Andalucía, Spain’s largest region, offers a varied landscape including rugged mountains, sandy coastline and dramatic gorges. Our villas in Andalucía include a family villa near the white village of Ronda and a traditional hilltop cortijo with stunning views
INTRODUCTION
Although renowned for its resort beaches, there is much more to Andalucía than sand and sea. The region also boasts quiet fishing villages, fascinating historic towns and cities and makes a great base for enjoying outdoor activities.
Our Luxury Villas in Andaluciaare well located for exploring the region. Villa Sancha is a family villa located close to the spectacular pueblo blanco (white village) of Ronda. Ronda sits perched on a cliff beside a yawning gorge near to other such white villages such as Grazalema, surrounded by cork forests and dramatic mountains. Further west is Andalucía’s capital Seville, the fourth largest city in Spain. Seville’s rich heritage is evidenced by the Moorish Giralda and Torre del Oro, whilst the Reales Alcazares is an eclectic combination of Christian-Mudejar architecture, with its high, fortified walls and verdant tropical gardens. The old Jewish quarter of Santa Cruz is a maze of white alleyways and quaint squares dotted with orange trees. Seville’s Renaissance and Baroque buildings date back to the period following the Christian Reconquest of 1492, when the city was granted a trading monopoly with the New World.
To the east is the hilltop Andalucía villa, Villa La Maroma, a delightfully restored Spanish cortijo. Gastronomy is high on the list of the owners’ interests and the villa can be booked with its own private chef, David Palacios. David can also be booked for local gastronomy tours and tapas trails. To the east of Villa Maroma is one of Spain’s most well-known attractions, the Alhambra. Located in Granada, this palace, dating back to the 14th century, dominates the hilltop and offers breathtaking gardens and architecture.
Of course, the coast is one of the most popular reasons for visiting the region. To experience the buzz of this region a trip to the Costa del Sol is a must. Marbella is the sophisticated hub of the coast, with its enchanting historic centre swathed in bougainvillea, luxury boutiques and shops, restaurants offering everything from caviar to grilled sardines, quiet bars and throbbing discos. Of the numerous café-lined marinas along the coast, the finest of them all, Puerto Banus, is filled with some of the most spectacular yachts in the whole of the Mediterranean.
