An exquisitely beautiful mountain villa near Ronda

About

Dar Hajra is hidden away in a forest above the undiscovered ‘white village’ of Montecorto, close to Ronda. From the villa’s rocky perch you are treated to a stunning views of the Grazalema mountains. A path flanked by rosemary, lavender and honeysuckle climbs up to the house: it looks traditional enough from the outside but within, a big surprise awaits. The mountain has been wrapped into the fabric of the building and rock adds a stunning decorative element: Dar Hajra means ‘House of the Rocks’. A pyramidal atrium is the visual axis around which the open-plan lounge/diner turns. Three huge windows lead to the terrace and infinity edge plunge pool whose waters seem to merge with the sky. The sitting room, kitchen/diner and study are one huge open space, there's a large master bedroom, extraordinary bathroom and masses of books, CDs and paintings. A discrete housekeeper cleans and tidies every day and there is free broadband internet with a Mac computer.
