Villa Baltanas

Nestled in a remote spot close to the village of Baltanas, this villa is an ancient Spanish house, furnished with wonderful family heirlooms and tastefully restored to suit modern lifestyles. The villa is made up of the main house, a guest house and a pavilion, which specialises in hosting creative events.

The exteriors are made up of traditional stone, with a bell at the roof and boasting spectacular views of the countryside. Within the grounds, there are woodlands, a pergola for alfresco dining, a vegetable garden and ecological farm. There is a private pool where guests can enjoy a relaxing soak within peaceful surroundings.

The main house has seven bedrooms and is decorated in an opulent style, with rich red tones and antique wooden furniture. There are several sitting areas for relaxing, with two large living rooms with cosy fireplaces and a well-stocked library. The red sitting room has plush neutral and floral-print sofas, a vintage writing desk and traditional art on the walls. The second, more modern living space is airy with brown sofas and honey-toned art.

There is a futuristic fully-equipped kitchen perfect for self-catering, decorated in red and white with plenty of prep space and glossy scarlet panelling. Dine around the striking blue formal table or alfresco on the terrace. In the corridors, there are patterned rugs on the hardwood floors and portrait art.

The bedrooms are a mixture of double and twin rooms, with beautiful bedspreads in colours including duck egg blue and floral red and gold. The rooms are bathed in natural light from the wooden shutter-windows and the homely decor makes the bedrooms a wonderful place to retreat to at the end of a long day exploring the surrounding area.

In the guest house, there are two charming bedrooms, one double and one single in sky blue and yellow, respectively. The bedspreads are beautiful - the yellow one is patterned in a brocade style and the bed in a private nook inside the room. There is a large open living area with a fireplace and a fully-equipped kitchen. On the terrace below there are fragrant almond trees and a dining area with a barbecue.

The pavilion has been adapted for professional use, from family events, conferences and workshops. It has its own kitchen and two lovely terraces absolutely ideal for open-air activities like yoga. There is also plenty of parking available nearby.
