Villa i Mijas

Villa in Valtocado, Mijas: the Mediterranean at your feet, panoramic views and the mountains at your back Some homes are remembered for their square metres. Others are remembered for what you see from them. This is one of the latter. Set high in Valtocado, moments from Mijas Pueblo, this villa enjoys uninterrupted panoramic views across the whole coastline. On one side, the Mediterranean shimmers on the horizon. On the other, the green Sierra de Mijas rises close by and seems to wrap around the house. In between, valleys, hills and countryside stretch as far as the eye can see. A landscape that changes by the hour With its south and west orientation, the house is bathed in light from dawn to dusk. In the morning, the sun spills down the mountainside and picks out every fold of the sierra. At midday, the sea turns a deep, vivid blue. Then, as evening falls, comes the real show: the sun sinks behind the mountains and the sky over the coast glows in shades of orange and pink. Here, sunsets are part of everyday life, not just a holiday treat. Every window a painting The villa's Mediterranean architecture is designed around the landscape. Arches, large picture windows and round windows frame the views like works of art. From the sitting room, with its fireplace, the horizon finds its way into every corner. In the kitchen, finished in fine wood with a large central island, a window seat looks straight out to the mountains. It is the best spot in the house for your first coffee of the day. All four bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, and each offers the luxury of waking up to the view. Outside, the horizon has no limits Beneath the bougainvillea, the covered terrace is a natural viewpoint for long lunches and dinners with the sea as your backdrop. The private pool looks out over the valley, so a swim feels like gliding towards the mountains. The garden, set within a 2,460 m² plot, adds a lush green foreground that makes the views even more spectacular. Peace up here, everything within reach below Up here, the bustle of the coast feels far away, and all you hear is birdsong and the breeze. Even so, shops, schools, golf courses and amenities are just minutes away, and the sea you admire every day is only a short drive whenever you fancy a trip to the beach.
