About this apartment rental
Located on a narrow street in the historic town of Alhaurín el Grande, close to the green slopes of Sierra de Mijas, you'll find this spectacular villa.
Even the entrance to this home is awe-inspiring. Adorned with blue and white tiles, hand-painted by the lost artisans of Seville, this hallway gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "if walls could talk." You'll also find an original stone motif and lattice, dating all the way back to 1882. This home seamlessly blends historic features with modern-day living to create a space that's not only inviting but has an incredible sense of whimsy.
The blue and white theme is present throughout the home, adding pretty pops of colour that contrast beautifully with the terracotta brickwork and patio. Speaking of the patio, this area is most definitely the beating heart of this home, boasting multiple levels containing shady nooks to relax in, a dining table for alfresco feasts and a swimming pool complete with a trickling water feature.
Spend your days sipping coffee on the outdoor sofa, cooling off in the pool or tucking into brunch in the sunshine. When you fancy a change of scene, head into town to sample an array of international cuisines, pick up a few treats at the local bakery or have a wander around the 18th-century churches and chapels.
When you return home, head straight to the hammam for some much-deserved R&R. Allow the steam to cleanse your skin while the jacuzzi jets wash over any tired muscles. Evenings are best spent in the basement, where you'll find a pool table and bar. Have a friendly tournament or put your mixology skills to the test, before retiring to the home cinema to watch a movie on the big screen. Don't forget to make yourself a batch of popcorn to get the full experience.
Home truths:
*This home is spread out across three floors with internal stairs between them
*Parking here can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the town is on foot
*Your host can provide a cot and high chair for free upon request
*Some of the double beds here are made up of two singles pushed together
*At full capacity, two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the master bedroom
*Hen and stag parties, or any large groups of people under the age of 23, are not allowed at this home
*You'll have the whole home to yourself here, so there won't be any other guests using the pool or hammam
