A Touch of Tradition

A Touch of Tradition: Andalusia

Close to the sandy beaches and traditional Spanish "chiringuitos", this Colonial-style villa offers a homely retreat from which to explore all of Marbella's main attractions. Retaining some of its original features, arriving at the traditional hand-crafted entrance will transport you back in time. Boasting lush private gardens, start your day with a refreshing swim in the heated pool, or simply savour a cup of coffee on the patio before heading out to explore.

When it comes to things to see and do in Marbella, you won't have any trouble staying busy. The famous Puerto Banus marina is a short drive away, and is worth a visit to see the iconic luxury yachts sailing by the array of designer shopping boutiques. If you prefer something a little more low-key, however, take a walk to the beach and relax on the golden sand for a few hours. If you're a keen golfer, or always fancied giving it a go, you'll have 30 courses to choose from here, right in the heart of Europe's biggest golfing area.

After a long day of exploring, come home to spend some quality time with family and friends over a home-cooked meal. You'll have your own barbecue and outdoor dining area on the terrace, perfect for alfresco seafood dinners, followed by a few glasses of wine on the balcony while you admire the spectacular sunset.
