This smart villa is located in the bustling beachfront area of Torre del Mar. Just a short walk away from the beach, it's the ideal place to begin your adventures in the Costa Del Sol.

Fans of chic, modern design will love the interiors – think soft shades and contemporary silhouettes. You'll love whipping up your favourite tapas nibbles in the kitchen, before flopping on the sofa with a glass of Rioja after a busy day. Or, you can head for the terrace and fire up the barbeque for a delicious freshly-grilled feast. And, best of all, you have your very own hot tub – sink in for a relaxing soak before bed.

From here, you can wander down to Playa de Torre del Mar in around five minutes, to spend a day on the sand. When you get hungry there are plenty of beachfront cafés and restaurants where you can refuel as you admire the sea views. And, if you're feeling adventurous, head inland for some hiking or mountain biking through the epic Andalusian landscapes.
