Spanish Sweet Pea

This wonderful villa is the perfect spot for an escape to the Spanish countryside. Whether you're planning to go on some adventures or simply relax, it's a beautiful setting for your trip.

As soon as you arrive, you'll be charmed by the traditional finca-style building, with its white walls and red roof tiles. Inside, you'll find wooden ceiling beams and rustic furniture that creates a welcoming, cosy atmosphere. On chilly evenings you can light up the fire and get toasty with a glass of Rioja. And, if you're visiting during the warmer months, you're truly spoilt with the fabulous outdoor space. Float in the swimming pool, then dry off on a sun lounger and refuel with a delicious alfresco meal – perfection.

From here, you can easily explore Andalusia's stunning landscapes on foot or on your bike. The town of El Borge is around ten minutes away by car, and is a marvellous example of the local architecture, with its pretty white-washed buildings. And, if you fancy a day trip, you can drive down to Malaga to spend some time on the city's sandy beach – it's roughly an hour away.
