Luxury 5 Beds.villa in own Grounds. Large all Weather Pool. Vacation rental.

The villa was designed by itīs architect owner and has a strong
Moroccan influence with itīs brick pillars and arches.An enormous
double set of 17th. centuary doors open into a large entrance
lobby which in turn leads into the wonderful large reception
room, 20m x 12m. This room boasts brick pillars, a large open fireplace,
a fountain and is furnished with many lovely antiques, original paintings and artifacts,
including a large refectory table with Windsor dining chairs and a
Steinway Baby Grand piano.Large doors on either side of the fireplace open out onto a very spacious patio,
part of which is covered, thus making al fresco dining a pleasure even in the heat of the Mediterranean sun, and steps lead on from there down to the pool with
its own large sun terrace. Apart from the main patio between the house and the pool there are other delightful seating areas, some in the shade and some in the sun, set out in the beautiful grounds and of course there is also a BBQ area.

The five bedrooms, of which 3 are double and two twin, are all en-suite.
They are very comfortably furnished with ample built in wardrobe space and each
one is fitted with itīs own solid fuel fireplace.Four of the bathrooms have fully
tiled walk in showers and the fifth has a full bath.

As one would expect with a villa of this standard the kitchen and adjoining utility room are both very
well equipped. The former is designed in an attractive country
farmhouse style and is fitted with an oven and hob, two fridge freezers,
a dishwasher, microwave oven and of course a good selection of glassware,
crockery and cooking utensils etc. In short everything that you would
expect in a house of this calibre.The automatic washing machine and tumble drier are
located in the utility room.

The beautiful large swimming pool, 20m. x 5m. has the marvelous
advantage of an electrically operated extendable cover.This makes
swimming in the winter a pleasure as it maintains the water temperature
at around 28 degrees. The pool house also has a solid fuel fireplace
and a shower. In the winter you can enter the pool directly
from the warmth of the pool house and bathe in the comfort of the
warm water.As far as I am aware this is the only pool of itīs type
in the area and certainly adds another dimension to a winter holiday
in Andalucia. In fact I canīt think of a better place to spend a
family Christmas.

In short Villa Albanile is a quite wonderful Andalucian holiday villa with the added advantage of a superb scenic location. It is
full of character and charm and fitted and furnished to an exceptionally
high standard which it is difficult to truly describe with just a few short words and pictures. The efficient air conditioning and heating systems, along
with the all weather pool, make it a perfect holiday home at any time
of the year.
