Step into the calming charm of our villa, our latest gem. Thanks to its elevated position, this villa enjoys up to two extra hours of sunlight each day compared to surrounding properties. From the spacious terrace, gaze out over a panoramic landscape that gently fades into the blue horizon of the Mediterranean, just a 20-minute drive away.

 

The villa combines modern comfort with Andalusian character—bright, airy, and designed with simplicity and style. Every corner invites relaxation. Whether you’re stretched out on a sunbed by the large private pool, curled up on the couch, enjoying a siesta under the oak tree, or gathered at the handmade wooden table on the shaded terrace—there’s a perfect spot for everyone.

Breathtaking mountain and sea views

The villa is all about unhurried moments. Space, peace, and privacy let you truly unwind: read a book, take a dip, enjoy deep conversations, or simply close your eyes and let the warm sun and fresh mountain air work their magic.

As dusk falls, the sky turns a soft rose over the Sierra, and the silhouettes of trees stand still in the gentle breeze. It’s the perfect time to pour a glass of wine and lose yourself in the stunning stillness of the sunset.

Recently renovated, the villa promises a restful and carefree escape, where comfort and tranquility go hand in hand.

Welcome to Andalusia

DSC_1862 (Medium)

A crossroads between Europe and Africa, and the meeting point of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, Andalusia has captivated civilizations throughout history.
Covering over 87,000 km², this southern Spanish region boasts an incredible variety of landscapes—from the fertile valleys of the Guadalquivir River to the snowy peaks of the Sierra Nevada, the volcanic deserts of Tabernas, and lush mid-mountain terrain.
In just 40 kilometers, you can go from alpine scenery to tropical coastal climates.

Its 900-kilometer coastline is home to beautiful beaches, charming seaside towns, and historic cities full of life. Andalusia is both modern and welcoming, with well-developed infrastructure—yet it remains deeply connected to its rich cultural roots and historical heritage.
It’s no surprise that Andalusia is the top travel destination for Spaniards and one of the most beloved by international travelers.
Andalusia awaits you… and you’ll fall in love.

Prime location

Our villa offers privacy and tranquility without feeling isolated. In under 30 minutes, you can be at the beach or enjoying fresh seafood at a seaside chiringuito.

Málaga, Granada, and the picturesque white villages are within easy reach. The Axarquía region—between Rincón de la Victoria and Nerja—is a hidden gem filled with diverse landscapes, a mild climate, and authentic local life.

The surrounding area is dotted with tapas bars, restaurants, and small shops. Larger supermarkets are a 20–25 minute drive away.

A true gastronomic experience

Dining Out: This region is a paradise for food lovers. Don’t miss the Michelin-starred restaurant of José Carlos García in Málaga.

Wine Tasting: A knowledgeable local sommelier can bring his favorite Spanish wines directly to the villa—or guide you through one of the region’s finest bodegas.

 

Cycling Adventures: Explore by bike, with or without a local guide. Need bike rental? Just ask—we’ll arrange everything for you.

Sea & Beach: Spend a day soaking up the sun on the beach, go diving, or enjoy a private speedboat ride with a skipper.

The sunrise that conjures the morning mist over the mountains like pink paper clippings; and then swimming, and then breakfast in the sun at the beautiful tree table. And that's just the start of your day. ZX22, a house that you immediately hold in your heart. For the elect, but accessible! Frank & Marlou

What a wonderful holiday in this special villa. The view of the sea and the mountains is phenomenal, wonderfully quiet. You immediately feel at home here but also have a hotel feeling. We also loved all the activities. Thank you Veerle & Bert for sharing this. Family Smit
