Gazing at Blue Horizons

Sometimes homes have that wow factor – the feeling of knowing you're somewhere special that you won't forget in a hurry. This is one of those homes. Situated high up in the breathtaking landscape of Sierras de Tejeda and Almijara, this home sits proudly at its own vantage point. You could be lounging next to the swimming pool with a glass of freshly-made sangria or serving up a bowl of paella on the terrace while dining alfresco until late, either way, you'll be treated to phenomenal views of blue sky touching blue sea. Waking up early to see the golden haze of the sky contrasting the rocky mountain peaks surrounding the home is a real sight to behold.

The inside of the home is as traditional as it comes. We love the ceiling beams and dark wood furniture giving this home an authentic Meditteranean feel. While your days will likely be spent outside in the sun, your evenings will be just as enjoyable gathering around the fireplace in the lounge. Despite being located high up the mountains, this home is still well connected to life around. The nearest village, Cómpeta, is 4.2km away and has all the essential supplies you need, along with opportunities for meals out. We're sure you'll probably be rushing back to this special home afterwards though.

Home truths:
*Access to the home is only possible via a paved lane, characterised by slopes and curves, which is typical of the area. We recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay
*Guests report the paved road leading to the villa is a tricky one
*The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times
*While the home is rather isolated, the nearest village with a supermarket is only 4.2km away
*There’s air-conditioning and heating in the three bedrooms and living room
