Considering this home is only a two-minute walk to Playa Grande, it’s pretty much inevitable that it would have water views from the balcony on the first floor, but it shouldn’t be taken for granted. Instead spend every morning out there enjoying a strong cup of coffee and breathing in lungfuls of salt-touched air as you admire a rather enviable horizon. Once all the late-risers are up, you can come together in the compact kitchen for a little fry up – maybe a Spanish tortilla with chorizo? – before mapping out the day ahead. For the most part, you’ll likely feel bound to this home, and how could you not? The crisp, neutral furnishings, complimentary warm wood elements, and various nooks to claim as your own. Give us that plush sofa and footstools and we’d probably spend the entire day there reading a good book. Then, of course, there’s also the desirable outdoor area – swim to your heart's content in the privacy of the courtyard and if you find the water a little nippy, jump out and soak up some rays from your position on the sunlounger. If you manage to pull yourself away from the views, you can wander down to the beach, but know that there’s also potential for adventure here. A scuba diving centre is a nine-minute walk away, and a six-minute stroll will take you right to a bowling alley. When you’re not barbecuing, you can sample any one of the local restaurants, all under ten minutes away on foot.
