Anyone wanting to avoid the bustle of the coastal resorts will appreciate this quietly located country villa. Approached by a cemented track along a valley between Frigiliana and Nerja, the attractively whitewashed property stands amid avocado, mango, lemon and orange orchards, offering guests a genuinely relaxing getaway.

Enjoying an elevated position, the house is cleverly appointed to take advantage of its lovely surroundings, with delightful terraces to the front and side, where the pool is located, commanding magnificent views over Frigiliana and the distant Mediterranean. The pool is reached along a tiled pathway and fringed by green countryside, making it perfect for long, undisturbed days in the sun. The furnished front dining terrace is also made to measure for lingering over alfresco meals cooked on the built-in barbecue.

The interiors are comfortably furnished with a mixture of sunny and muted shades and a high standard of modern fixtures. Designed in open-plan style, the spacious sitting-dining room is very inviting and links to the front terrace through patio doors. A stylish kitchen fitted in sleek dark units opens onto the dining area and there are three fresh and calming bedrooms, each tastefully finished. When you fancy a change from your country idyll, Nerja is eight kilometres and Frigiliana five kilometres away.
