Description
Character and contemporary design come together with aplomb at the stylish La Pileta. Built into, rather than on to, the hillside, with bare bedrock forming a fantastic feature throughout, this is a spacious house, ingeniously created. Architectural highlights include a lantern roof, a stone stairway following the curves of the rock-face, and a bathtub tucked between boulders, like bathing in a rock pool. Bold colours and eye-catching artworks enhance the villa’s individual style; a collection of films, books and music add entertainment into the mix; and modern amenities include satellite TV, WiFi, and air-conditioned living areas.
On the main (middle) floor are a study, the attractive kitchen/diner, and the bright and comfortable sitting room with doors to the outdoor terrace. The bathroom and romantic master bedroom are on the lower level, and there is a simply styled twin room on the top floor. Outside, with fantastic open views, a shaded terrace is furnished for dining and relaxing, and hemmed by a spring-fed infinity pool. Just 200m away, there are shops, bars and restaurants in the ‘pueblo blanco’ Montecorto. And Ronda is within easy reach, 18km from the villa.
