The Twins

With vibrant green views of the Guadalhorce Valley, the outdoor space of this home is set up with peace and tranquillity in mind – experience it from the moment you sit down for breakfast in the fresh morning air, or when you’re easing back in one of the arm chairs with a glass of wine.

Spend sunny days in and around the pool or by celebrating Spain with a Meditteranean feast, barbecued for lunch. Socialise in the shade as you devour pastries and sweet treats with coffee, read at the small bistro table, play table tennis, watch sunsets together in quiet wonder and head inside to light the fireplace when evenings turn chilly.

The living space is perfect for family movie nights, but the dining table is best for any board games you choose to bring along and play.

Days out can be spent at the golf course, or in the sand of the closest beach, but there are also plenty of hiking trails available for anyone looking to explore the natural beauty of the surrounding areas. Head out to Jarapalos or Pico Malaga – both reachable by car – and discover the native landscape before stopping off somewhere for an authentic taste of Andalusia.
