Accessibility
Unfortunately this villa is not suitably adapted for wheelchair use.
Outside
The kidney-shaped pool has a very large terrace with countryside views and pretty lighting for evening use. There's a BBQ, sunbeds, shades, table and chairs, and pergola eating area. A private balcony terrace with table and chairs overlooks the pool and terrace. The villa also has a small private rooftop terrace. Occasionally the pool is shared with the owner and family, but only with the consent of villa guests as the privacy of guests is always paramount.
Coast/Beach
The Costa del Sol is only 1 hour away on excellent motorway access. Busy resorts such as Torremolinas, Fuengirola with its famous Tuesday street market and Marbella offer party nightlife and good beaches, or more quiet places can be found. Malaga has wonderful restaurants, indoor market, good beaches and the marina.
Golf
Hotel Antequera Golf (full 18-holes) is only about 30 minutes away and much more reasonably priced than those at the coast where there are many courses to choose from.
Skiing
Sol y Nieve (Sun and Snow) is the pretty ski resort in the Sierra Nevadas about 1.5 hours away. Snow season is long (October through to April)and the resort caters for all abilities, including a dedicated snow-board area. Husky dog sledge rides and snow bikes are for hire. The resort is a great favourite for walkers in winter and summer alike.
Special interest holidays
A small river borders the land and paddock area so we have a fantastic variety of birds. Guided walks and watches can be arranged on request. Experienced riders may hire the owner's horse for lovely rides through open countryside, or rides under tuition for the less experienced, or there are riding stables within 20 mins drive.

Malaga airport is 1 hour by good motorway access. Granada airport is 45 minutes away and now offers low-flight travel.
