At first glance, this 19th-century Andalusian farmhouse looks the picture of a Spanish country house, with its ivy-clad white walls and sun-soaked terraces. But inside, this home's architect has embraced a futuristic, minimal design – our highlights are the rocket-ship fireplace and colourful en-suite screens. An open-plan layout offers plenty of room for entertaining – but there's also 26 hectares of private gardens to explore, featuring a swimming pool, lavender fields, and olive groves. On that note – set aside some time to visit the on-site olive oil museum, where you can try the estate's produce. Or, head for the historic town of Ronda for a day soaking up Andalusian history.

Home truths

  • While not all the bedrooms and bathrooms have been photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.

  • Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.

  • You'll enjoy discounted entry to the on-site olive oil museum here – it's a few minutes' walk away.
