Andalusia, Andalusia, Spain

REFNO:546333. This cute little home is just steps from Torrox Beach and immediately struck us as bright and fresh. Set in one of the area's easily recognizable striped apartment buildings, it faces southwest with wonderful sea views – best enjoyed with a glass of wine at the home's glass dining table. A studio apartment with more space than many we've seen, you'll have everything you need for a comfortable stay, with stylish, modern furniture and colourful wall art. There's a cosy sofa for two, a modern kitchen with all the mod-cons and there's even a desk if you'll be working during your stay. Choose between eating at the table or at the kitchen's breakfast bar, or head out in the evening to one of the numerous bars and restaurants on your doorstep. Outside, the building has a communal pool, gardens and tennis courts, and the dark sandy beach is just a couple of minutes away on foot. And if you're feeling like exploring further afield, it's an easy drive to Malaga in one direction and to nearby Nerja in the other. Home truths: *This is a studio apartment so there's no separate bedroom here *The pool, gardens and tennis courts are shared – the pool is unheated *Your home doesn't come with a parking space but there is plenty of public parking nearby – both free and paid *Although a car would be great for exploring further afield, we don't think it's vital for this location *You'll have laptop-friendly workspace at the desk *Tea towels and beach towels are not supplied
