Life is like a Box of Chocolates

Holiday Rental Description

Featuring a tasteful decor comprised of varying shades of brown and loads of natural fabrics and textures, this home feels warm, welcoming, and uniquely tactile. Step inside, and you'll feel instantly at home within its cosy interior, whilst simultaneously feeling at one within your surroundings and the Spanish sunshine streams in through large windows.

After a great night's sleep in the beachy-cum-Bedouin style bedroom, make your way out into the contemporary kitchen for a welcome morning coffee at the breakfast bar, or looking out of the French doors in the comfortable living room, as you think about what today might look like.

Take the just 50 metre stroll into the heart of the authentic Andalusian village of Alhaurín el Grande, the streets of which are lined with typical whitewashed buildings that house eateries and bars frequented by locals and tourists alike. Don't miss out on the chance to sample local Spanish tapas dishes, one of our favourites being Ensaladilla Rusa (a kind of Russian-inspired fish and potato salad).

Should you fancy venturing further afield, you can always head down towards the coast and the popular resorts that line it, including Torremolinos and Mijas, just 30 minutes away by car for a day of sun, sand, sea (and maybe some Sangria). Or, for something a little more active, why not explore the gorgeous mountain scenery that surrounds this traditional Spanish village on foot or by bike? Golf enthusiasts need not travel too far to tee off, as the nearest course is just six kilometres away.
