This luxury villa in Andalucia to rent boasts it's own large, totally private terrace that basks in the sun from morning 'till evening, offering spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. Just a few steps away is one of three, beautifully landscaped outdoor pools, whilst a social club with indoor pool, sauna and fitness zone, a bar and bistro provide further incentives to laze away the days at El Casar, But resist temptation, for a ten-minute stroll away lies Benahavis, probably the most beautiful village on the Costa del Sol. Dating from the eleventh century it is traditionally Andalusian, but considerable local investment has ensured that it is more smart than shabby. There are around 25 bars, cafes and restaurants, offering everything from local tapas to internationally acclaimed cuisine, as well as a number of interesting shops and galleries. The small local park boasts an amphitheatre for concerts as well as a play area for young children and fun fitness apparatus for the simply young at heart. There is also a free sports complex with driving range, swimming pools, football pitches, tennis and paddle tennis courts which is a great place for youngsters to make friends. Golfers have access to an astonishing nine international courses within 5km or, for those who prefer their exercise without benefit of clubs and balls, there are many miles of unspoilt walks with opportunities to cool off in the river plunge pools. Further afield, of course, there's also a whole coastline to explore, with San Pedro, the nearest beach, just a few minutes drive away.
