Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A striking yet traditional single-storey holiday villa located amid the peaceful, natural tranquillity of the Torcal de Antequera in the Andalusian hinterland, this home is heaped with typically Spanish charm. You'll find a comfortable and cosy home-from-home that allows you to get out and experience the very best of southern Spain. With a perfect balance between inside and out, each space within this home feels well thought out and welcoming, offering loads of inviting seating areas both inside and out, where you can park yourself with a book for an hour or two, or simply luxuriate in a rare moment of stillness. Then of course there are those spectacular mountain views – we challenge anyone not to feel an overarching sense of calm whilst gazing out over that verdant landscape, dotted with majestically cresting peaks. There's also the pool area, which we think is simply too good to resist. Imagine waking feeling rested and refreshed in one of the charming bedrooms, before stepping out and feeling that glorious Mediterranean sun gently warm your skin. That's certainly our idea of a good way to start the day. As for the rest of it? Well, those actively inclined will find loads of hiking and biking opportunities in the local area, whilst the museums and attractions of Málaga are reachable with just a short drive. Or, why not keep the rural theme going and discover hidden gems among the whitewashed villages that dot the hillsides here, stopping for a taste of traditional tapas along the way?

About Antequera
Unlike the mountainous regions that characterise rural Spain, Antequera is formed mainly of plains interspersed with hills, fields and olive groves.

What it lacks in coastline, it makes up for in culture, boasting a mixture of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture among its narrow streets.
