La Torre (The Tower) stands out from neighbours in This property not only because of its structure, which resembles a watchtower you might find in the Islamic world, but also because of its situation. It is surrounded by an array of indigenous vegetation and enjoys perhaps the most spectacular views of the fertile Guadalhorce valley. Its position also gives it unrivalled privacy.

It has been built scrupulously following the traditional building techniques of this area using terracotta brick, stone, wood and cane as the basic construction materials.

On the ground floor there is a circular sitting/dining room where the main feature is an attractive fireplace. There is also a bathroom with a shower, a bedroom with two single beds and a fully equipped kitchen on this floor. A semicircular staircase winds round the central chimney leading you upstairs to the reading room where natural light floods in. This in turn will take you to the main double bedroom which has an ensuite bathroom with Jacuzzi and its own terrace.

For a truly relaxing holiday, you have a swimming pool (6m X 12m) which is fed by a pretty waterfall emerging from the vegetation. The pool is surrounded by a spacious lawned garden where the native vegetation has been preserved as far as possible. Another attractive option is to put on your trekking shoes and go for a walk in the breathtaking terrain surrounding you.
