Perfect for 2 Families, this villa is a real ‘home from home’
As you enter Palacio Melanie into the large hallway the double doors in front of you lead to a large central covered courtyard. This courtyard has a Moorish feel & has a stylish square dining table with leather chairs. There is also an American style pool table … why not shoot some pool whilst shooting the breeze with friends and family after a memorable meal.
The living areas are located around the right-hand side of the courtyard. The lounge with large patio door opens up directly onto the terrace. The lounge has two leather sofas and two comfortable leather lazy chairs, there’s plenty of space to relax and watch TV with SKY TV (free to view package) or watch a DVD. There is also an adsl WiFi wireless Internet connection (please bring your own laptop).
The kitchen is spacious and located next to the lounge. It is well designed with granite work tops, larger style fridge freezer, ceramic hob, oven, microwave and dishwasher. There is everything here you would expect to find at home. There is a seperate utility area with a washing machine and tumble dryer.
The 4 en suite bedrooms are all located around the left side of the courtyard. These comprise of 2 twin en suite bedrooms (one with walk-in shower, the other has a bath with a shower over the bath), 1 double with en suite bathroom (with a bath and walk-in shower) and the larger master bedroom with en suite bathroom featuring a sunken bath and separate walk-in shower.
Living the Andalucian Way
Directly outside the lounge is a shaded terrace that overlooks the pool … a perfect for a place to start your day with breakfast or relaxing in the swinging chair whilst reading a newspaper.
The large pool has Roman style steps, perfect for children to splash about on. There are plenty of sun beds around the pool for relaxing and for the more active there is the table tennis table. There is a guilt-in Andalucían style BBQ and shaded alfresco dining area … perfect for a long leisurely lunch sampling all that the Mediterranean has to offer. This is where you would find me cooking pinchitos (kebabs) whilst sipping a G&T with a twist of lemon from the garden.
Centrally located yet away from it all
Palacio la Melanie is only 250 metres from the excellent Venta Los Candilles, the weekday lunch time menu is particularly good value and the mussels in saffron sauce are AMAZING! Within a 5 minute drive is ‘La Finca’, a recent discovery of ours and a ‘must try’, the lamb was particularly good.
The villa is situated in Alhaurin el Grande, a typical Spanish 'White Town' ... quieter than the coast yet uniquely positioned for discovering the beauty of Inland Spain and the coast. This is Spain how it used to be.
There are lots to see and do in the area. They don’t call it the Costa del Golf for nothing, the Seve Ballesteros designed Alhaurin golf course is just 10 minutes by car as are the riding stables and tennis courts at the Alhaurin Country Club. If you are travelling with the bucket and spade brigade, the sandy beaches of Marbella are great .
