Interior Layout of this Villa for sale in El Madronal Benahavis
Arranged across three levels, the villa has been designed to balance open-plan living with clearly defined lifestyle zones. Floor-to-ceiling glazing introduces abundant natural light while integrated sun protection ensures year-round comfort.

Upstairs, the master suite prioritises privacy and comfort, offering two en-suite bathrooms and separate dressing areas. Additional bedrooms are generously proportioned, while a staff room and dedicated laundry area support practical day-to-day living.
