Villa Monterey

Villa Monterey’s spacious interiors (950 m2) centre around three living areas in the main floor: In the centre you find the triple-height vaulted living room with enormous picture windows, flanked on the left by the open plan kitchen-diner/TV lounge, and on the right, a member’s club-style TV and reading lounge. All three spaces lead out to the poolside and grounds, where sun beds and daybeds offer extensive seating and open-air living space.

While the main living area is stylish and formal, the more casual TV lounge is a warm space in the style of traditional member’s clubs. Squashy sofas invite conversation over after-dinner drinks, and a 50-inch TV is the perfect accoutrement for a movie evening in. A Sonos surround sound system and TV with UK stations complete the room’s entertainment offerings.

Downstairs is a fourth living space, a relaxing chill-out zone with chunky sofas, a cinema projector and bar for an entertaining night in with family and friends.

The modern, open-plan designer kitchen is a chef’s dream, with a cool colour palette of smart greys and whites, with chocolate-grey flooring and matte-white stone worktops, a large ceramic hob, dual dishwashers, large refrigerator and freezer, AG oven, Delonghi Nespresso coffeemaker, and twin wine chillers. The kitchen opens to the TV lounge area, which in turn opens onto the home’s main outdoor dining space overlooking the pool.

Villa Monterey invites outdoor living with an open-air main dining space located on a lovely, shaded terrace off the main kitchen and lounge. A cream marble table provides seating for eight. Additionally, an outdoor summer dining room promises the perfect spot for entertaining: seating for 12 guests, plus a fitted bar with fridges, sink and two drinks fridges.

A second complete kitchen is located in the lower-ground floor of the villa, perfect for staff or Nanny, but equally providing ample space for two families to each have their own space.

A spectacular lagoon-style pool is the epicentre of Villa Monterey’s relaxation offerings. Modern facilities include a newly tiled terrace complete with wood-effect decking. Adjacent to the pool is an immaculate lawn leading to the outdoor pergola for summertime cooking, dining and entertainment.

Sunbeds and daybeds dot the beautiful and expansive gardens (4,000 m2). On the terrace, the poolside summer lounge area adds additional seating for 10-12 on comfortable sofas. The verdant greens of the golf course spill onto the villa’s grounds, adding emerald hues to colourful bougainvillea, estrelizias and sun-loving palms. A table tennis table is available.

The recently renovated basement has been fitted with a large bar and cinema lounge area, complete with integrated surround sound and a media player with projector.
