What kind of Estepona villas are available?

This allows plenty of outdoor space as well as a pool.
Architecture is another differential and like next-door Marbella, Estepona runs to a wide range of villa designs. In more established areas such as El Paraiso and Benamara, you’ll find homes in a typical Spanish style with pan-tiled roofs, wrought-iron grills and stucco façades. Villas in this kind of architecture has a classic appeal.
