If you’re looking for a home that’s designed for a couple or small group, but that still features all the luxuries you’d expect from a huge villa, then you’ll love this stunning cottage. This home is set in a quiet area just outside Alhaurín and is also just a short drive to the vibrant resort town of Málaga, so you can enjoy both the peaceful and playful parts of this stunning area of Spain. The home itself is oozing with Spanish style, with funky artwork and trendy furniture, and it benefits from some opulent touches such as the freestanding bath, the rainfall shower and of course, the stunning private outdoor pool. Wake up on sunshine-filled mornings and head straight out onto your pool deck to read a book in the poolside hammock. When the heat rises, dive into your private pool to cool off, and swim some lengths to get the blood pumping – we reckon it’s the best way to start your day. Come inside and cook up some huevos rotos to eat around your alfresco dining set. Head out to explore the fun restaurants, bars and cafes of Málaga, or head to the beach for sea swimming and sunbathing.... Return to your lush holiday home and pop open a bottle of Cava to enjoy while you lounge by the pool. As the evening sets in, pour a bubble bath and have a good long soak, or head back out to find out what the area’s nightlife has to offer.
