Casa La Morera Marbella | Spain
Casa La Morera
Take the charm and natural beauty of the Andalusian countryside, add a touch of Tuscan elegance, views of the Mediterranean and put it all on the edge of Marbella… …a rather glamorous Mediterranean resort town with its focus clearly trained on the sea, but if you’re willing to venture just a little inland you will find it is possible to enjoy a country lifestyle in the sun without having to suffer isolation or being deprived of life’s comforts. From this lovely Spanish-Italian inspired villa in the Marbella hills you are just minutes away from beaches, bustling towns, shops, golf courses and a lively social scene, yet to all intents and purposes, in the Spanish campo.

Many dream of a Tuscan idyll, of rolling hills covered in olive groves dotted with cypresses and the occasional country home but what if you also want to be close to the sea, with magnificent views that trace the shoreline to the very edge of the continent and allow you to gaze upon its southerly neighbour? Built against a gentle slope in a position that offers prominent views across the nearby scenery and distant sea, the property’s driveway leads to a large forecour t that welcomes you with the tinkling sounds of an Andalusian fountain. A solid antique door sourced in Portugal swings open to reveal an entrance hall with imposing high ceilings that looks straight out to sea and leads to the stylish but comfortable living room with a large stone fireplace and an equally inviting dining room that connects with a modern state-of-the-art Siematic kitchen with its own informal breakfast area and a gorgeous terrace that forms the outdoor extension of the house, with steps leading down to a semitropical garden that embraces a large swimming pool and thatched caseta complete with kitchen, changing rooms and cloakroom facilities. On the first floor in one wing there is a large, panoramic bedroom suite with modern bathroom and breathtaking views, and a cosy second suite complete with its own terrace from which to enjoy a different perspective of the views. The opposite wing is entirely dedicated to the main bedroom suite, that with intelligent architectural design produces an intimacy to the villa that belies its size. Panoramic views are the backdrop to a large, comfortable bedroom, which like its opposite number, has a private terrace and pretty Juliette windows. The large independent guest apar tment of two bedrooms, bathroom, a modern kitchen and a large lounge and dining area enjoys not only its own terrace area but also lots of natural light. The most classical part of the house with its terracotta flagstones and beautifully vaulted ceilings houses not only a cinema room but also the most impressive private spa and bodega.
“On a clear day you can see the lights twinkle in Morocco.”
When asked what makes La Morera so special, its owners reply that it is a house that’s a home. This may sound strange, but so many of the sprawling villas that line the Costa del Sol have an air of ghostliness about them; they feel as though life has not seeped through the walls for decades. La Morera couldn’t be further away from this. ‘We spend time in every room of the house, the perfect proportions of the property mean that it has a homely feel while still retaining great style’.
