Occupying a superb position on the western Costa del Sol, the villa provides a luxury home oozing elegance in a much sought after location.

El Padron is just 2 kilometres from the town centre of Estepona and the Blue Flag Beach of Estepona is within easy reach, a beach that has been regularly rewarded for it´s 30 meter wide sands and natural dune vegetation. The private Estepona estate is privileged to occupy such a large plot within an area of the coast which is highly sought after. With a secure perimeter wall all around the property privacy and security are assured. There is plenty of space for vehicles, with a double carport housing the cars for the main house and a garage for 3 cars for the guest house. A paved driveway flanked with mature tropical plants leads to the villa, and here an impressive porch welcomes visitors promising something special within.

A vast and well-appointed ground floor consists of a number of individual rooms. The heart of the villa has to be the main living room area which is entirely fitted on it´s south’facing wall with wooden framed windows offering the most exquisite views of the gardens. There is a magnificent and regal dining room, a further sitting room area, a guest cloakroom, and a variety of smaller rooms serving as utility space, sewing rooms and a study. The kitchen provides a very homely space which is well appointed, and large enough for a full sized dining table around which a large family can gather.

In total, this luxury Estepona estate provides 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, but these are of course, spread out between the two houses. The master bedroom with en suite bathroom dominates the upper floor of the main house. With underfloor heating and a walk-in wardrobe, the large sleeping quarters are illuminated with immaculately designed windows, as well as patio doors that lead to the balcony. Here the views are magnificent. From this private space, the inhabitants can sit within this space, large enough for sun-loungers and tables, and appreciate sea views and a great aspect of the lovely gardens below. The bathroom provided for these quarters must be seen to be believed, with marble tiled floors and walls which present a raised and sunken Cleopatra bath….luxury at it´s finest.

On approach, the guest house oozes charm, with a terrace covered by a tiled pitched roof, and decorated with a hint of Andalusian style. Here there are 2 bedrooms, a large living area and an open plan kitchen.

A Mezmerising Converted Former Monastery Estate in Seville.

Located on a plateau in the Sierra Morena (north of Seville), just over one hour from Seville airport, within the Sierra Norte Natural Park and surrounded by mixed woodlands, majestic cork trees and olive groves, the Cartuja de Cazalla’s setting is exceptional.

The grounds house a complete Carthusian monastery, former ruin since the expulsion of the monks in 1836, nowadays all consolidated since its restoration which began in the early 1980’s, except for the 3rd cloister in the back, facing the valley.
The site includes a number of buildings of high historical value such as the main church and chapels, interior patios and cloisters, all of which have been structurally restored and/or converted into dining and party halls for celebrations, concert halls for cultural activities, exhibition halls, conference rooms, bedroom suites and a spacious art and pottery studio equipped with a ceramic kiln.

The setting is magical, with awe-inspiring views to the Sierra Morena where one can observe horses, sheep and Iberian pigs grazing and foraging in nearby pastures.
The premises features abundant fresh water, with an artisan well which is the main reason this site has been inhabited since time immemorial and also the reason the Carthusian monks built their charter house on the remains of previous settlements.

The Cartuja went through a period of deterioration, a degree of which has been purposefully kept, giving the monument a romantic look and feel. Restoration works over the past 30 years have been substantial, the roofs and ceilings of the main buildings have been structurally consolidated, and so have the monumental kitchens and the monk’s dining-hall along with the former water-operated mill adapted into a swimming pool and reservoir.

Some of the chapels and monk’s cells have been converted into new rooms and suites that are currently managed as a rural guesthouse….
