Sunshine over Salada

Tucked into a quiet residential enclave in San Antonio, this villa is built around its outdoor life – a private pool framed by manicured gardens, sun loungers set out across the lawn, and a shaded dining terrace ideal for long, unhurried lunches. Inside, the living room has real warmth to it, with a fireplace for cooler evenings, and the hand-painted panels in the main bedroom give it a character you won't find in a cookie-cutter rental. Cala Salada beach is an eleven-minute drive, and the clubs and bars of San Antonio are on your doorstep.

Home truths:
* Air conditioning is only available in the bedrooms – the living areas are not air-conditioned, so evenings on the terrace or by the pool may be more comfortable during the hottest parts of the day.
* You'll need a car to make the most of your stay here. San Antonio is a five-minute drive away, and the nearest shop is around a five-minute drive, so day-to-day errands and beach trips all involve getting behind the wheel. Ample parking is available at the villa.
* The swimming pool isn't fenced.
* While the third bathroom isn't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
