Description
Located in the picturesque town of Ronda, this expansive rustic farm spans approximately 140,000 m² and features a diverse landscape, including a forest of ancient oaks over 200 years old, as well as olive groves, almond trees, walnut trees, pistachios, and various fruit orchards.
The property blends a strong Andalusian influence with elements from Arabic, Italian, English, and French design, creating a harmonious atmosphere that reflects the best of each culture. This exceptional fusion was brought to life by the renowned architect and landscaper, Mario Connio, whose masterful touch has transformed this estate into a one-of-a-kind experience.
Entering "La Viñuela" is like embarking on a journey through the romantic landscape of Ronda. The 12,000 m² of beautifully landscaped gardens offer a sensory delight, with cobblestone paths, pergolas draped in wisteria, vines, mulberry trees, fountains, ponds, papyrus, lotus flowers, jasmine, and agapanthus. Every corner invites visitors to indulge in the tranquil beauty of the surroundings.
A key feature of the property is the rich color palette and the quality of materials used throughout the estate. Stones, clay, iron, wood, mosaics, glazed tiles, lime, natural pigments, glass, and artisan fibers are carefully combined using traditional craftsmanship to enhance the overall aesthetic and charm.
The interior of the estate is equally impressive, with elegant and sophisticated decor throughout. Hand-stitched fabrics, custom upholstery from distant travels, antiques and furniture sourced from around the world, and artwork adorn each room. Every detail is carefully considered to create a cozy, yet luxurious atmosphere—an exceptional country house experience that exceeds expectations and invites guests to linger.
