A modernised three-bedroom detached villa in Calahonda with a private pool, courtyard garden and outdoor kitchen, priced at €599,500. Within walking distance of the beach, shops and restaurants, it offers an interesting combination of independence, convenience and value for money on the Costa del Sol.

Living a little above Marbella doesn't necessarily mean compromising on convenience. Las Lomas de los Monteros offers an interesting balance of easy access to the coast, sea views and a quieter setting. Sometimes a short drive up the hill can offer more advantages than you might expect.

What do a new Jaguar and a modern interpretation of the Citroën 2CV have in common with buying a home? Perhaps more than you might think. Two very different cars, a few personal memories and some thoughts about how our priorities change over time. Sometimes having what suits us is more important than having more.

Buying more than you need can mean paying for things you rarely use. This small two-bedroom home in Costabella offers plenty of terrace space, private parking and low running costs, with the beach a short walk away.

A worthwhile property viewing is about more than checking rooms and features. It is an opportunity to question what you thought you wanted and consider how well a home really fits the way you want to live.
