It really doesn't get much more archetypally Spanish (or much more luxurious) than this absolutely stunning classic villa located in the Huerta del Conde neighbourhood of Málaga (literally, the garden of the Count). Sandwiched between the twinkling sea and majestic mountains and boasting fantastic panoramic views of both, this home offers unparalleled elegance – exuding a kind of grand traditional charm that transports you back in time, while simultaneously managing to feel entirely timeless. Explore the sprawling gardens, in which you will find a host of hidden seating areas where you can sit and simply soak up the magic of this unique environment. Meander around a little more and you will come to the spectacular natural-style pool. Framed by palm trees and offering a captivating vista, as well as a comfy cabana, we can't think of many places we would rather kick back, relax, and soak up the Spanish sunshine. Within these expansive grounds, there are also walkways adorned with bougainvillea which we think make the perfect backdrop for the ultimate holiday snap, as well as a wealth of water features and even a hidden Wendy house for an added sprinkling of magic. Step inside, and it's an unadulterated opulence that greets you. Marble floors, wood panelling, feature fireplaces, and luxurious soft furnishings combine to create a space that is at once supremely elegant, while also feeling welcoming and comfortable. An almost English country manor-feeling library brims with old-world charm, whilst deftly placed Moorish influences in the living areas add a sense of occasion, as well as a certain sumptuousness that really has to be seen to be fully appreciated. Be it lounging in one of the many indoor living spaces, reclining on daybeds fit for a Pharoah, luxuriating in the indulgent spa bathtubs, or keeping fit in the wonderfully well-equipped gym, there will never be a dull moment in this home. Around every corner lies a new surprise, experience, or sensation, and as the day slinks forward and the light that streams in begins to change, the spaces of this magnificent villa take on a new, effervescent beauty.
