Nestled in the gently undulating hills of the Andalusian hinterland, this home offers you a relaxing retreat that feels a million miles away from the usual hustle and bustle of day-to-day life. The interior of this home is simple, understated, and homely, providing you with a cosy and comfortable starting point for your Andalusian adventure. Step outside, however, and the home really comes into its own, calling out to you to plunge into the inviting waters of the swimming pool, or prepare a feast of regional specialities on the covered barbecue to be enjoyed in one of the alfresco dining areas overlooking the picturesque valley below. Perhaps the best time to really appreciate the majesty of the location is at sunset. Make your way out to the stunning terrace as the sun begins to dip below the horizon and admire the panoramic vista of this majestic landscape, watching as the cresting peaks of the mountains become dappled with warm evening light. The best accompaniment to the view? We think it has to be a glass of Sangria. Of course, one of the benefits of this rural location is the chance it offers you to explore the area on foot or bicycle, and the... range of hiking and biking trails that snake over the landscape ensure you can truly appreciate its beauty. The nearest beach is 18.3 kilometres away, and don't miss out on the chance to meander around the traditional whitewashed villages around Cómpeta either, discovering scenic squares housing authentic local eateries and bars serving beers alongside tapas.
