Mi Arma

Holiday Rental Description

Nestled between the Andalusian mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, this villa has a truly idyllic location. While you would think the stunning scenery is its main lure, that's not the case here – this fortress-like home is remarkable inside and out.

The peaceful outdoor space is undoubtedly a highlight. On hot days – thanks to the Costa del Sol climate – you can cool off in the pool and dry off on one of the surrounding loungers, all whilst soaking up the impressive landscape vistas. Head to the shared tennis courts to admire the arched architecture – they’re worth visiting even if tennis isn’t your forte. As evening comes around, cook up a smoky tapas feast on the barbecue for your loved ones and make the most of the stunning scenery.

When you head inside, you won't be disappointed. The open layout makes the interior feel bright and expansive, while there's an eclectic array of original features dotted about the place that adds a good dose of authentic character. As well as looking the part, it's also really rather cosy – come evening time, why not treat yourself to a soak in the bath before snuggling up next to the fireplace with a glass of Rioja?

When it comes to seeing a little more of the local area, the golden sands of Playa de la Caleta de Vélez are easy to reach in the car, while you can head into the mountains for unforgettable nature walks. If you’re in the mood for a day trip, the centre of Malaga will take you under an hour to get to when you fancy a day packed full of museums and historic architecture.
