Elegant 5 Bed Villa For Sale in La Zagaleta Benahavis

Interior Layout

Villa Sylvan opens through a double-height entrance hall that establishes the home’s classical proportions and sense of arrival. From here, the principal reception spaces flow towards the gardens and covered terraces, allowing natural light and the surrounding landscape to become part of the interior.

The main lounge provides an elegant setting for everyday relaxation and formal entertaining. Alongside it, a dedicated dining room creates a more traditional space for hosting guests, while the fully equipped designer kitchen combines generous preparation areas with practical storage.

The entire upper floor is devoted to the principal suite. This private retreat includes a marble bathroom, dressing area and its own terrace overlooking the Mediterranean and surrounding valleys. Four further bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation for family members and guests.

Additional leisure and service areas include a wine cellar, sauna, gym, games room, utility room and extensive basement accommodation. Air conditioning, central heating and a fireplace support year-round comfort, while the private garage accommodates three cars.
