Nestled on over 600 hectares of totally private woodland, this charming estate is hidden away in the hills behind the traditional village of Benahavis in Southern Spain. What sets this excellent and private hideaway apart is the quality and authenticity of its antiques and furnishings, along with the natural beauty and historical ambience of its setting. With its restrained grace and rustic charm, the traditional estate provides the ultimate retreat to relax, meditate and be inspired, or have fun with family and friends.
The estate includes a generous historic Spanish manor farmhouse, a more lately-built guest house, and a separate comfortable villa, all overlooking a scenic mountain landscape and valley. Enjoying an elegant but relaxed setting, this secret paradise provides both a secluded retreat from the hustle and bustle of modern life, and a lovely place to celebrate a special occasion or host family and friends.
This wonderful countryside rental house is spread over 3 levels including a two-bedroom apartment with independent access, and a separate double room with an en-suite. The house boasts many authentic features, including charming antique tiling, furniture, and textiles.
Cool in the summer, the large, high-ceilinged living room with its decorative original Spanish wall-mounted plates and exposed beams is a pleasantly relaxing and refined space. The room opens onto a terrace where you can unwind on day beds under a shady, vine-covered pergola, or sit at a covered dining table ideal for al fresco breakfast or dinner.
This terrace is only one of many where you can spend the day admiring the gardens or the pool. Inside, the spacious dining room features a traditional refectory table on the flagstone floor – ideal for dinner parties or more formal occasions. Filled with rustic charm and tastefully decorated with Spanish antiques and Mallorcan fabrics, every corner of this generous old manor house has the refined and inspiring charm of a much-loved family home. Every detail has been thought of – from the pool-side Wi-Fi and fridge to the cozy furnishings, artworks, and antiques, including the lovely wall tiles and ornate bathroom fittings.
Main house (13 guests) includes 3 large double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, 1 medium double bedroom (which shares bathroom with single room), 1 single bedroom with shared bathroom, double height living room, dining room, 2 family lounge rooms, one with TV, spacious kitchen. Apartment with private access features 1 large double bedroom with en-suite bathroom, 1 twin (can be made up as double on request) with en-suite bathroom and sitting room.
The Guest House (6 guests) is totally private though located only a two-minute walk from the Main House – perfect for guests or an extended family party. Rambling, twisting vines cover the white-washed house with its turquoise wooden window shutters, creating a romantic ambience to read a book or unwind on the lovely and cozy outdoor furniture. A spacious sun terrace, with a huge day bed, is ideal for relaxing or alfresco dining, and provides a superb view of the pool and garden below.
3 large bedrooms, all with en-suites and decorated with Mallorcan fabrics with colourful prints, offer a cozy and relaxed ambience to feel at home in, while the wide windows and doors open onto flower and vine-covered terraces and balconies, boasting amazing views of woodland-covered mountains and generous gardens below. Tastefully decorated, with every possible need and want catered for, this is a real paradise, with everything from the wonderful bespoke Spanish tiling and striking artworks to the ornate gold-plated bathroom fittings creating an environment you will never want to leave.
Shaded terraces and daybeds provide numerous relaxation and alfresco dining spots throughout the property; two big swimming pools (one heated) with sun loungers, a tennis court with a covered viewing area, and separate games and TV room with a pool table, table tennis and darts offer unforgettable moments of fun.
The property can be rented with its sister villa with 5 more bedrooms, also available for weddings and events. The guests can reserve both properties and enjoy a real country resort with 3 swimming pools, a tennis court, helipad, river, and outdoor routes.
The scenic traditional Andalucian village of Benahavis is an oasis of peace and privacy, and yet is located only 7 kilometres from the main coastal road. Typical white-washed buildings, restaurants and bars line narrow, well-shaded streets, and while the village exudes the natural charm of its 2000 mainly local residents, it also offers a cosmopolitan atmosphere thanks to the many guests attracted to its world-famous cuisine.
The brighter lights of Marbella and Puerto Banus, with their famous golf courses, beaches, marina, nightlife and great restaurants, are only a short drive away.
