More terrace than house over Valle Romano Golf

Three hundred and thirty-four square metres of terrace wrap around and top this 3 bedroom detached villa with private pool in Estepona, giving it considerably more outdoor space than the 220 square metres of built area. The house stands in Valle Romano Golf and looks out across the fairways to the Mediterranean Sea. Because the outdoor area is split between the entrance level, an upper balcony and a rooftop terrace, a household can use different parts of the exterior at the same time without sharing a single patio.

A vertical layout across four levels

Unlike single-storey properties, this resale home divides its rooms by function across distinct levels. You enter on the level that holds the open-plan kitchen and dining area, where large windows connect the room directly to a broad terrace. Instead of putting the main sitting area beside the kitchen, the layout places a separate TV room on the floor below. That keeps screen noise and evening television away from the kitchen table, though it also means using the stairs when moving between dinner and the sofa.

All three bedrooms sit on the upper level, accompanied by three of the property's four bathrooms and a shared balcony that takes in the open views. Having every sleeping room upstairs keeps them away from the main entrance and the pool area. The fourth bathroom serves the rest of the house, so daytime visitors do not need to go up to the bedroom floor.

The plot, the pool and the rooftop terrace

Outside, the plot includes a garden, a private pool and private parking set directly at the side of the house. Having the parking space beside the building makes unloading shopping into the entrance-level kitchen straightforward. Above the bedroom floor, a rooftop terrace caps the building and gives the widest panoramic angle over both the golf course and the sea. When viewing a 3 bedroom detached villa with private pool in Estepona arranged over this many levels, it is worth checking how the sun tracks across the pool and the different terraces from morning to late afternoon, and whether the rooftop has water and power points if you plan to dine up there.

Distances from Valle Romano into town

Valle Romano is a golf resort inland from the coast road, which means daily errands require a car. The nearest supermarket, pharmacy and restaurants are 3 kilometres away. Driving down to Estepona's marina and the promenade takes 5 kilometres from the door. You trade the ability to walk to a morning café for open golf and sea views, side-by-side private parking and a quiet residential street.
