Wild Tulips

This dreamy home in the Andalusian countryside is perfect for a rural getaway. Whether you want to do some exploring or just chill out in this gorgeous setting, you're sure to have a fabulous time here. Step inside, and you'll find a welcoming space full of rustic charm. You'll fall in love with the pretty tiles in the kitchen, and the cosy living room complete with a traditional fireplace. The outside space is just as fabulous, with a sparkling swimming pool as the centrepiece. Take a dip, then dry off on a lounger in the warm Spanish sun. And, when evening rolls around, you can fire up the barbeque for a delicious alfresco feast on the covered terrace – don't forget the Cava. If you're feeling adventurous, lace up your hiking boots or hop on your bike and hit the trails snaking through the stunning landscapes. The town of Gaucín is roughly ten minutes away on foot, where you can stroll through the winding streets and admire the pretty white-washed houses. And, if you fancy a day trip, you can drive to the coast in around half an hour for a day on the sand at Playa de Sabinillas. Home truths: *You will need a car to get around – there's space to park at the villa *Access to the house is via a paved lane *This is a fully-fenced property so it's suitable for younger children – your host provides a baby cot and high chair *The bedroom on the ground floor and the living room are provided with a warm/cool air-con unit *This home is short on drawer space, so we'd recommend packing light *It's worth noting that the mattresses and bed linen here aren't particularly plush
