There's something for everyone at this cosy villa, nestled between Mijas and Fuengirola. Each morning, wake up with the sun in the comfortable bedrooms and enjoy a freshly squeezed juice and hearty breakfast in the coastal air. While away the afternoon in the pretty garden – take your pick between snoozing on the lounge chairs, splashing in the pool or swinging in the hammock. Either way, you'll be set to make the most of the Spanish sunshine. When you need a break from the rays, retreat to the terrace and sink into the outdoor sofas – the perfect spot for a cocktail or cup of tea – or head inside to the air-conditioned living area and sprawl out on the cushy sofa. Feeling peckish? Show off your grilling skills in the tiki-style outdoor kitchen and tuck in around the alfresco dining table. After dinner, keep the conversation flowing with a bottle of local wine as twilight falls – what better way to toast your getaway? If you're keen to explore, Marbella and Málaga are less than an hour away by car – both are great options for sightseeing and offer a bevvy of restaurants, boutique shops and bars to discover. Of... course, you can't visit the Costa del Sol without a trip to the beach. The nearest is in Fuengirola, so slather on your suncream, grab your beach towel and get ready to feel the soft, white sand between your toes.
