This apartment is located in the village of Casares, about half an hour northwest of Estepona and only a short drive from Sabinillas Beach. The terrace steals the show with panoramic views of Gibraltar and the coast of Africa. There’s a dining table and barbecue for alfresco meals and a comfortable seating area for reclining with a glass of something chilled. Inside, the place is simple yet functional, and while the bedrooms are basic, they’re certainly comfortable.

Home truths:
Due to the recent droughts in Andalusia, the swimming pool at this home will unfortunately be out of use for guests until further notice.
