Enjoy the stunning panoramic views from our attractive 1000 m² Asian-style luxury villa which rests on 1500 m² of land overlooking both the mountains and the Mediterranean.

With 5 luxurious bedrooms, impressive architecture and 3 indoor salons (2 with inviting fireplaces), everything has been designed to give you an unforgettable holiday.

It’s a boutique hotel. Maybe not matching five criteria, which I really do not care about; I was looking specifically for a quiet place with personal touch. Great in less rather than mediocre in a lot. I had no intentions to explore the vicinity by foot, just relax. It was just nice and quite with a good view, good breakfast served at a few nicely situated tables.

The hotel’s warm Mediterranean character is reflected in its classic interior design that offers guests timeless quality, designed by prestigious Chilean designer Jaime Beriestain’s studio, first-class gastronomy and professional service that puts the finest details first.

The hotel was terrific. You realize you are in a quality hotel when you walk in the door. Our stay was about 4 weeks, we stayed 2 weeks here and 2 weeks in another hotel. The quality was night and day, and they both are rated 5 stars. This was truly a 5-star hotel.

    Fantastic property! It exceeded expectations, beautifully designed, lovely gardens and pool area. The location was perfect, so close to the beach and Puerto Banus, we walked everywhere. The host was so friendly and helpful. If you can't decide on which property to choose I would recommend you choose this one!

    This hotel is now at the top of my list for best boutique hotels…and I’ve experienced many!We had the warmest of welcome on arrival. The hotel’s position and design is outstandingly beautiful and the collection of eclectic artwork at ever turn - spectacular. The views from the hotel over the mountain and ocean are breathtaking. Food was excellent and the owners are so delightful and eager to help with any request. We will almost certainly be returning to this hotel before the year is out!

    we only spent one night in the townhouse but loved everything about it. We were given a choice of room as they were not full. The staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfast is simple but very well presented and served in the downstairs bar. Great quirky design.
