Villa with a window on the world When you enter the Villa you step into a world of peace and privacy on the doorstep of Marbella, for set within the gated community of El Madronal, this magnificent home occupies a private domain of 15,000m2 surrounded by open nature and wide-angled views that take in a panorama running from the Sierra de Ronda Mountains all the way down to the Mediterranean Sea. Inspired by the classical architecture of the Renaissance, the 1,050m2 villa has a balance of proportions that matches its elegance and style, with rooms and living areas whose intimacy belies their space. Stop at the end of the gravel driveway and you spot the symmetry and sensibility of layout that begins at the home’s entrance, a courtyard in the ‘Andalusian’ style that has its origins in earlier Moorish and Roman architecture. Serene in ambience and pleasing to the eye, this classic feature contains a great many details inspired by the Alhambra and provides a suitably impressive way of entering the property. The entrance hall leads to a modern open style kitchen, a dining room and a lounge, all of which are marked by views of the mountains and sea that can only be described as ‘fantastic’. Also on this level are an office and cloakroom, whilst the living area provides a mezzanine to another living area one floor below. Steps lead down to this enchanting space, a living room cum study with delightful views and natural light. Like the six bedroom suites distributed over this floor and the one below, it is connected to one of many private little terraces each of which offers a novel perspective of the vistas. The finest of these is perhaps the covered terrace leading on from the lounge and dining room. From this vantage point the greenery of wooded hills, a little river emptying into a small dam and the mountains rising in successive waves behind is particularly impressive. Glance the other way and the sparkling Mediterranean extends beyond Marbella’s coastline. Though just minutes away from the amenities of Marbella, Puerto Banus and San Pedro Alcantara, El Cortijo is a private world set among the large estates of El Madronal. The lower terrace that leads on to an idyllic pool deck ensconced within a subtropical garden opens up a sense of total peace and privacy amid inspiring views, giving the property the feeling of a retreat in the midst of nature. Tall floor-to-ceiling windows allow these scenes to enter the bright, spacious bedrooms with their dressing areas and elegantly finished bathrooms, while the property also features a room previously used as a recording studio and therefore perfectly suited as a home cinema or entertainment area. The stylish classical architectural references notwithstanding, this is a home with modern comforts and amenities, offering a rare quality of life in the midst of nature yet on the very doorstep of Marbella.El Madronal, is one of the Costa del Sol's best-kept secrets and for sure best locations.
