Interior Description
The villa welcomes you through a charming porch and double-height entrance hall, where natural light and open views set a warm tone. The main level features a formal drawing room, a relaxing second lounge or day sitting room and a separate dining area. Moreover, the fully equipped kitchen provides highly practical space for everyday cooking while still supporting relaxed entertaining.
High ceilings, traditional fireplaces and a calm palette enhance the sense of spaciousness throughout. Comfort is ensured year-round thanks to air conditioning, gas central heating and solar-powered hot water. Additional rooms include a cosy guest bedroom, an office or library and generous storage areas.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite enjoys far-reaching views, a private bathroom and dressing areas. Two further bedroom suites complete this level, creating an ideal layout for both family living and hosting extended guests.
Terraces, Gardens & Pool
Outdoor living is central to this Los Almendros villa. Wide terraces, a peaceful courtyard and mature landscaped gardens offer multiple spaces for dining, relaxing or simply enjoying the scenery. Furthermore, the property includes a delightful staff or guest house — perfect for visitors, live-in support or extended family.
The heated 12 x 6 m pool forms the heart of the garden and is surrounded by lawn, planting and panoramic views across golf, mountains and the sea. The villa’s orientation and the area’s renowned microclimate ensure these outdoor areas can be enjoyed throughout the year.
Community & Location
Los Almendros is a private, secure community nestled in the Benahavís hills and surrounded by protected green zones. Here you’ll find a sense of tranquillity and natural beauty while remaining close to everyday conveniences. The charming village-style services of La Heredia — including cafés, a bakery, a butcher and small shops — are moments away.
San Pedro, Puerto Banús, Marbella and the beaches of the Costa del Sol are all within a short drive. Málaga and Gibraltar airports are comfortably accessible for international homeowners. As a result, this villa suits buyers seeking space, privacy and scenery without sacrificing practicality or lifestyle amenities.
