“Discover One of the BEST Villas in Andalusia” The Times UK
Mentioned in The Times UK and Architectural Digest Spain as one of the best luxury holiday rentals in Andalusia!
Villa Alta Vista is an impressive Andalusian style home perched on a hill and offers absolutely stunning views out to the Atlantic, yet only a short walk down to the 12 kilometres of white, pristine, sandy beaches of Zahara de los Atunes. This gorgeous home is fully equipped with air conditioning and central heating for year round use and is spread across three floors to provide guests plenty of space. Perhaps most enticing is the stunning pool area complete with an extra large luxury jacuzzi and heated pool overlooking the sea that comfortably accommodates 12 adults. Both the pool and jacuzzi have magnificent sea views and enjoy incredible sunsets. There is also a game room complete with foosball, air hockey and darts, as well as a fabulous outdoor table tennis area. Magnificent entertainment for everyone! The gardens have various fruit trees and the gated parking area easily accommodates 3-4 cars.
