Plan a family getaway to an unspoiled corner of the southern Spanish countryside and revel in the peace and tranquillity of this three-bedroom home set in the foothills of the coastal mountains that back the Andalusian capital of Málaga. Set on a private plot surrounded by mature trees, revel in the feeling of space and seclusion. With its Mediterranean climate, the home's beautifully tended gardens and refreshing saltwater pool will get plenty of use throughout the day, with a rustic brick barbecue and shaded waterside seating for idyllic alfresco meals. The interior offers elegant simplicity, with a couple of comfortable seating options facing toward an open fireplace, a generous eight-seater dining table and a beautiful vaulted ceiling adorned with spotlights and a chandelier. Head upstairs to find three individually decorated bedrooms that offer soothing sanctuaries to retreat to when you decide to call it a night. Embrace nature and plan early morning hikes through the mountains, returning home to refuel with lavish lunches and afternoons spent lounging by the pool. Alternatively, head to the coast for a beach day at any one of the resort towns that line the Costa del Sol, or enjoy a cultural day exploring everything that Málaga has to... offer – its burgeoning food scene is not to be missed.
