Featured in The Times ’10 Best Villas in Spain’ 2019
Perched on the Andalucian hillside, just outside of Gaucin, this stunning villa offers spectacular views over the surrounding countryside, inviting you to relax on one of several charming terraces and take in the beautiful setting.
Surrounded by 26 acres of forest, Villa Bougainvillea enjoys a secluded position with a wonderful garden filled with herbs and fruit trees that create an idyllic natural environment. Arranged over several floors, the Moorish-style property has plenty of charm, with a whitewashed facade and characterful arched windows that frame views out to the garden and landscape beyond.
On the ground floor, the central living rooms are bright and airy, with terracotta tiled floors and exposed timber beams stretching across the tall ceilings. Beside the fireplace, an informal seating area offers a comfortable place to sit, whilst, in the neighbouring room, a large kitchen with a wonderful island counter has plenty of space for preparing meals whilst enjoying views out to the mountains in the distance. A delightful internal courtyard sits in the villa's centre, with potted plants and vibrant tiling creating a charming setting to al fresco throughout the day, and various seating is positioned beneath the shaded archways, where you can escape the heat and relax with a book. There is a barbecue for entertaining guests, or head up to the roof terrace and share a bottle of wine whilst admiring the spectacular views.
The villa features three bedrooms, two of which offer a double bed and neatly decorated ensuites. The third bedroom can be found on the lower ground floor, where a double bed and additional sofa bed are perfect for families or additional guests.
With several terraces and balconies, there is plenty of opportunity to spread out and make the most of the warm, sunny days. On the lower level, a stunning infinity pool is perfect for cooling off, where you can enjoy a refreshing swim or laze in the water whilst soaking up the panoramic views. An assortment of loungers and umbrellas are well-positioned on the lawn nearby, inviting you to recline in the sun whilst soaking up the peaceful setting.
Villa Bougainvillea really is the height of luxury and sophistication, especially for those who appreciate absolute peace and quiet, tranquillity and for experiencing traditional, rural Spain at it's best.
