Villa Penati - Elegant Villa in La Reserva de La Quinta

This Andalusian-inspired villa for sale in La Reserva de La Quinta, Benahavís, offers a rare combination of character, privacy and a privileged frontline golf position. Built on a generous plot of more than 1,400 m² and presented in excellent condition, the property provides over 500 m² of total built space, including substantial terraces designed for year-round outdoor living. Its architecture reflects the timeless style that defines this prestigious residential enclave, while the interior layout ensures comfort, functionality and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape.
A striking double-height foyer introduces the home and immediately conveys a sense of scale. The main house is distributed across two levels and includes four en-suite bedrooms, offering the convenience required for both full-time and seasonal living. Three of the bedrooms occupy the upper floor and each enjoys a private terrace with calming views over La Quinta Golf Course, the mature gardens and the surrounding greenery. The fourth bedroom sits on the ground floor with direct access to the garden, a valuable configuration for guests or residents who prefer single-level comfort. The social areas are equally appealing, with a generous main living room that connects naturally to the outdoor spaces and a separate sitting room that allows for flexible living arrangements. The fully fitted kitchen, equipped with a breakfast area and tranquil garden outlook, creates a practical and inviting everyday hub.
The lower level offers additional versatility in the form of a self-contained apartment complete with its own bedroom, living space and bathroom. Currently used for guest accommodation, it could be converted into a secure garage for up to three vehicles if preferred. Beyond the interior, the outdoor areas reflect the essence of Mediterranean living. Landscaped gardens, shaded terraces and thoughtfully designed seating areas surround the heated swimming pool, making the exterior just as functional and enjoyable as the interior.
