Through the Andalucian orange-tree patio, the ground floor offers a spacious main living room with a teak staircase and upper balcony. The furnishings adhere to an elegant, muted colour palette of soft taupes, creams and browns that cover plush seating in the sitting area and reading corner.

Adjacent to the formal living room is a TV lounge and reading room with an open fire, antique woods, a walnut writing desk. Ornate detailing sets the stage for a comfortable, less formal gathering space. This living area offers a full TV system with cable TV, Sonos sound and a BlueRay player.

A third contemporary designer living room is located in the private apartment, as detailed in the Bedrooms section.

Also next to the living room is a formal dining room. Here you will find oval-shaped table with seating for 10. Silver candelabras, fine silverware and a crystal chandelier contribute to the elegant ambiance, with magnificent views over the garden and out toward the horizon.

Behind this, the kitchen houses a handy breakfast nook which sits in a small alcove overlooking the side garden. There is table seating for eight, making this a good choice for the children’s dinner table (with nanny), while the adults entertain in the formal dining room.

An Andalusian, country-style FRANKE kitchen offers black granite worktops, a central cooking island, and NEFF appliances, including a gourmet refrigerator, double oven, and microwave. There is a TV and Sonos sound system in the kitchen, as well as an assortment of true at-home comforts, including a Nespresso machine, induction hob, and large double fridge freezer.

The centrepiece of the garden is a Roman-style pool (17m x 7m) and hot tub, plus six oversize, comfortable sun-loungers. A built-in Argentine-style BBQ/grill is perfect for cooking up a feast to serve in the adjacent pergola, complete with seating. The outdoor sink, Nespresso machine, and other kitchen equipment ensure a convenient outdoor cooking experience.

A children’s play house and slides are located along the side of the house. While kids play, parents can relax on the outdoor terrace, which has an elegant chandelier and soft, billowing curtains revealing immaculate tropical gardens.

The basement unfolds to reveal a full Gentlemen’s Club, complete with red carpeting and old Hollywood black-and-white prints. Butter-soft brown Chesterfield sofas and arm chairs surround a full-size slate-bed snooker table, darts board, stocked Martini bar, and a functioning bar with fridges, sink, leather stools, and state-of-the-art ceiling lights. This level is completely sound-proof; an ideal extra, given that it also houses an in-home cinema, with stadium seating and state-of-the-art home theatre equipment.

Beneath the main house is also a gym and sauna.

Bedroom 1: Top-floor master suite decorated in true Andalusian style, with soft dove-grey walls, terracotta flooring, and high vaulted ceilings.

A full-height French window opens to reveal Juliette balconies abloom with the shocking pinks of tropical bougainvilleas. There are his-and-hers ensuite bathrooms: one in a slate grey and cream palette, with a shower; and the other featuring a corner bath, twin sinks, separate shower and a small television.

The ensuite bathroom features natural stone colours, a granite mosaic floor, Andalusian tiles, twin sinks, and a large shower cubicle.

Bedroom 5: Also on the ground floor, this is a mirror image of bedroom 4.

Modern Private Apartment: Bedrooms 6 and 7 are located in the stylish new apartment next to the main villa. You’ll find a contemporary and spacious living room: silky cream carpet, wooden floors, a corner sofa and leather Barcelona chairs. Modern art adorns the walls, and there is a TV unit and SONOS sound system for entertainment. The kitchenette is fully fitted by NEFF, and is completely equipped for self-catering. The apartment may be used as a private wing.

The two spacious bedrooms offer ‘Farrow and ball’-style décor in muted, earthy tones, with soft grey walls, a linen headboard for the king-size bed, modern artwork, wooden floors and an Eames chair.

The ensuite shower rooms have travertine marble, a rain shower, and other top-quality details, including bathrobes, heated towel rails, and heated door handles.
