Found in a pretty spot on the Andalucian coastline, this four-level coral villa is positively overflowing with spots in which to bask in the Spanish sunshine. The most obvious of these is the swimming pool that takes up one corner of the courtyard, but just next to this, you'll also find a couple of loungers and an alfresco dining area treated to some shade by a large parasol. Rather conveniently, the stone barbecue stands within arm's reach. As if that wasn't enough, there's also a balcony from which it's possible to see the region's terracotta rooftops and the Mediterranean Sea in the distance. Head back into the home and you'll find an elegant interior filled with pastel walls, house plants, dark wooden furnishings and chequerboard tiling. When you want to explore beyond the boundaries of the address, it's possible to reach the beach — Playa de Burriana, to be precise — in five minutes by car. In the opposite direction, there are hiking routes and scenic points aplenty in Cerros de Nerja, about a quarter of an hour's walk from the home.
