – it makes for quite the backdrop for the wonderful outside space, which includes everything from an invitingly blue swimming pool, a stone barbecue offered shade by ancient trees, and plenty of alfresco dining spots from which to drink in the scenery. There's a lot to like behind the home's walls. The design manages to nail the oft-difficult job of retaining traditional features while adding contemporary touches, such as the glass walls and sleek blue kitchen surfaces. We love the cosy fireplace in the living room and the sunroom, but we'd be lying if we didn't say that the master bedroom is the stand-out space – not only is it treated to a private balcony and a kitchenette, but there's also a sauna in the bathroom. It's fair to say the home sits in a secluded location and you have to venture a little bit to reach some attractions. The nearest village – Villanueva del Rosario – is 7km away and has a couple of shops and restaurants. If it's bigger cities you're after, Malaga is 44 km away, so well within range for a day of gallery-hopping and relaxing on the beach.

About Antequera
Unlike the mountainous regions that characterise rural Spain, Antequera is formed mainly of plains interspersed with hills, fields and olive groves. At the heart of this area is the namesake city of Antequera. What it lacks in coastline, it makes up for in culture, boasting a mixture of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture among its narrow streets.
