Perched between rolling hills and overlooking the sea, Villa Madroñal greets visitors with a striking xerophytic garden. Here, Yuccas rostrata, Agaves, Dasyliriums, and Opuntias take center stage. Gravel and rock mulch accentuate the sculptural silhouettes of these plants, crafting a textured landscape that evokes distant, arid realms.
Step through the entrance, and the scenery transforms. Lush greenery unfolds — carefully composed yet full of life. Palms, Philodendrons, Strelitzias, Scheffleras, Papyrus, and Alocasias form a refreshing oasis that harmonizes with the villa’s architecture of clean lines, white walls, and natural stone. The gentle murmur of a fountain adds an atmosphere of serenity.
From here, the front garden flows seamlessly toward a poolside seating area. An organic pathway, lined with false pepper trees, Ficus lyrata, and Agapanthus, leads to this inviting space where lemon trees take center stage — a perfect setting for gathering, sharing, and savoring leisurely moments.
Descending to the villa’s lower level, the landscape evolves once again, revealing a Brazilian-inspired garden. A custom-designed staircase guides visitors through a lush composition of Aralias, Alpinias, Cordylines, Ferns, Yuccas, and Palms. Open areas invite events and social gatherings, while a hedge of Elaeagnus and Metrosideros encloses the space. Areca palms, Albizias, and Pennisetum advena ‘Rubrum’ bring movement, texture, and vitality to the scene. A viewpoint overlooking the mountains completes this immersive, sensorial experience.
The villa also caters to its youngest visitors, featuring an outdoor play area with a wooden playhouse and a slide nestled into a landscaped slope.
Villa Madroñal is more than a home — it’s a landscape journey. By uniting diverse gardens within a single harmonious design, it transports its visitors to faraway worlds — without ever leaving home.
