This freshly renovated home in Cartama uses a minimalist and modern style to maximise the internal and outdoor space, offering a relaxing setting away from the hustle and bustle. The outdoor area is just as charming as the interiors – unwind and rest, spend some time with your loved ones in the shade of the trees, and even try your hand at basketball before continuing to the 4-hole mini golf course. Lie by the pool, soak up the sun, and admire the crystal-clear waters that give a spa-like experience inside the confines of your holiday home. When noon arrives, prepare a barbecue, dine alfresco beneath the pergola, and wander among the farm fruit trees to taste the fresh and ecological fruits. Inside, you'll discover a peaceful atmosphere of neutrals with a hint of yellow – unwind on the soft sofas and chat away. While the bedrooms provide the best in comfort at the end of the day. The proximity to Malaga and its amazing landmarks, Torremolinos with its famed chiringuitos, and the breathtaking landscape of the province's interior allow you to experience varied day trips every day. Explore Malaga's trendy bars and food markets, before sitting next to Gothic cathedrals and Roman...
