Some 300 metres from the beach in Casasola, a Mediterranean villa surrounded by mature gardens that give it rare privacy this close to the sea.

Villa Casasola, a Mediterranean villa with six bedrooms just 300 metres from the beach, in one of the most established residential areas of Guadalmina Baja. The house is arranged over two floors, wrapped in mature gardens that give the house a privacy rarely found this close to the sea.

The figures back up that first impression: 465 m² built on a plot of 1,697 m², with some 50 m² of terraces. Dimensions that translate into generous rooms and a garden where the pool and the sitting areas share the grounds with space to spare.

The double-height entrance hall, overlooked by the gallery of the upper floor, leads into a bright, generously sized living and dining room, where large glass doors open onto the covered terraces and the garden. The separate kitchen, modern in style, is fully fitted; next to it sit the dining room and a separate TV room. A study and a staff bedroom complete the home.

The six bedrooms revolve around a main suite with a walk-in wardrobe, a bathroom finished in green marble and access to a private terrace facing the garden. The remaining bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, with bathrooms spread across both floors. Thanks to its south orientation, the terraces and pool are in the sun for most of the day.

Outside is the heart of the house: covered terraces with sitting and al fresco dining areas, a heated pool set into the lawn and an established garden with palms and mature trees. The garage is currently used as a gym, the laundry room is independent and the driveway offers space for several cars.

Casasola is a quiet residential urbanisation with security, within Guadalmina Baja, next to Estepona and a short drive from San Pedro de Alcántara. The beach lies some 300 metres away, the Guadalmina golf courses a few minutes by car, and both Puerto Banús and Marbella are an easy drive along the coast. The area connects with the services along the coast, including schools, shops and restaurants.

The Real Club de Golf Guadalmina, with its two 18-hole courses, is a few minutes away by car and rounds out a setting made for enjoying the house all year round, not only in season.

Upstairs, the gallery that overlooks the entrance hall distributes the main bedrooms and gives the house a sense of space felt from the moment you walk in. Built in 2000, the villa keeps the classic layout of its time, with clearly defined rooms, and pairs that solidity with renewed kitchen and bathroom interiors. The house has air conditioning and a storage room, and it is offered with negotiable furniture.
