Villa Mazo

Villa Mazo is a stunning modern four-bedroom villa for up to eight guests is located just a short drive away from the quintessential whitewashed town of Mijas and offers beautiful panoramic views that stretch all the way across the mountainous countryside and down to the twinkling sea beyond.

The home itself is shaped like an 'L', creating a sense of separation between the sociable living spaces, which include a large open-plan sunken seating area and a stylish, state-of-the-art kitchen with an adjoining dining table – all of which look over an open onto the swimming pool – and the tranquil bedrooms, also with wonderfully calming views.

Entering the home on the first floor, you will find yourself first greeted by the main living areas. Characterised by their high ceilings, huge floor-to-ceiling sliding doors that open out to the terrace and the invitingly turquoise swimming pool, and a sleek minimalist style that still manages to exude a certain retro glamour – thanks to cool features such as the freestanding central stone fireplace and expertly-placed splashes of bright colour – these spaces are bright, versatile, and offer endless opportunities for socialising as well as moments of serenity. We especially love how the sliding doors on two sides can be opened all the way, effectively disappearing and giving the entire room over to the great outdoors, therefore allowing that magnificent mountain view to becoming part of the living space.

On the ground level, you will find an incredibly well-equipped modern gym filled with all the fitness equipment you could need to work off any of those holiday excesses during your stay. Start your day off the right way with a run on the treadmill while admiring the mountains, or step out onto the lower terrace for a little yoga in the morning sun. This lower terrace, partly covered in grass, also houses a pool table, ping pong, and foosball, as well as some trendy hanging chairs into which you can climb and lose yourself in a good book. On this level, one that is cut into the hill itself, you will also find a dedicated TV/cinema room that's perfect for curling up with a classic, catching up on the latest binge-worthy series, or finding a new family film favourite.

A design-forward floating exterior staircase takes you back past the ground level and up to the first floor, where you’ll find the bedrooms, all of which are ensuite, offering access to the wraparound first-floor balcony and finished in their own distinctive funky yet minimalist style. Each has bespoke fitted wardrobes and bright artwork that add life to the otherwise monochrome palette.

Located in the relatively quiet urbanisation of Voltacado and set amid a dramatic, unspoiled landscape – yet still within easy reach of lovely Mijas and only a fifteen-minute drive to the coast at Fuengirola – this villa provides you with a taste of pure tranquillity, and amenities, action, and adventure when you want it.
