In the foothills of Sierra de las Nieves, you’ll find the historic town of Alozaina where, if you were to walk along the winding streets, much of its storied past is quite plain to see in Latin-inspired churches and the many monuments. Make your way around, stopping off at cafes or restaurants when you’re not exploring one of the many hiking trails of Málaga.

Return home after a morning out, preferably with little roscos de vino or cinnamon and sugar covered pestiños and sit down for a cup of coffee together at the dining table. Bright and homely, the blend of rustic comfort and more modern touches make for the perfect backdrop to a relaxed holiday where you can focus on relaxing, spending quality time together, and making memories.

A lot of those will likely be made in the beautiful outdoor area where you can swim with the striking rolling landscape in the background. Take nibbles out to enjoy with fortified wine or enjoy a bit of self-care by reading in one of the sunloungers.

Even from inside you can keep an eye on the outdoors by gazing through the large window in the front room. With a second living space to spend evenings next to a crackling fire, this home is comfort and style rolled all into one.
