You’ll feel on top of the world at this cosy home on the outskirts of Cómpeta, a mountain town situated seven hundred metres above sea level. Boasting incredible views of the Andalusian mountains and the dazzling Mediterranean Sea, this is the perfect place to come home to after a day of hiking, offering a wealth of home comforts that’ll make you feel at ease the second you step over the threshold.

Inside, beamed ceilings and a traditional fireplace give this home a rustic feel, while the shaded porch and private pool at the back of the house make you feel as though you’ve been transported to your very own holiday resort. Kick back and relax with an evening aperitivo in the open air or stretch out on the living room sofa and lose yourself in a paperback from the bookshelf. Then when it’s time to eat, come together at the dining table for a tapas feast prepared in your fully stocked kitchen. Delish.

You’re not exactly at the heart of the action here, but there’s still plenty to keep you busy if you fancy a change of scenery. Go for a wander through the stunning Andalusian countryside, soak up Cómpeta's traditional architecture, or make a beeline for the coast to watch the sun go down over the Med.
