Surrounded by olive, almond, and fruit trees, this Andulician villa is steeped in over three-hundred years of history and has seen ambassadors, royalty and bishops grace its halls. Not that you’d be able to guess its age by exploring the rooms within – every corner has been stylishly presented to create an understated sense of luxury that still feels inviting and fuss-free. Panoramic views of the city of Ronda can be admired from the gorgeous terrace upstairs, which also happens to look out onto the private saltwater pool where you’ll undoubtedly spend the hotter parts of the day idly paddling in the Spanish sunshine. More active guests might enjoy padel, yoga or the private gym, whilst those who take holidaying seriously might find themselves more drawn to a garden brimming with organic fruits and vegetables. And if you can’t see yourself trading stories around the firepit or reading with only bird’s song for company, there’s always Ronda’s New Bridge, a twenty-five-minute drive away. This home promises plenty of space for relaxing, eating – think jamon iberico, patatas bravas, and croquetas – and rejuvenating.
