Set snug in the rolling hills of scenic Torrox, when it comes to magnificent views, this place is worthy of a medal. Enjoying sensational vistas of the sparkling Mediterranean and cloudless skyline, you couldn't wish for a more awe–inspiring outlook – and thanks to your very own private terrace, you can soak up the sights at your leisure.

If you've been scouting for somewhere with ample space to soak up the rays, then you've officially hit the jackpot. As well as boasting magnificent panorama, the sprawling terrace is kitted out to the max. We're talking comfy sun loungers, an al fresco dining set up, cushioned seating area, luscious turfed area and, the biggest star of the show, a glistening azure pool. When temperatures soar, immerse yourself in its cooling depths before laying back on one of the sun loungers – sangria in hand, of course – and feel the warmth of the scorching sun kiss your skin. Bliss!

Inside the villa is an equally fabulous affair. With its terracotta tiled floors and warm palette of colours, there's also a bevy of charming decorative touches, giving this place an authentic 'home away from home' appeal, which we love.

We're sure you don't need us to rhyme off the reasons you won't want to leave your hillside haven, but if a stroll along the seafront is calling your name, be sure to take a trip to Calaceite Beach. Believed to be one of the best beaches on the Costa del Sol, your time will be well spent with the waves lapping at your feet and sea breeze blowing through your hair.
