Beautiful spacious villa with fantastic with private pool

Situated in an idyllic location, The Retreat is a luxury, 5 bedroomed villa set in its own olive grove, overlooking the stunning La Maroma mountain. Only 45 minutes from Costa del Sol's Malaga Airport and an hour from Granada airport. The villa has been furnished to the highest of standards and incorporates every modern convenience yet retains a typical Spanish style. Large private pool and terrace area provide the ideal location to relax. Tavernas and small local shops are nearby together with a myriad of tiny mountain villages to explore. 20 Minutes drive takes you to the Coast, a major shopping complex and all the entertainment facilities of the seaside resort of Torre del Mar. Further afield, Granada, Seville, Cordoba and Gibraltar are all within travelling distance. So, for location, The Retreat is simply perfect - nestling quietly in the mountains, with small shops and restaurants nearby, yet only 25 minutes from the bustle of the coastal resorts.
