Dressed in Vines

A Spanish countryside dream, this home is totally idyllic – prepare for it to take your breath away before you even step inside. Manicured lawns populated with olive trees are the most beautiful contrast to the cream stone draped in wisteria vines. If you aren’t listening to the sounds of nature and absorbing the sun by your private pool, you may be preparing dinner – the sweet spot of this home is tucked overlooking the rolling countryside. A beautiful outdoor dining area complete with a barbecue, terracotta sinks and a glass table lit by a hanging lantern, it’s something truly special. Gather your loved ones, have a chilled glass of wine and embrace the warmth of the summer evenings.

The same classic charm exists inside the walls of this country home. You may be surrounded by quaint original stone, but you can sink into your corner sofa and enjoy the flat-screen television. Flooded in natural light from the high ceilings and large panel windows, nature will wake you up after a restful night's sleep. Pour yourself a hot coffee and venture out onto your terrace, as the gentle sway of the rocking chairs with a warm blanket will be the most perfect way to start the day.

Home truths:
*Guests said that this home lacked basic essentials, such as salt, pepper and oil. There was also only a starter supply of toilet roll and no cleaning products. We'd recommend stocking up on arrival, or bringing a few bits and bobs with you.
