Mr & Mrs Smith

Stay at Casa Duquesa and one thing is guaranteed: you’ll feel like Spanish royalty. Promenade the foliage-filled gardens, splash in the aquamarine-sparkling pool or linger over a lunch under palm trees… in fact, topping up your tan on the sun terrace overlooking the orchards and olives is as taxing as it gets. Especially with uniformed staff waiting behind the scenes for your beck and call.

From the outside this extra-special casa looks appears carved from creamy nougat. The interior is a world away from hotel-style luxury, with timeless, traditional antiques blended with a modern attention to detail. Whether you want to have an intimate, relaxing holiday or get married in full pull-out-the-stops glory, this magnificent home is anything but ordinary.

Raise a glass to your special occasion beneath the chapel’s arches or overlooking the twinkling aquamarine pool. The large swimming pool has its own inside-out living space with a chic summer kitchen and lounge area. This sympathetically restored 17th-century finca even has a dove-grey vaulted crypt suited to the grandest of functions.
