Villa Vivante

The main living and dining space is on the top floor at pool level. Wall-to-wall glass curtains open to a narrow balustrade balcony and the lateral windows open out to a terrace and the infinity pool.

The space is eloquently finished with a grand leather Flexform sofa, two accent chairs and a black leather reading chair and foot stool, all positioned so you can feast on the views.

If you can take your eyes away from the ocean, there are coffee table books scattered around, including a few authored by the owner sharing his love of Spanish cuisine.

Living/reading room 2: The dual aspect reading/movie room leads out to a large east-facing terrace, which is barrier-free for un-interrupted views (not suitable for children)

The ultra-comfortable leather sofa is perfect for curling up with your chosen holiday novel or to watch a movie on the 1.5m TV screen.

Bookshelves line the back of the room and a pebble shaped table with five chairs complete with reading lamp makes for a full-on library-style experience.

The interior dining room next to the pool forms part of the main living area, furnished with a fine marble table with seating for eight guests. Outdoor meals can be taken around a six seater dining table situated next to the pool. At Villa Vivante evening meals are accompanied by a thousand twinkling lights as the whole coast lights up below!

The kitchen is minimalist in design but replete with everything you would expect in a professional chef’s kitchen. Gaggenhau oven, warmer and microwave; a side-by-side fridge freezer with ice maker, a Nespresso and separate integrated Espresso machine, plus gadgets and cooking utensils galore.

The owners have also prepared an excellent stock cupboard and complementary refreshments for your stay. On arrival, you can purchase from the wine, cava, vinegar and olive oil stocked bodega.

With mesmerising views from every window and terrace, choosing where to relax at Villa Vivante isn’t a problem.

The reading chair and foot stool in the main living room are perfectly positioned for you to relax and enjoy the dramatic Atlantic view. The reading room brings a touch of leather cushioned comfort: a place for a solitary reading hour or snuggling up with your family to watch an evening movie, and each bedroom suite features a private terrace.

The fitness room is perfect for a spot of sunrise Yoga, while outside, you can float to the edge of the Atlantic in the ocean-view infinity pool. Where will you go? Over to Tangiers in Morocco, to Malta or all the way across to the US?
