Villa Alvaro

A modernist villa with a minimalist aesthetic in the heart of Jesús. Set behind a gated entrance, a generous, tree-lined garden provides escapism and space to unwind.

Surrounded by rustic stone walls, there’s a peaceful feel to Villa Alvaro, despite its proximity to some of the island’s most vibrant neighbourhoods. Modernist in design, its white, cubic framework pops against the pine-tree covered hills. Inside, large picture windows make the most of the views from every angle, washing living spaces in natural light.

Entire walls of glazing slide away onto a terrace, dissolving the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. A lawn dotted with olive and palm trees surrounds the inviting pool, while a row of pines brings privacy and a pervading sense of calm.

Interiors are pared back and streamlined. The fully fitted kitchen features sleek white surfaces, ample storage space and room for a table. For more formal occasions, there’s a double-aspect dining and sitting area, where white walls and tiled floors bring cohesion. From here, two sets of doors open onto terraces. Take your pick between an al fresco kitchen served by a sink and barbecue, or a second dining terrace, set beneath a dramatic double height void.

All four bedrooms share the same bright and airy aesthetic – each comes with its own bathroom for optimum comfort and convenience. For those looking to recalibrate, the principal suite occupies its own floor. A tranquil, uncluttered space, its generous footprint can accommodate a chillout zone or study. It also comes with access to a small courtyard, currently set up as an outdoor gym. On the top floor, a guest bedroom leads out to a glass-panelled terrace for sweeping views of the surrounding hills.
