Set right in the Sierra de las Nieves nature reserve, this Andalusian villa has been in the same family for five generations and recently received the European Charter of Quality Certificate. Passed down from heir to heir, this home has incorporated more modern touches over the years but the bones of it remain the same, adding a homely touch. Everything from the exposed-beam ceilings to the shuttered windows, ornate headboards of the beds, brick fireplace, and rustic kitchen pays homage to the villa’s beginnings, and we bet you can see yourself finding total and utter peace between the four walls here. If not, you can always venture outdoors. Walk towards the gadens where you’ll find many types of fruit trees, as well as vineyards and olive groves. Bask in the aromas as you sit down with a book and read under the Mediterranean sun. When you’ve been properly baked, opt for a quick dip in the pool to refresh before organising the barbecue lunch. Enjoy it alfresco and stay out, capturing photographs of the beautiful decorative outdoor stove and the creeping vines, as you enjoy drinks under the pergola. Marbella is a fairly short drive away, and so are four golf courses – good news for any golfing enthusiasts in your party. Spend sun-drenched days in the golden sand of the closest beach or get a new appreciation for the native fauna by exploring the many hiking trails.
