The villa is newly reformed, maintaining the appearance of an old property, with modern comforts.

The outside has terracing to three sides, with views as far as El Torcal about 20 miles away and a stretch of the coast about 7 miles away.

This is a very rural area, where the locals still maintain their olive groves and vines. You often see the shepherd with his goats and sheep, and horses and mules are used to plough and transport the produce to the village.

It's a place to come and unwind, and as one friend put it "just listen to the silence."
