Although this villa is only ten minutes' drive from the Malagan coastline, the green hillsides that surround the address and the sense of seclusion make it feel a lot further inland. As such, it's remarkably easy to relax here, especially in the outdoor area complete with a swimming pool and a Balinese bed that overlooks the glistening water. As well as that, there's also a large stone barbecue and a table on the verandah, both ready and waiting for long summer evening dinners. Although the Andalusian climate means that you'll inevitably try and spend as much time outside as possible, the home's interior is sure to impress when you finally get around to heading inside. There's definitely a traditional feel to the design, with terracotta tiles underfoot, wooden finishes and whitewashed walls. The double-aspect glass doors in the living space are also particularly generous when it comes to natural light, too. When it comes to seeing a little more of the local area, there's a great choice of small towns and villages that lie a short drive away from the home, including Algarrobo ten minutes' drive away. There are larger cities within easy reach too, such as Malaga itself only forty minutes away by car.
