Located on the north face of the majestic Sierra de Mijas mountain range, in the rural village of Alhaurin el Grande, this charming apartment invites you to experience a more laid-back side of the Costa del Sol. Affording an easy distance to the beautiful beaches of Málaga, you'll get to enjoy the best of both worlds here. Surrounded by fruit trees, corn fields and rolling vineyards, this home is perfectly placed for living the quiet life without being completely removed from the busy coastline. Whilst the interior offers all of the home comforts you could ask for, the garden is the star of this home. Covered in lush greenery, relax among the lemon and orange trees in the sunshine, or take a refreshing dip in the private pool. Mediterranean touches and incredible views plant you firmly in your surroundings. An outdoor kitchen complete with barbecue makes for delicious alfresco dinners, whilst the sunbeds are ideal for kicking back with a good book. The treehouse is bound to keep the kids entertained and get their imaginations going whist you unwind with a cup of coffee. When you do manage to tear yourself away from the garden, Alhaurin el Grande has plenty to... offer. Dating back as far as the Phoenician times, there's an abundance of historic architecture and cultural landmarks to discover, and authentic cuisine to taste.
