With glimpses of the Alboran Sea, a rustic-yet-refined approach to the interiors and a private pool to keep things cool on scorching afternoons, this villa is all about kicking back and relaxing. After a restful night’s sleep in the homespun bedrooms, rustle up your favourite breakfast in the fully-equipped kitchen. Bask in the warm breeze as you dine altogether on the balcony then pick a lounger and bliss out in the golden sunshine.

If exploring is on the cards, take the short drive into the heart of Nerja for a stroll along the waterfront promenade before making a beeline for the golden sands of Burriana Beach. For something a little different, why not take a tour of the Caves of Nerja? In the early evening, watch the sunset from the Balcón de Europa or seek out a traditional restaurant for local dishes and a glass or two of white sangria.
