This palatial eight-bedroom townhouse (currently operating as hotel) is set in a traditional Spanish “white village” near Ronda. The village is one of seven dotted around the secluded valley and interconnected by marvellous walking trails. They are unspoiled, and retain a charm that has been lost in most other areas. This is truly the “real” Spain!
The exotic Moroccan-influenced building is not a restoration but a completely new structure (construction completed 2004) conforming to modern building standards (including full disabled access) and using modern materials. The architect went to great lengths to ensure that the building retained a traditional exterior appearance in keeping with its prominent place in the village. Designed to be a hotel, he created the building so it would function equally well as a luxurious residence. The hotel, which has been operating since May 2004, offers sophisticated accommodation to a discerning clientele, and is ranked as one of the top hotels in the Ronda area. The business (in its fourth year) receives excellent reviews and is still increasing in popularity as its unsolicited recognition in British press continues.
The property includes a café bar, gift shop, laundry, storeroom, wood store, kitchen (granite worktops, central island, sinks, draining boards, electric oven, gas hob and oven, fridges, freezers, great deal of open shelving and storage), family dining room, six bedrooms (with balcony, ensuite bathroom), two self-contained apartments (living room with balcony, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, private rooftop terrace), main entrance/reception (with antique chestnut entrance doors), drawing room (with a Bodart-Gonay wood burning fireplace), snug (with honesty bar, TV, DVD, library and games), dining room (seating twenty four), Moorish courtyard, Writer’s Gallery, rooftop terrace (with plunge pool, pagoda and panoramic views of the village, surrounding mountains and chestnut groves) and a LMDS antenna (giving broadband and telephone).
Reluctantly offered for sale at very low price due to the retirement and ill-health of the owner, all the hard work here has been done. This is a turnkey operation with fixtures and fittings worth €100,000, website, online booking service, contact database, reservations for 2008 and a lucrative contract for 2008-2009 with a leading UK active holiday company all in place. Viewing highly recommended!
