This recently built home offers gorgeous views of the lush greenery and majestic mountains around you, and is designed so you can enjoy a full day of sunlight, from sunrise to sunset. The outdoor area is colourful and fun, with a private outdoor pool, a funky hammock area, and an impressively green lawn. The inside of the house is expertly designed too, with each bedroom benefitting from their own en-suite bathroom and their own terrace with seating. It's ideally located for exploring Alhaurín el Grande, as well as the beaches of the Costa del Sol, based just a short drive away. Wake up on sunny Spanish mornings and head out into your garden to read a book on the day bed as you watch the sunrise. As the heat rises, cool off with a dip in your private pool, before enjoying a scrummy Spanish breakfast of churros with an iced coffee. Head to the hammock area to enjoy some peace and quiet while you take in the views. Grill up some Spanish sausages on your barbecue and tuck in around your alfresco dining set. When the evening comes around, watch the sunset from your private terrace with a glass of... Cava in hand, and toast to your lovely getaway.
