Traditionally Spanish Décor with Exquisite Flourishes
Looking indoors all bedrooms are mini suites with the principal bedroom being the star of the whole house. The en-suite bathrooms are well lit, practical and perfectly formed.
The high notes of the interiors are the decorative wall murals – charming, wistful and reminiscent of Central America.
The exterior of the house harks to southern Spain’s Moorish past but the interior is heavily entrenched in traditional country Spanish style. Terracotta, stone, and wrought iron work are constant throughout. Mediterranean elements of blues, okra and browns are present with metal accents. Rich tapestries, hand painted murals, oversized art and rugs are added for an elegant touch.
The hacienda has a tower overlooking the front of the house, towards the pool. This enclosed room and two sun terraces make for a wonderful yoga/meditation space or can be set up for a romantic meal for two.
A Faux Moorish Triumph
The triumph of this villa largely lies outside in its location, central courtyard and picturesque bell tower. The setting truly is exceptional. The babbling fountains, the shady nooks, sun-soaked pool, whirlpool and your own off room terrace – there are plenty of places to rest and reflect. It would be easy to steal away for some alone time at Hacienda El Valle under a pine tree or in the second courtyard.
Gathering together is taken care of too, from the back terrace with outdoor fire, BBQ and dining table or in the central patio.
There are many hidden outdoor seating spots for a morning coffee or sundowning salute.
Getting active is easy with the private tennis court and pool with a small pool house chill out seating zone.
The pool area is a stroll away from the house. Mixing full sun, shade, bathing and comfy, reclining seating it’s a space to spend the day, all the while looking over mountainous countryside views. The chillout pool house is ideal for a lunchtime refreshment and the whirlpool dipping pool is just the touch after traveling.
The view through the valley, down to the pretty village and onto the lake or snow-capped mountains is something truly to behold. This is the romance, the reason you stay here. Yes there’s a private pool, whirlpool, tennis court and six mini suites but none of this compares to the dazzling location.
