POOL

The pool is really large - 10 by 5 metres - big enough for proper swimming or for a large group to splash about in, and deep enough for diving. There are sunbeds and a cane shaded canopy, and fantastic views from the poolside "mirador" (viewing terrace).

GARDENS & TERRACES

There are acres of space outside, including your own private olive groves to explore, huge oak trees to laze under, beautiful sunny gardens, bougainvillea and jasmine and vine shaded terraces.

There is an outdoor kitchen with barbecue and dining area for eating alfresco and dining under the stars.

LOCATION

Secluded and tranquil, Villa Amapola is the perfect place to relax and get away from it all, an ideal retreat for outdoor pursuits like horse riding, bird watching and hill walking, and within easy access of the local village of Periana, local tapas bars and some excellent restaurants.

The beaches of the Costa del Sol, with water sports, ice cream parlours and some fabulous seafood restaurants are only a 20 minute drive. It's an hour to sightseeing at Granada's Alhambra Palace and the shopping, museums and galleries of Malaga's historic centre.

Recommended outings and expeditions include touring the white hilltop villages of the Axarquia, a visit to El Torcal national park, or a day trip to Cordoba, Ronda or Seville.

We can advise on trips, restaurants and activities and are happy to help with reservations for the Alhambra Palace. Just ask us for details – we are happy to help!
