Everything about El Ruiseñor says ‘grand’. From the moment you step into the hallway with its stained glass atrium-like stairway, expect to be blown away by the dimensions of the place.
If you have a look outside before you go indoors, you will see a garden with a five-a-side football net. This should give you an idea of how big the grounds are. If you would like to have a picnic in your own private ‘wood’ this is the holiday home for you – the villa has its own fruit and olive tree orchard.
El Ruiseñor is on the exclusive Urbanisation of La Alquería, it sleeps six in three beautifully furnished double bedrooms, all en-suite and all of generous proportions. Two of the bedrooms open out straight onto the pool area, giving a feeling of luxury and making it great for those who need living space on the level. Only one of the bedrooms is upstairs, the master, which overlooks the gardens and has its own balcony with seating for you to admire the views over the Mijas countryside.
El Ruiseñor has a fully equipped kitchen with an American style fridge freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, microwave and a dining suite, should you want to eat indoors. Double doors take you through to the cavernous lounge area. This room is very comfortably furnished with lovely sofas and stylish modern decor. Out through a set of French doors is a covered patio where there are two more seating areas. Al fresco dining is a must in Spain so just outside the kitchen door is another dining table and chairs where you can take in the sunset – maybe with a glass of sangria, the perfect accompaniment to natural beauty.
The views from the garden are breathtaking, skimming the mountains of the Sierra de Las Nieves on one side and over the Mijas countryside to Fuengirola on the other. The gardens are fabulous with some very old trees and lots of secluded corners to sit and enjoy a little peace and quiet.
This property has a large pool with plenty of loungers for lazy days relaxing in the sunshine.
Wifi payable at small extra charge
Mijas, which is just a few minutes away, is a traditional white village offering friendly restaurants, lovely narrow streets to explore, museums and local crafts to enjoy. Nearby is the sophisticated town of Fuengirola with its beaches, cafes, great shopping and a wide choice of entertainment.
El Ruiseñor will give you several holidays in one villa - great indoors and great outdoors.
