The Villa La Jolla (Marbella)

The Villa La Jolla is a timeless elegant Villa situated in a small private Urbanisation (Las Merinas) in Cascada de Camojan, neighbouring Sierra Blanca – the two most exclusive Urbanisations in Marbella. There is no better location in all of Marbella.

Merinas is a small private Urbanisation with our own private dead end street closed off by a big metal security gate to Sierra Blanca and the outside world. And of course with the best security cameras etc. etc. The YEARLY fee for the Urbanisation is 400 Euros which is what the other Urbanisations pay PER MONTH. There are only 8 owners.

The plot of the Villa is 2233 m2 and the built up area over 1000 m2. When you enter the plot through a beautiful wrought iron gate you are on a spacious open area – leading down to the garage in the back – with a fountain on your left and the Villa to your right. The front of the Villa shows this timeless classical style you will often find in classical Villas in the middle of Europe (f.i.Vienna).

Entering the south facing Villa is through a high, massive wooden door with beautifully carved design. Inside the entry hall, which is over 7 m high, you have a double marble staircase on the left and on the right side leading up to the upper floor. It has a wall painting on the upper part and a huge sliding glass door that separates the hall from the big Salon. If the sliding glass door is open you have already a breath-taking view through the Salon over the terrace, the pool and garden down to the blue Mediterranean see. And on clear days even to Africa.

The Salon has a marble fireplace on the west side and on the east side an elevated dining area—divided by two marble columns and an arch. Outside there is a big porch, partly going around the villa. From the porch outside the salon 9 steps are leading down to a beautiful garden (with artificial grass and therefore always beautiful and green) and a 10 m long SALTWATER POOL (can be heated). There is also a solar shower close to the pool. The mature plants and abundance of flowers show a well maintained garden. On the Westside of the Villa you have an independent apartment with its own terrace (sea view) and separate entrance. It consists of living room, kitchenette, bedroom and big bathroom with bathtub, shower, double wash basins and toilet.

On the right side of the hallway is the guest toilet and the left side leads to the kitchen, passing the 6 person elevator (leading from the garage to the first floor), the office and then on the right side the “Little Salon”, a very cosy room with library, where you can spend your evenings with reading or watching TV.

Straight on is the kitchen, about 25 m2 with a central cooking island and all the equipment you need in a modern kitchen. Also very practical and useful the adjacent laundry and utility room.

Now let’s move back to the entrance hall and use the beautiful marble staircase up to the first floor. We turn left, pass the elevator and reach the entrance door to the “East Bedroom.” Nicely furnished with a 4-poster bed you can see parts of Marbella and a lot of the sea down below when you wake up in the morning and look through the glass doors over the terrace. En-suite another beautiful marble bathroom with a little balcony with views of Marbella’s famous mountain “La Concha”.

Next to it the “South Bedroom”. From this elegant and bright south facing bedroom you also have already from the bed a fantastic view to the garden and on to the sea. And even better views from the terrace. The marble en-suite bathroom has a door leading to the east terrace with views over Marbella and the sea.

Next to this room is the “Master Bedroom”, approx. 55 m2 with high vaulted ceiling. Through the 5 meter wide sliding glass doors you have a spectacular view to the Mediterranean, mirroring the blue sky and sometimes the coast of Africa. On the left side the bedroom has also an impressive fire place. Then a door leads to the master bathroom and another to the walk in closet.

Entering the master bath room is like entering a women`s dream. The room is about 25 m2 large and is completely in the very luxurious marble “ROSA PORTUGESA”. On the south side it has a big Jacuzzi in an elevated position – with 2 very beautiful big marble columns on each side. This is definitely every women`s dream – having a foam bath, sipping a glass of champagne and looking down to Marbella and the wide side of the blue sea – and Africa in the distance. Also indirect lighting makes an intimate atmosphere. Cleopatra would have liked it.

Separated by a small door is the toilet and the bidet.

Of course there are double washbasins and a spacious shower – also completely marble – and – I hate to repeat myself – views of the sea. Next to it is the “Beauty Corner”, an area where the lady of the house can do her hair and make-up.

Directly from the entrance hall leads another staircase to the “West-Room”, another beautiful en-suite bedroom, with a terrace that once again gives you fantastic views of the ocean. And again the view from the bathroom is of La Concha Mountain.

The Basement:

The Villa also has a basement which you can reach by – either walking down inside from the ground floor on a marble staircase, using the elevator or driving down the driveway leading to the garage. At the entrance of the garage you have a staff quarter with a bright living room/Kitchen (well equipped) and a bathroom, with bathtub, shower, toilet, and bidet.

The garage has space for 12 (TWELVE) cars.

A Gym of around 50 m2 is the envy of Arnold Schwarzenegger because it is very well equipped and has natural light, a nice bathroom with shower and a sauna, also with infrared. There is also next to the gym a storage room which could be converted into a bedroom.

Next to it is a room that has a water deposit of about 12000 litres and the pool equipment and all the gardeners stuff + the sprinkler system. And last but not least we have the machinery room with all the heating, cooling equipment, the solar and the photovoltaic equipment.
