Consistency is the key to Villa Estefania’s décor. And with this comes a sense of comfort, familiarity, and accessibility – certainly, a stylish but relaxed home away from home.
Expect traditional design with lots of curved, classic details, sumptuous furnishings, and an abundance of accessories.
The overall feel is rooted in European sensibilities. There’s lots of finished wooden furniture (think Queen Anne chairs, cabriole legs etc.), large open fireplaces are the focal point of the living room and study, and welcoming dark, warm tones are layered on top of a neutral palette.
The timeless style takes cues from the 18th and 19th centuries. Incorporating classic art, antiques, and furniture with history, you’ll stumble upon some pretty cool pieces throughout the house.
There’s a generous-sized, open plan kitchen and casual dining room, drawing room, living room and formal dining room on the first floor. This level leads out to a covered terrace where there’s more seating and a BBQ area.
You’ll find architectural details like crown moulding, columns, and wood-panelling used throughout Villa Estefania. It adds opulence to this large holiday villa in Marbella but without it feeling ostentatious or overly showy.
As expected from a villa of this calibre, the kitchen appliances, technology and bathroom fixtures are all of a top specification.
The traditional design is carried outside in this semi-rural setting in the most exclusive La Zagaleta nature reserve. Upon entering, the short driveway leads into a charming Andalucian courtyard with a fountain and an impressive entrance to the house itself.
To the rear of the house there’s covered seating spilling out from the dining rooms and a beautiful lawn with steps leading to the pool on the lower terrace. The countryside view unfolds with every step outside.
Villa Estefania has the most wonderful wrought iron balcony with flowering climbers framing the upstairs bedroom windows and Jacuzzi area. It’s just like a Philip Hale painting – an impressionist dream.
There’s another comfortable seating area here for guests to rest together in the shade outdoors. It really is heavenly.
Inside, the tasteful décor with rich coloured accents is restful, soothing and comfortable. Accessories are grand, with the likes of candle holders, vases, chandeliers, and china objets dotted around.
There are plenty of living space options to choose from, all symmetrical and homely, centred around a focal point like a fireplace or large oil paintings.
Outside. the pool will almost certainly be the main draw throughout the day. The poolside loungers are comfortable and there’s just the right amount of shade versus full sun options.
The lawn leads from the covered terrace and Jacuzzi area, gently sloping down to the pool area and the expansive mountain views.
In the basement, conveniently tucked away but a notable extension to the first floor living areas, is the cinema room, wine cellar, games room and fitness studio.
Sitting away from the other living areas, the office is a generous size with lots of natural light, a fireplace, sofa and chairs.
With a commercial hob and two pro grills, two ovens, fridge, freezer, wine cooler, dishwasher and coffee machine, the country-style kitchen is wonderfully practical.
There’s a breakfast bar with 6 stools on the kitchen island – ideal for sociable cooking. This kitchen is part of a dining room seating 12 people on a banquette, country-style table. The room is light and airy with lovely views out over the mountains.
There are two other places to dine or have a snack. The first is a small table seating 6 on the terrace next to the BBQ which is directly outside the kitchen/dining room. And secondly, there’s a more formal dining room off from the living room seating 6-8.
There’s plenty of room to kick back and relax, both as a group or on your own for quiet time. Down on the lower ground floor, there’s a full gym studio with running machine, multi-function cable and pulley training equipment, free weights, cross fit trainer and room for Pilates.
If that’s too energetic, then the plush cinema room with comfy sofas and pool table games room next door might be more your speed.
The location in La Zagaleta nature reserve means there’s little noise other than birdsong and busy bees. Flinging the doors open in the morning and wandering down to the pool area for a swim almost feels like getting back to nature. Embrace the private countryside setting in the 8 person Jacuzzi for loosening joints and a little bit of water therapy in a beautiful setting.
Bedroom 1: The Master suite has the 2nd floor to itself. Sitting to the rear of the house it has a private terrace with a table and chairs overlooking the garden, pool and mountains.

Bedroom 2: With its Miele coffee machine ready for morning coffees on the private terrace, this is more like a 2nd master suite.

The living room has a 50” Samsung TV, three-seater sofa and dining table with four chairs. The kitchen is equipped with Siemens fridge/freezer, microwave, electric hob, dishwasher and oven.
Bedroom 6: This small bedroom is on the ground floor next to the kitchen and entrance to the apartment. It has a standard double 135x200cm bed and looks to the front of the house with double doors. There’s a WC and sink but no shower.

Neo classic in style but with the authenticity that is so often lacking in this period of architecture. From the antiques to opulent accessories and modern art to classic furnishings this villa’s interior design is a triumph.
There’s a nod to established Andalucian architecture, heavy doors, terracotta floors and fountains but this villa takes this on to meld British and French design sensibilities from the 18th and 19th centuries.
This is traditional luxury at its best.
