French gardens lend perfect proportions against the rugged mountains of southern Spain at this stately country home outside Cádiz. Trickling fountains and a square reflecting pool create a formal backdrop for the villa, whose twin wings and tiled roof announce its traditional elegance. Walk 8 minutes to views of Gibraltar from San Roque Golf Club or drive to see it from golden Playa Alcaidesa. 

The manicured gardens make the grounds feel tranquil and private—all the better to have a dip in the swimming pool, lay out with a book on the loungers, and heat up the barbecue for lunch or dinner at the alfresco table for 8. In the evenings, flip on the satellite TV and integrated sound system, and face off against friends and family over the pool table. 

Arched doors lead from the pool terrace into an open-concept dining room and fully equipped kitchen, whose ornate molded fireplace contrasts with the sleek lines of the cabinets. The separate living room invites unwinding on a pair of sofas around a fireplace, and a double-height foyer will impress with its beamed ceilings and mezzanine library. 

This luxury property has 2 bedrooms with queen beds, including a master suite with its own terrace and mountain views, and 3 bedrooms with 2 twin beds each. All 5 have ensuite bathrooms and the same gracefully arched windows, along with neutral tones for a restful feel. 

Though the Sotogrande area doesn’t get the press of many neighboring Costa del Sol resorts, it’s long been a favorite of royals and celebs on holiday. Find out why as you tee off on the two beautifully laid out courses and San Roque Golf Club, an 8-minute walk from this vacation rental, or relive your honeymoon with a stroll along the golden sands of Playa Alcaidesa, 7 kilometers away by car.
