Casa Dana

With beamed ceilings, big four-poster beds and bags of space indoors and out, this family villa oozes quality and character. Floored in polished marble, the house has a country-style kitchen, open-plan to the dining area, and a colourful sitting room complete with an open fireplace. Double doors lead to a terracotta tiled terrace, furnished for al fresco living and overlooking the peanut-shaped pool in its gated and lawned garden. And beside the heatable swimming pool, a delightful loggia has big chairs and a day bed, all piled with pink and blue cushions in a modern twist on a Moorish theme. Cook service is available to complement the very relaxing atmosphere, and the villa’s seven bedrooms are thoughtfully furnished to make flexible accommodation for families or groups of friends. Set on the hillside, 5km from Gaucin’s shops and restaurants, Casa Dana is reached via a private track off the road from the coast, where Estepona beach is a thirty minute drive away.
