Dreams of Atlas

Holiday Rental Description

A fabulous location like this deserves an impressive home, and this place near Tarifa doesn't disappoint. A luxurious villa packed with Spanish charm, it's the perfect setting for a fun and relaxing stay overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar. With just a short walk to the beach (around twenty minutes or a five-minute drive) and with a choice of swimming in its huge heated indoor pool or the pretty infinity pool on the terrace, it's got all bases covered.

Set in a rural spot in La Peña, just a fifteen-minute drive from fascinating Tarifa, here you'll be at the most southerly point in Spain. Not only can you see across the Strait to Morocco's Atlas Mountains but you can even take a ferry there for a day trip to the port of Tangier. Or head along the coast to Gibraltar to see the famous rock.

Inside, this picturesque place is elegant and comfortable, with terracotta tiled floors, all-white walls and arched windows and doorways. Three lounge areas mean there's plenty of indoor space for socialising or relaxing, as well as a covered terrace and outdoor seating spots. Large, lush gardens offer space to roam and perhaps you could pick some oranges to juice for breakfast.

Often used as a yoga retreat, you'll also spot the studio – set up with table tennis – and there's a games room with a pool table, darts and table football to entertain all the gang. There's even a massage room if you feel like hiring a masseuse. And in the evenings, gather together on the terrace for a barbecue and watch the sun go down.
