Danni Menzies is house hunting around Southern Spain’s stunning Lake Vinuela with Fleur and Steve, who are dreaming of buying a holiday home they can escape to regularly. The couple live by the coast at home, so for a change of scene, they’re looking for a countryside property with mountain views and a pool. They have a budget of £150,000 for which Danni has lined up five great options, but will they love any enough to put in an offer?
Lake Vinuela
About the area
Lake Vinela, in Malaga on Spain’s southern coast, is less than one hour from the province’s main airport, with flights from the UK taking almost three hours. Only a couple of hours drive from the stunning beaches of the Costa Del Sol, this crystal-clear water feature is actually man made, holding one hundred and seventy thousand litres of water, supplying the area’s beautiful towns and villages, as well as creating a picturesque setting perfect for enjoying this region’s sunny climate. The countryside surrounding the Lake is covered by quintessential olive groves, scattered across the sides of the Sierra de Tejeda mountain range. Quaint white-washed villages and towns dot the hillsides, where visitors can enjoy the quieter side to the Mediterranean way of life.
