Villa Las Artes

The main living area has a real sense of grandeur, thanks to its cathedral-like, vaulted ceiling, Bechstein piano, masterworks of art and superb décor. Rose-coloured chairs surround an enormous stone fireplace. A secondary living space – the ‘snug’ – is the cosy heart of the home, with soft leather chairs, a second stone fireplace, a large TV and surround sound system.

Finally, the heads of the house can also enjoy their own private living quarters within the master suite, which occupies one whole wing of the villa’s first floor.

Villa Las Artes offers as many dining options as it does bedrooms. Overlooking the Mediterranean, the formal winter dining room is an impressive space decorated in a palette of chocolate and cream, with an antique table, impressive hearth and Andalucian candelabra.

A single peep-through fireplace separates the contemporary, fully decked out kitchen from the villa’s casual dining space, the perfect spot for a lazy brunch over the Sunday supplements.

The outdoor, 15-metre saltwater infinity pool offers an uninterrupted view of the Mediterranean Sea, while the indoor pool was also cleverly installed on the top floor to take in the magnificent sea views. Sea-grass sunbeds surround the indoor pool, and a large daybed is perfect for lounging with a good book and a cup of tea. The adjacent sun terrace overlooks the beach and palms below.

Downstairs, the basement is entertainment central, decorated with 1940s jazz club art and offering a large slate-bed snooker table, cinema lounge, and climate-controlled bodega with bar. Windows reveal Roman water features from the pool just above.

The home spa offers a gym, treatment room, sauna, and Turkish bath, adjacent to the indoor pool with a jet stream for a swim workout.

An outdoor lounge space is perfect for warm or cool weather, courtesy of an outdoor fireplace that keeps things toasty on chilly spring or autumn evenings.
