A magnificent brand new villa of stunning individual design, the work of
Menorca's pre-eminent architect.
Built over three
floors, this very large, luxury six-ensuite bedroom/seven bathroom
property boasts an impressive range of facilities, including top quality
furniture and soft furnishings throughout. There are two 13m long
swimming pools… one 'adult' pool with automatic safety cover and
another children's pool, various exterior and interior water features, a
range of fitness equipment, a fully climate-controlled air
conditioning/heating system throughout, a glass-walled lift serving all
three floors, and outstanding sea views from most rooms and exterior
terraces.
The villa offers an
enormous 450sq m of living accommodation on a spacious plot of nearly
1600sq m, and is located on the fringe of the coastal resort town of
Punta Prima, on Menorca's beautiful south coast. Its elevated position
on the approach road from Sant Lluis provides excellent views to the
sea. The villa's accommodation is arranged over three levels; the lower
basement level houses the 2/3-car underground garage, the services,
plant and equipment room, an enclosed open-air drying area and a general
storage room.
The villa is entered
via the ground floor, street level, passing over a small bridge crossing
an interior water feature flowing into an outside shallow pool, enclosed
by a walled courtyard.
Ahead is the vary
spacious L-shaped lounge and separate dining area, both sumptuously
appointed with furniture and soft furnishings of the highest quality, as
are all rooms throughout. The living room is equipped with a large
plasma screen TV with access to the English language free-to-view
satellite and Spanish terrestrial channels, and surround-sound music
system. Both rooms have floor-to-ceiling double-glazed sliding doors
opening to the upper terrace level and offer excellent sea views.
To the left of the
entrance area is the large, ultra-modern luxury kitchen, furnished with
an extensive range of top quality base and wall units and metallic
finish or integral appliances, including American-style fridge/freezer,
electric oven and hob, extractor, washing machine, dishwasher, toaster,
coffee maker and so on.
A corridor to the
right of the entrance bridge leads to the three 'junior' suites on the
left and, at the end of the corridor, a fourth suite comprising high
quality double sofabed, kitchenette and ensuite bathroom. This room, if
required, can be closed off from the rest of the villa and has an
independent entrance door on the side elevation of the villa - ideal for
nanny, cook or housekeeping staff. Of the other three bedrooms, two have
twin single beds and the other has two single beds whose mattresses and
bases can be zipped and secured together to convert into a king-size
double. All bedrooms have ample fitted wardrobes, luxury ensuite bath or
shower rooms with WC, washbasin and bidet, plus floor to ceiling sliding
doors to the extensive three-tiered terraces and sea views.
To the right of the
ground floor corridors are two open-air courtyards, each equipped with
quality patio furniture… ideal places for guests seeking a little
peace and solitude away from the rest of the crowd.
Back in the entrance
area are the glass-walled lift and staircase, both providing access to
the basement level and the two master suites on the upper level. Also in
this area there is a shower room/toilet that can be accessed directly
from the pool terrace.
On the upper level
just outside the lift is an open plan reception area equipped with gym
and fitness machinery. Beyond this area are the two large master suites.
To the left, a bedroom of approximately 5x7m, incorporating a large
range of built-in wardrobes, king-size bed, plasma TV, and a large
ensuite bathroom with Jacuzzi, WC, washbasin and bidet. There is a full
length opaque glass window in the dividing wall between the bedroom and
the bathroom. Sliding doors to the front provide fantastic views to the
sea and to a very spacious terrace shared with the other upper level
suite. A set of stairs to the side of this terrace leads down to the
pool terraces.
To the right of the
reception area is the largest of the suites, comprising a spacious
bedroom with king-size bed, plasma screen TV and a dressing area with a
large range of fitted wardrobes; and, like the other upper level suite,
sliding floor-to-ceiling doors providing the same breathtaking views and
access to the shared terrace. This principal suite boasts a massive and
luxurious bathroom with large circular Jacuzzi with built-in seat,
situated next to a floor-to-ceiling window overlooking another private
terrace serving only this suite, and offering wonderful views to the
sea. This stunning bathroom also has a large walk-in 'grasite' tiled
shower, WC, washbasin and bidet.
The terraces to both
of these upper level suites have a range of patio furniture, and sun
awnings over the sliding doors (as do the four downstairs bedrooms),
providing welcome shade.
The class and quality
of the interior accommodation is matched by the beautifully designed
exterior. The terraces are over three levels. The upper level outside
the lounge, dining rooms and all four ground level bedrooms, has a long
ornamental pool. There are side stairs, one with a ramp (for wheelchair
access) leading down to the middle terrace, where the main 'adult' pool
is found… this will please guests who appreciate a real lap-pool for
serious swimming! This pool is 13m long with a five-step entrance at one
end, with depth ranging from 1.4m to 2m.
A further set of steps
leads down to the lower terrace level… here is the children's pool,
again measuring 13m, but with a constant depth of just 0.75 metres.
To the right of the
pool terrace is an extensive covered outside dining terrace with teak
table and chairs, and a large BBQ, food preparation area and sink.
Around the borders of the plot the garden areas have been designed and
landscaped in the Mediterranean style, with a variety of colourful and
fragrant plants, shrubs, and screening trees in front of the traditional
drystone walls that divide the villa from the one neighbouring property
to its front elevation.
This truly superb
villa has been designed, equipped and furnished with no expense spared
and attention paid to the smallest detail. It will delight discerning
guests seeking a relaxing holiday. Monday change-over.
