Marbella Description - sleeps up to 10 (575 sq m, including terraces & balconies)
Villa del Gato was constructed over the turn of the century, completed in 2003, with the interior design upgraded on several occasions since, and the entire pool area rebuilt in 2020. It comprises a substantial villa, luxuriously finished and appointed, set over a sloping site on three floors, whose large open-plan living area looks onto a large dining terrace under a pergola beside the 10x5m swimming pool. From this and the upper floor, there are panoramic views to Marbella's iconic La Concha mountain range, south-west towards Gibraltar, and across the Mediterranean to the mountains of Morocco. The accommodation runs to 4 luxurious double bedroom suites, a large living area with working fireplace, separate Entrance Hall and large kitchen. In addition, there is a study/office on the main floor (next to the guest loo) and one more super-king double bedroom and home cinema on the lower floor, plus a shower room with laundry facilities. Outside there are several sun terraces and decks, one housing a rusticly-secluded jacuzzi with amazing views, all set within what is a huge garden, by Marbella standards. Málaga airport is 45 minutes away. In addition to jetset Marbella, Puerto Banús, etc., Granada, Sevilla and all the major Moorish destinations of Andalucía are within day-trip range...
