Can Terra

An impressive pool zone has been artfully integrated into the surrounding gardens, ringed by pine trees and with a choice of big chill-out sofa and comfy daybeds. At 18 metres long, the swimming pool itself is generously proportioned and with low-chlorine salt-filtered water. A pool house features a well-equipped summer kitchen and gas barbecue, perfect for alfresco eating. Explore deeper into the woods and you’ll find a deck perfect for yoga or meditation.

The villa also features a big family-friendly kitchen with top-notch appliances – including two sink areas, two fridges, hot water Quooker tap and osmosis filtered drinking water tap  – plus a central island and long breakfast table that looks out to the garden. You’ll find another covered dining area just outside, with views to nearby San Miguel church. It’s the perfect spot for atmospheric dinners on balmy evenings, plus there’s a tableside log-burning fireplace if you need warming. A snug cinema room also offers satellite TV, Netflix, Apple TV and XBox console, while SONOS sound system means music both in and around the house.

And when you’re ready to turn in, the villa’s six air-conditioned suites sleep up to 12 guests, each finished with an understated elegance that combines crisp white walls with knotty pine furnishings. Every room also has its own bespoke bathroom, complete with toiletries made from native herbs, as well as private access to a terrace or the gardens; the master bedroom adds a soaking tub with views to the hills.
