Indoor and outdoor living blend into one at this stunning home in the heart of Marbella. Whoever designed this place clearly had a thing for natural light – windows and French doors feature throughout, meaning you can soak up views of your lush surroundings from almost any room in the house. The first-floor terrace isn’t bad either and is accessible via all three bedrooms, so there won’t be any squabbling about who gets to sleep where. And when it comes to activities, there’s plenty to keep you occupied, from the nearby golf courses to the private pool. What more could you ask for?

Home truths:
*This home is within walking distance of Nueva Andalucía, so a car isn't essential – if you fancy driving though, there’s parking space for one car on the driveway
*There are two floors, so this home may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility
*The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times
