Located near the Andalusian coast, the single-level retreat in Nerja combines a beach pool with a more traditional interior. The pool area is bordered by walls and tall plants that ensure privacy, while the palm trees give it a tropical feel. We think you'll spend most of your time outside here – the shaded alfresco dining area, outdoor kitchen and sunloungers will see to that. While the style inside may not be everyone's cup of tea, the living room is a cosy spot for a nightcap. And should you tire of the beach pool, the nearest real beach is just a short walk away.

Home truths:
*The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
*The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There’s free parking here. The location may also mean the phone signal is patchy from time to time.
