Inside, authentic features take centre stage – think Cotto tiles, beamed ceilings and original farmhouse features. The beamed veranda, encased in glass, is the heart of the home – flooded with natural light from the windows that run the room's length, we expect you’ll spend most of your time here dining and unwinding with a cold glass of Albariño.

About Nerja

Nerja, perched on the eastern tip of Spain's Costa del Sol, remains one of the region's most cherished jewels, where the essence of traditional Andalusian charm seamlessly blends with the allure of its sun-drenched beaches.
