Sitting just outside El Gastor in beautiful Andalusia, this inviting home with its lagoon pool and charming rustic interiors is ready to ease you into relaxed holiday living.

The open-plan living area is a vision of country traditionalism with its tiled floors, exposed brick walls and domed, beamed ceiling. There’s a fireplace here that can be lit on cooler evenings to be enjoyed on the sofa over a glass of glass, while the equally rustic yet comfortable bedrooms wait to drift you into a peaceful night’s sleep.

It’s the home’s outsides, however, that really steals the show. Not only is there a scenic balcony from which to enjoy sunsets dipping below the mountains but there’s a lagoon-like pool that beckons long afternoons splashing in its cooling waters. And there’s no better way to end a day than by gathering under the pergola for a barbecue feast.

Outside of your home, you’ve got a selection of restaurants and shops in El Gastor 2.7 kilometres away, while beautiful Ronda – a mountaintop city set dramatically above a deep gorge – is 34 kilometres away and perfect for a day trip.
