Description
If you are attracted to the Ronda area and your idea is to live in a finca with unique characteristics, I invite you to visit this property. Designed by an internationally renowned Argentinean architect, landscape designer and decorator, this finca will be yet another example of why this professional was chosen by the likes of Julio Iglesias, for example.
With a strong Andalusian accent, but with Arab, Italian, English and French touches, this estate was built by Mr. Mario Connio. In love with this place, he masterfully brought together different styles in an elegant and sophisticated way, without losing any of the warmth and good taste.
Here, the design and the care of more than 40 years, allow you to enjoy a garden of about 12.000m². Cobbled paths, wisteria pergolas, vines, mulberry trees, calla lilies, lotus flowers, lilies, jasmine among many other plants and flowers, invite you to surrender to a dreamlike natural setting, among ponds and fountains in the best style of the gardens of the Alhambra.
The buildings, both inside and out, add to all this natural beauty, a colourful palette of colours and strong, solid materials. Iron, clay, stone, wood, mosaics, tiles Everything fits together to achieve a perfect combination of rustic and sophistication.
The interior decoration transports us around the world just as this world-famous architect did. He chose handcrafted tapestries, ornaments, art pieces and furniture from his various travels to inhabit this cosy haven of tranquillity.
In an area of almost 140.000m² (14 ha) and in the midst of a forest of holm oaks more than 200 years old, olive, almond, walnut, pistachio and other fruit trees, there are 2 lots: La Vinuela (± 8.5 ha) and La Canada (± 5 ha). Together they give shelter to about 800m², built in different buildings that resemble a summer palace.
The buildings are: main house (cortijo house), guest suite, studio, cottage, 2 greenhouses, a domed gazebo, a garage and a pool area.
CORTIJO HOUSE
It consists of a single storey house with a floor space of approx. 250m². It is entered through a hall which leads to a glass-roofed courtyard with leafy ferns. This patio is the central axis of the construction and from which the rest of the rooms are distributed. The kitchen (fully equipped), a separate dining room with fireplace, 2 bedrooms en-suite, a U-shaped living room with several rooms and fireplaces which is connected to the outside by a covered terrace of 23m². From here you can enjoy the extraordinary views of Ronda and its mountains.
GUEST SUITE
The so-called guest suite is located a few meters away from the main house and has a separate entrance. This building (about 32m²) was formerly a bread oven and has been converted into a distinguished guest room with fireplace and en-suite bathroom.
STUDIO
A beautiful cobbled promenade with lined fountains and pergolas of Virginia creeper and mulberry trees leads to the studio house. The studio has a living area of 108m² and has a separate kitchen, en-suite bedroom, living room with fireplace and its own patio.
