Perched on a hillside along the Spanish coastline, Villa Capistrano is right in the heart of rural Andalusia and dazzles with its quirky layout and gorgeous, layered stone and tiled exterior. Among the garden, bursting with bright flowers, is a burnt orange and cream canopy that shrouds your sunlit balcony and squashy sofas. Take a refreshing dip in the pool while looking out over the jigsaw of roofs that roll down to the beachfront. Nip to the supermarket on foot or, for an afternoon’s entertainment, visit the centre of Nerja and sample the cuisine in local restaurants.
