Surrounded by Andalusian countryside, this villa guarantees a peaceful stay for a group of friends or large family. Inside, it’s rustic and homespun with terracotta tiles, timber ceiling beams and a collection of bright, soft furnishings. We loved the living space with its two seating areas – curl up on the cream loveseat with a good book or spread out with your loved ones on the patterned sofas. When you’re ready for something to eat, chop, season and marinade in the fully-equipped kitchen then grill up a storm on the barbecue.

Spend lazy afternoons floating about in the private pool or relaxing with a glass of something fruity on the covered terrace. If you’re keen to get out and explore, drive for 27 kilometres into the heart of Málaga. Make a beeline for Malagueta Beach then stroll around the charming old town. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, seek out a laidback eatery for a traditional paella.
