If it’s fun in the sun that you’re after, there are few places that could offer you more than this stunning traditional Spanish villa on the Costa del Sol. Set in the quaint town of Alhaurin de la Torre, just outside of the city of Malaga, this countryside plot makes the perfect sojourn for a family or group of friends looking to maximise their time outside. The villa itself features an array of elegant touches that offer both a sense of grandeur and warmth, whether you’re waking beneath the bedroom’s exposed timber beams, relaxing on the living room sofa before the intricately carved stone fireplace, or enjoying a cup of coffee in the courtyard with its central sculpture. Moving outside you’ll find the extensive garden with its patios, terraces, and pools (yes, there are three!) provides a sudden burst of energy. Here, you can play a game of ping pong, grill on the wood fire barbecue, swim a few laps in the main pool or enjoy some time splashing around with the little ones in the children’s pool. We’re sure you’ll quickly discover that this well and truly is a home with something for everyone.
