Nestled within the striking mountaintop city of Ronda, surrounded by ancient architecture, stone bridges and Roman baths, this charming villa is the perfect place to relax and take in the majestic scenery. You'll be right in the heart of the deep ravine that separates the old town and the new, surrounded by history, with a picture-pretty garden from which to look up and admire the view. Start your days with a cup of coffee on a sumptuous sun bed followed by a relaxing swim across the private pool. The home itself showcases plenty of traditional charm, with whitewashed walls and wooden beamed ceilings, but if you're keen to soak up as much culture as possible, there's plenty to explore outside of your own front door. Spend your days wandering around museums and the El Tajo gorge before driving to Cueva de Gato to cool off in the natural river pools. If you're feeling peckish, there are plenty of authentic restaurants where you can sample tapas and sangria, but we highly recommend buying some fresh ingredients – Ronda is known for its delicious olives – and heading home to fire up the grill. The rustic outdoor kitchen makes preparing local dishes... a dream, which are best enjoyed alfresco on the stone patio. Complete the meal with a Spanish dessert and a glass of wine while you watch the sunset over the city.
