Description The Spanish Riviera: Mar Azul

This is a villa that will have even the most hard-to-please guests grinning. A lot of that is down to its fabulous views of the glistening Mediterranean and Isla del Portitxol, but special praise also goes to the peaceful swimming pool surrounded by treetops and the covered terrace complete with an alfresco dining table. Although some of the bathrooms are a little dated, we've only got kind words for the three-level layout – we particularly love the main bedroom with a sea-facing balcony. To top it all off, you don't have far to venture for beautiful gold-sand beaches, either.

Home truths:

*While there's a sofa bed in the main bedroom that could sleep an extra guest, the maximum occupancy is twelve guests
*As this home is spread across three floors, it may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility – however, there is a ground-floor bedroom here
*The lower-ground floor is only accessible from the outside
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
*Smoking may be allowed – please ask your host for more information
*Beach towels are provided
*There's on-site parking here – we highly suggest hiring a car to make the most of the location
