Villa Flory Spain
Holiday Home Rental Description
Offering a great blend of traditional comfort with contemporary styling, this classic three-bedroom villa provides a cosy and inviting base for up to six people beneath the Spanish sun near the ever-popular Puerto Banus.
The interior is characterised by its modern take on an authentic Spanish country style, as well as by its bright and open spaces that are simply perfect for socialising with family and friends, while the outside offers an extension of the living area so you can really make the most of the almost year-round sunshine on the Costa del Sol. We especially love the pool area surrounded by gorgeous terracotta-tiled seating areas on shaded verandas and bright swathes of bougainvillaea that fill the air with the distinctive scent of summer. There are also grassy areas where any little ones will love playing and a barbecue where the whole group can join together and enjoy a feast of locally sourced specialities as you look out over the panoramic view. The only thing missing from this equation is a glass of zesty sangria.
The villa also enjoys a great location, with the centre of Puerto Banus reachable in about five minutes by car and the well-manicured grounds of Los Naranjos Golf Club just a short walk away. Golf lovers may well rejoice as there are a number of courses nearby, while beach bunnies will also find themselves in luck here – with the golden stretches of sand which first made this part of Spain famous within easy reach too. Spend days sunning yourself at glamourous beach clubs, the waves of the nearby surf crashing softly at your feet; make some headway with that novel you’ve been carrying around; or stroll through the atmospheric marina and shopping areas of Puerto Banus – rubbing shoulders with the rich, famous, and beautiful who frequent these streets. The equally glam Marbella is also just fifteen minutes down the coast.
Despite the area’s reputation for glitz and glamour, this home – set back slightly from the bustling coast – feels natural and effortless, offering a taste of a simpler way of life, so you will be able to truly immerse yourself in this iconic region and discover new and exciting facets to it.We think the location of this home offers the best of both sides of the Costa del Sol, allowing you to make the most of the array of popular attractions and amenities which continue to draw crowds to these sun-drenched shores, including great golfing and shopping, whilst also affording you a taste of tranquillity in the area’s hinterland.
You’ll find yourself within walking distance of golf and country clubs, as well as a number of local restaurants, bars, and cafes where you can sample a surprising selection of cuisines from all over the world while simply soaking up the laid-back atmosphere.
The stunning coastline around luxurious Puerto Banus is just a five-minute drive away. So while the immediate area around the home feels somewhat sedate, the myriad beach clubs, bars, restaurants, and shops selling everything from high-end designer goods to artisanal produce are never too far away – making this place a viable option for a fun-filled getaway with friends as much as for a family-friendly break.
One of our favourite things to do here, aside from doing our best starfish impression by lying horizontal on the soft golden sands of the beaches, is to take a walk through the town’s beautiful marina: the thing that made Puerto Banus famous in the first place. Here, not only will you find loads of great restaurants and bars filled to bursting with the Southern European jet-set, but also lots of pretty traditional architecture that creates a wonderful contrast with the ultra-luxurious mega yachts which bob in the azure waters – not to mention the veritable catwalk of the famous and the fashionable.
Should you fancy something a little more low-key and authentic, then Puerto Banus’ weekly market might offer an antidote to the usual glitz and glamour. Held each week on Saturday in one of the town’s lively squares, you’ll be able to snag a bargain on everything from clothes to carpets, antiques to accessories, all while mingling with locals out to enjoy their weekend.
