Only five minutes away from the labyrinthine town of Villanueva de la Concepción, this villa hands you a rural retreat without feeling too isolated. Sitting near the Sierra del Torcal mountain range, this home is perfectly placed for you to visit the El Torcal de Antequera nature reserve. Spring and autumn are the best seasons for hiking through these unusual rock formations, where you may be lucky enough to spot some of the local wildlife – so be sure to bring your camera along. As a true Andalusian farmhouse, this home flaunts its traditional vaulted ceilings and rustic interior design. Wander over the terracotta tiles into your living room and pick a book from the shelf. We think that mornings were made for lazing around your private pool, but your garden gives you scenic views at every hour of the day. If you're planning to stay here in the colder months, why not sip horchata with your loved ones during a fire-lit movie night?
