VILLA ARMIDA IN SIERRA BLANCA, MARBELLA GOLDEN MILE

HIGHLIGHTS.
Villa Armida has the three main elements to take into account in a luxury villa: location, architecture and prime interior details.

It is located in Marbella’s GOLDEN MILE, so called because of the quality of its buildings, its high-class shops and its excellent location in relation to other important points of the city: the sea, the centre, Banus, Puente Romano, etc. With the added advantage that Villa Armida belongs to the coveted residential area of Sierra Blanca.

Due to its position it also boasts amazing views. From its two exterior levels you can see the sea and the blue Mediterranean sky melt into the horizon, while the Marbella coastline stretches all the way to Puerto Banús. On clear days, you can even see Gibraltar, Tarifa and the Moroccan mountain range.

INTRODUCING THE PROPERTY.
Every house has its own history. The story of this villa begins with its name, “Villa Armida”. This word of Latin origin means armed, powerful. It is also a name linked to opera and painting with a more poetic connotation, of a seductive, bewitching woman.

Villa Armida lives up to this name and is influenced by both profiles. It is an architecturally powerful villa, with an outstanding structure, while at the same time it is a property full of exquisite details that fill it with seduction and harmony.

It is very important to highlight again its location: in the urbanization Sierra Blanca, in the heart of the GOLDEN MILE OF MARBELLA. It is fortunately situated in an area popularly known as the “Beverly Hills of Marbella”. It is a residential area that brings together the best of the luxury lifestyle of the Costa del Sol. It is made up of wide streets, quiet and safe, full of vegetation, and from which the beautiful Mediterranean Sea can be seen.

EXTERIOR.
The entire property faces the sea. The front garden and pool area, in fact, give the sensation of extending to the horizon infinitely.

This has been achieved by taking advantage of the slope of the land towards the coast. The house is on the slope of Marbella’s most famous mountain, La Concha. The entire urbanisation, Sierra Blanca, sits on this gentle natural slope of the mountain, allowing all the villas to enjoy gradual views.

Although the setting of the villa was already beautiful in itself, great care has been taken with the outside area of the property. When you step out into the garden, the first thing you come across is a porch designed to provide sun and shade. It is a perfect place to generate plans of all kinds in a city with three hundred days of sunshine a year and where numerous guests are often received.

To achieve different leisure and relaxation options, the garden is divided into different sub-areas according to the furniture: a barbecue area, an outdoor dining area, comfortable chill-out sofas or cheerful sun loungers. Each corner allows a personalised and enriching use.

The large swimming pool helps to feel the quality of life of the villa and Marbella. And an original water area with a wooden walkway over it has been added, very pleasant and cool. Surrounding the house and the water area, there is a beautiful, well-maintained Mediterranean-tropical garden, green and lush. Some of the trees are particularly striking, such as those in the entrance area, where there is a waterfall accompanied by beautiful giant bonsais. Also included are indigenous varieties such as palms and Mediterranean pines.

The villa is specially built to enjoy the outside, even from the inside. In order to be able to see the wonderful natural environment at all times, and in different seasons of the year. In fact, it is surrounded by large windows throughout the structure, designed to be living pictures of the landscape.

Another interesting area of the villa is the roof terrace. It is a large solarium with
beautiful outdoor furniture. This part of the house is also accessible via the property’s lift. The area is equipped with a connection to the hi-fi sound system and a glazed balustrade that allows you to sit and enjoy the unobstructed sea views. It is ideal for independent moments, for celebrating a formidable finale and, of course, for stargazing in the sky.

NTERIOR.

The villa has been thought out and pampered down to the last detail. Always based on three elements: light, spaciousness and exquisitely designed furniture.

On the first level, the entrance hall welcomes you with a very open profile. You can see how it subtly joins the largest room in the villa: the living-dining-kitchen area. The sub-areas have been wisely separated by decorating them with contemporary furniture and different colour schemes. Of course, a warm fireplace is a must.

Attached to the living room, and with sliding doors that make it independent, there is a TV area and a charming mini-bar. This room is very original and useful. It allows you to enjoy the television in an autonomous and silent way.

The kitchen is also part of this large room. It is open, elegant and, thanks to its dark furniture, blends perfectly with the living room. It is accompanied by a dining room and a breakfast area. It is conveniently located at the side of the house, which brings it closer to the outdoor dining area.

This floor has a bedroom, a bathroom and plenty of storage areas as well.

The second level of the house is accessed by a beautiful staircase, or by lift. It is a private area, luxuriously dedicated to relaxation. Of the four bedrooms, the two front bedrooms are the largest, although they all have their own dressing room and bathroom. They also have something in common: light floods all the rooms, it is the protagonist.

In general, the choice of furniture in the bedrooms is very pure, Nordic, but with sensual touches of contemporary-chic. Of course, the use of top quality materials, constructively or decoratively speaking, is evident in every element.

The third level of the house begins with a discreet cellar area with refrigeration just down the stairs. It is a well-lit and always ventilated floor. The idea was to have an extra space that would offer even more wellness and luxury options to the house.

It has an integral health and beauty area, with gym, spa and hamman. There is also a fabulous games room and a cinema room for family fun.

Also on this lower floor is the large garage with three spacious parking spaces. It has been really fitted out to pamper the vehicles. The access to get in and out of the house with the car is easy and quick.

The house has the option of adding an indoor swimming pool and an office at a cost that has already been budgeted for.

The whole is a gem and truly one of the best investments in the Marbella luxury real estate market today.
