The coronavirus has made us appreciate what we already knew – namely that living space is an essential part of any Marbella home, and the private area your house provides is the essence of having a safe and comfortable spot in which to relax, socialise, entertain, enjoy family life and be yourself.
Most of the time, it is a welcome oasis of peace and privacy in the midst of hectic lifestyles, but under the unique current circumstances the value of a spacious, comfortable home is even clearer, as we are now spending extended periods of time in Marbella, quarantined in our villas, apartments and townhouses.
The right home is spacious enough to provide breathing space, a sense of different yet intimate rooms and interconnected living areas, as well as sliding doors that can let in natural light and expansive sea, mountain and/or golf views.
These are the things that make a home agreeable and the kind of place you want to spend time in. Ambient lighting and attractive décor complete the scene, as well as a pleasant residential setting, but very important is outdoor space too.
Luxury homes with outdoor space
Terraces are important elements in villas and townhouses, but vital in apartments, as you extend the living area outwards and in the wonderful Marbella climate these allow you to take in views and relax, dine and entertain al fresco.
Townhouses and especially villas usually offer a garden, that verdant buffer of private domain, which allows you to enjoy peace and privacy, as well as being surrounded by your own private space and beautiful greenery full of amenities such as swimming pools, Jacuzzis, poolside cabanas and even tennis courts.
Next time you look for a property to buy, therefore, keep an eye on homes such as these wonderful Marbella properties with gardens and terraces, and you too will just want to spend time at home in your own little palace, be it a villa, mansion, apartment or penthouse.
