Nestled in the peaceful Axarquia countryside in the foothills of the Sierra de Almijara and Sierra de Tejeda mountain ranges, this charming villa is surrounded by herbaceous hills. To stay here is to adopt the Andalusian mentality in a truly relaxing and therapeutic way. This home offers authentic rural features and contemporary comforts – terracotta floors, original tiles and picture-frame windows that let you invite the soft breeze in alongside plush furnishings and ambient light fixtures. Make the most of your mornings with a few strokes in the crystalline pool before a juice refreshment under the shade of the pergola. Prepare a fresh breakfast spread in your dynamic kitchen, then gather together in the outdoor dining space. Your day can take multiple routes – whether it’s spent stretching out on the loungers overlooking the parking Mediterranean with your long-awaited summer read or enjoying a glass of sangria soundtracked by local bird song. Put on your walking boots and head out to explore the hiking trails, making sure to stop off at Puerto de la Graja, an observation deck with breathtaking views. Or, head into Torrox and dine away in one of the town’s tavernas overlooking the lighthouse.
