Tucked away in hilly Andalusia, this rustic lodge is the ultimate summer home from home. We love the understated feel of the interior here – think warm, wooden tones and cabin-esque beamed ceilings – but it’s the outside space that really takes the cake with plenty of outdoor seating and a private pool for cooling off when temperatures reach their peak. We don’t know about you, but we could easily see ourselves spending all day out here, letting little ones and furry friends roam free while sipping a cool glass of white wine and gazing up at the palm trees above. If you fancy getting out and about, though, there’s plenty to keep you occupied nearby. Practise your swing at Lauro Golf Resort, go for a relaxing drive along the Costa Del Sol, or head into Málaga for a spot of sightseeing before coming home and treating yourself to a barbecue on the patio. What’s not to love? Home truths: *There’s free parking for up to two cars at this home *At full occupancy, you'll be sharing one bathroom between six guests *You'll need to bring your own toiletries with you to use during your stay *A high chair is available at no additional cost *Though there isn't a dedicated desk, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace *The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times
