Surrounded by woodlands, this Andalucian style villa invites guests on a secluded stay in the prestigious community of El Madronal. Offering utter tranquillity, enjoy a resort-like experience where you can disconnect, unwind and tune in with nature – all while being close enough to the action of Puerto Banus (a fifteen-minute drive away) should you wish to socialise, dine out or hire a boat from the harbour. Since the sun is shining more often than not in Malaga, you'll likely want to spend most of your time outside lapping up the warm weather. You'll find plenty of space in the garden – whether it's perched on the circular day bed directly under the sun or shaded under the pergola at the alfresco dining area with a home-cooked lunch to feed your appetite. Oh, and of course, there is a swimming pool – perfectly secluded by an abundance of Mediterranean plants and trees all around. As you wander around the manicured gardens, it won't be hard to take in the breathtaking mountain views over the river valley – as they can be admired from just about every angle of the home. One of our favourite features of the villa is the charming main courtyard, dotted with citrus trees and a central waterfall. Overlooked by all of the first floor bedrooms, it presents a peaceful spot where one can listen to the birds sing amidst the fragranced air when passing through. Inside, the villa presents a luxurious and traditionally Andalucian aesthetic which serves as a dreamy set up for quiet mornings or afternoons with a book or board game. The opulent living area is equipped with Sky TV, a home library, a games corner, and more than enough space to work from home should your trip combine business with leisure. There is no better spot in the home during the winter months to gather around than the huge open fireplace with a glass of wine in hand.
