Villa Tilo, La Zagaleta, Benahavís

There are properties that seek isolation. And there are locations where privacy is part of the place itself. Villa Tilo is located in La Zagaleta, Benahavís, on a private plot of 4,418 m² facing west. A Mediterranean architecture villa that combines the traditional character of this type of residence with contemporary interior design. The property features 983 m² built, excluding terraces, with six bedrooms and a significant collection of spaces dedicated to leisure and wellness. But perhaps the figure that best explains Villa Tilo is not the surface area of the house. It is its more than 4,400 m² of plot within La Zagaleta. Villa Tilo starts from recognizable Mediterranean architecture, but brings a more contemporary aesthetic indoors. The home combines wood, marble, and custom finishes, seeking a warm and sophisticated atmosphere without losing its residential character. The living room is designed as an open space connected to the main social areas of the home, while the gourmet kitchen and various dining areas allow the house to adapt to both daily life and gatherings with guests. A particularly interesting combination for those seeking a property with Mediterranean identity without renouncing modern interiors. Villa Tilo has 6 bedrooms, 6 full bathrooms, and 2 additional toilets. Its 983 m² built allows for a clear separation between residential spaces and areas dedicated to entertainment, wellness, and service. The home incorporates various lounge and dining areas, both indoors and outdoors, as well as specific quarters for staff. Its main dimensions are: 983 m² built, excluding terraces. 53 m² of terraces. Plot of 4,418 m². 6 bedrooms. 6 full bathrooms. 2 additional toilets. Staff accommodation. A significant part of Villa Tilo’s program is dedicated to something that is becoming increasingly important in this segment: enjoying the property without the need to leave it. The villa incorporates a particularly complete selection of private spaces: Cinema room. Wine cellar. Bar. Gym. Sauna. Entertainment spaces. Staff quarters. These are not improvised rooms within auxiliary spaces, but part of the design of a residence conceived to combine private life, guests, leisure, and wellness. The exterior is one of Villa Tilo’s major selling points. The home is situated on an isolated plot of 4,418 m², surrounded by mature gardens and vegetation. In the center of these outdoor spaces is a heated infinity pool, accompanied by various terraces and areas designed for dining, relaxing, or entertaining guests outdoors. The west orientation also allows for particularly enjoying the last hours of the day. Here, the plot does not simply function as the land on which the house has been built. It is a fundamental part of the experience of living in it. Villa Tilo does not seek an urban relationship with Marbella. It seeks precisely the opposite. Its position within La Zagaleta provides open views over the natural landscape, reinforced by the dimensions of the plot and the vegetation surrounding the residence. The result is a property that is visually protected, where architecture, gardens, and landscape function as different layers of privacy. The location constitutes one of Villa Tilo’s main assets. The property is located within La Zagaleta, a gated residential community in Benahavís characterized by its high level of privacy and security. Residents have 24-hour security, as well as access to private facilities including golf courses and an equestrian center. This allows Villa Tilo not to depend solely on its own amenities: it is part of a residential environment that adds services and an additional layer of privacy to the property. Villa Tilo has practically all the amenities that can be sought in a residence of this category: heated pool, cinema, gym, sauna, wine cellar, and spaces for guests and staff. But its main argument lies outside the house. 4,418 m² of private plot within La Zagaleta. The interiors can be updated. Amenities can be added. Even a home can be completely transformed. The combination of plot, privacy, and location is much harder to find again.
