Enjoy an authentic Andalusian experience at this stunning mid-19th-century home, tucked away in one of Vélez-Málaga's oldest neighbourhoods. Heavily inspired by the area's centuries of North African influence, you may well feel as though you've been transported across the Strait of Gibraltar. A palm-fringed and terracotta-tiled courtyard with a glorious pool is the star of the show. Not only is there an intimate outdoor dining area close to the house, but at the far end, you'll find several sun loungers, a built-in brick barbecue and a couple of hammocks for indulgent afternoon naps. Despite the traditional design, the interior of this gorgeous getaway shines brightly throughout the day, thanks to an abundance of windows and an interior patio decorated with brightly coloured tiles. The ground floor also comes complete with a large kitchen/dining room where up to twelve of you can squeeze in elbow to elbow around the table, plus a triple room. Five additional bedrooms are located on the first floor, overlooking the interior courtyard and decorated with beautiful wall hangings, brightly coloured bedding and eye-catching lighting – each one offers its own unique charm. A couple even come with the added benefit of balcony access so you can sip your morning...
