Casa del Pino is a three-bedroom townhouse in Azahara II, frontline to Aloha Golf, set on a quiet cul-de-sac at the centre of the Nueva Andalucía golf valley.

Built in 1983 and comprehensively renovated to an exacting standard, the house is finished in microcement, natural materials and designer lighting throughout. Hot and cold air conditioning runs throughout, with underfloor heating in the bathrooms downstairs.

The open-plan living room and fully equipped kitchen — with wine fridge — both open onto a generous front terrace, which in turn connects to the barbecue area and the outdoor dining space, so cooking, eating and sitting out all happen on the same level. Beyond it lie the gardens, the golf course and the Mediterranean. A private patio at the front of the house gives a second, more sheltered place to dine or have a sundowner.

There are three bedrooms and three bathrooms, two of them en-suite. The principal suite has a dressing area and its own bathroom; the third bedroom is currently arranged as a study / single guest room and works equally well either way.

The whole top floor is given over to a large rooftop solarium, laid out with sun loungers and taking in a full 360-degree panorama — sea, golf, the surrounding mountains and La Concha.

The community is gated, with a pool and mature gardens, and offers direct access to Aloha Golf Club via a private members' gate. Puerto Banús, international schools and the beach are a few minutes away.
