In the lively resort of Calahonda, this charming Spanish villa boasts its own private pool that can be heated for an additional cost. There's space in the garden for alfresco dining and sunbathing, and the veranda offers some shade in the hot summer months. We think it's a great pick for families and friend groups, and the neighbouring villa can be rented alongside this one to accommodate even larger groups. You'll definitely want a car here, whether for enjoying days out at the beach or visiting Marbella or Fuengirola.

Home truths:
*There is space to park for free in front of this home. Due to its location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
*Your host can provide a complimentary cot and high chair – this must be requested at the time of booking, and you’ll need to bring your own cot linen.
*The style of this home might not be for everyone. Some parts look a little dated.
*This home is on a single level with no stairs.
*The pool is unfenced, so children will need to be supervised when playing outside.
