That's Checkmate

That's Checkmate: Andalusia

Bold in terracotta and surrounded by vibrant green vegetation, this home is certainly eye-catching, but it’s just as big on comfort. Discover it for yourself by curling up on the sofa every morning as you enjoy a cup of coffee while the rest of the group drag themselves out of bed. Tackle breakfast duties together in the generous kitchen and once you’ve finished with your creation, enjoy it alfresco.

Though cosy inside, the outdoor space is the real jewel in this home’s crown. Can you see it? Sunny mornings spent reading on the sunlounger and late-night swims in the private pool? Wine and nibbles around the bar as the fire burns logs to white – the perfect time to start grilling – and coffee at the outdoor dining table? Life can be lived at its fullest in this tranquil space, but if you’d like to explore further afield, you can explore some of the beautiful hiking trails through the countryside.

Golfers can head to the course only a short drive away. Visit Alhaurín el Grande or Alhaurín de la Torre, stopping off at a shop to stock up on marshmallows to roast on the fire as you enjoy a bit of stargazing later on.
