La Reserva de Sotogrande

This contemporary villa with a separate guest house sits in Zona L, inside the gated La Reserva development in La Reserva de Sotogrande, San Roque, Cádiz. Completed in 2020 and set over two levels, it has six bedrooms and six bathrooms in total: four bedrooms in the main house and two more in the guest house. Indoor rooms and outdoor spaces were planned together, and the house faces south and east.

The main house is built around a bright open-plan layout, with large living areas arranged to make the most of the natural light. The contemporary kitchen is fitted with SMEG and Bosch appliances, so it works as well for a quick family breakfast as for cooking for a houseful of guests.

Four bedrooms are in the main house. The principal suite has its own balcony and a private en-suite bathroom. In a separate building, the guest house adds two bedrooms with their own kitchen, lounge and bathrooms. Visiting parents, grown-up children or friends staying for a fortnight can keep their own routine there and still be a few steps from the pool.

Outdoor life centres on the private swimming pool, the barbecue area and a well-kept private garden. The guest house opens straight onto the pool and barbecue. A poolside cabaña has comfortable seating, a television, a fridge and its own outdoor WC, so a long afternoon by the water rarely needs a trip back indoors.

A smart-home system controls the lighting, security locks, curtains and alarm. The villa also has fibre-optic internet, satellite television, air conditioning and a carport. La Reserva is gated with 24-hour security, and owners can use the facilities of La Reserva Club, including golf, family activities and The Beach, the Club's sandy inland beach on a lagoon, on the Club's own terms. Sotogrande Marina and Sotogrande International School are within easy reach.
