When looking for a trip away with the family, you want to stay somewhere special. You're making lifetime memories together, so it's important to pick out a home with wow factor. This villa has exactly that. Situated to the east of Malaga in Torrox, this home at the top of a hilltop will provide you with an experience you'll never forget. Marvel at panoramic views of the Meditteranean glistening in the distance from your own Andalusian watchtower. Whether you're tucking into a tasty continental breakfast on the terrace with freshly squeezed orange juice, or lounging next to the swimming pool with your favourite read, you'll be treated to wonderful panoramics in all directions of the ocean and the surrounding hilltops. Despite being situated high up in the hills, this home is still close enough to the life below to keep the family entertained throughout the trip. The nearest beach is only 4.2km away, meaning the kids will be able to splash around in the Meditteranean sea in no time. While you're down there, why not pay a visit to Torrox Costa (5.1km away)? This seaside resort is overlooked compared to the likes of Costa del Sol, but it's a beautiful place to explore. Here, you'll find plenty of bars, restaurants and shops. Make sure to pick up a souvenir to help the family remember the trip for years to come.
