Villa Castellina

1. Location & Lifestyle

Discover a rare sanctuary in the heart of La Zagaleta—Europe’s most coveted private estate, where privacy, security, and natural beauty set the rhythm of daily life. Here, you’re not just buying a home, but a way of living: morning walks through pine-scented trails, afternoons on championship golf courses, and evenings spent gazing over the Mediterranean, Gibraltar shimmering on the horizon. Moments from Marbella’s vibrant coast, yet a world apart, Villa Castellina is where refined living finds its truest expression.

2. The Setting

Set on an exceptionally private, elevated plot of 4,553 m², Villa Castellina commands a front-row seat to nature’s finest show. Designed by the legendary Melvin Villarroel, the villa is one of La Zagaleta’s original gems—an address that speaks of heritage, discretion, and timeless appeal. Mature gardens, tiered terraces, and a winding driveway envelop you in serenity from the moment you arrive. Every room is a vantage point: lush valley, the endless blue of the Mediterranean, the distant silhouette of Gibraltar—views that evolve with the day, always captivating.

3. The Home

Spanning 893 m² of living space and 325 m² of terraces, the villa is a masterclass in proportion and harmony. Step inside to discover sunlit interiors, high ceilings, graceful arches, and signature curved lines—a Tuscan-inspired palette that feels both classic and inviting. The main living room, anchored by a traditional fireplace, opens seamlessly to panoramic terraces, inviting the outside in.

On the ground floor, the master suite is a retreat in every sense: direct sea views, a generous walk-in wardrobe, and a marble-clad bathroom with its own private sauna—each morning begins with the Mediterranean at your feet. The gourmet kitchen, finished with marble worktops, flows into a stylish bar and a dramatic octagonal dining room—spaces made for both intimate family moments and elegant entertaining.

4. Interior & Design

A sculptural spiral staircase leads to the upper floor, where a beautifully appointed guest suite enjoys its own private terrace and sweeping views—offering comfort, privacy, and a sense of escape. On the lower ground level, two further bedrooms provide flexible accommodation, including one with a sitting area and kitchenette—ideal for long-term guests or staff. A vast garage for five cars, and a partially unfinished area ready for your vision—cinema, gym, spa, or a bespoke suite.

Throughout, light and landscape are constant companions. Expansive arched windows frame the ever-changing Andalusian light, while natural materials and subtle textures evoke a sense of place and permanence.

5. The Spirit of the Home

Villa Castellina is a home with soul. Every detail—handcrafted finishes, the gentle curve of a staircase, the embrace of mature gardens—whispers of authenticity and quiet luxury. Here, mornings begin with birdsong and sea breezes, afternoons drift by beside a clover-shaped infinity pool, and evenings are spent under starry skies, surrounded by loved ones. It’s a place for slow living, for gathering, for making memories that last.
