Located in the Sierra de las Nieves, a UNESCO Natural Park and Biosphere Reserve, this rustic villa feels laid-back and peaceful. Inside, your host worked with the materials of the land, namely wood and stone, to make the place feel rooted in its surroundings. Expect timber ceiling beams, antique furnishings, and cool terracotta tiles underfoot. Outside, the shaded terrace is the perfect spot for lazy breakfasts and early evening glasses of wine. Spend warm afternoons lounging on a daybed, basking in the heady scent of rosemary before plunging into the inviting pool. After drying off in the sunshine with a spot of lunch, take the 1.5km trip into Guaro for a stroll around the narrow, winding streets or jump in the car and head south to glamorous Marbella. Stretch out on the golden sands of Playa de Venus then seek out a waterside restaurant for a slap-up dinner you won't soon forget.
