Notes
- This villa is built in elegant yet rustic, Andalusian style with marble floors, central, under floor heating, antique Spanish wooden doors and high, sloped ceilings. Each bedroom has a/c and a ceiling fan for warmer weather, although the house is always pleasantly cool due to thick double walls and typically cool over night temperatures in the summer. The proprietors owned a well-known Spanish restaurant in Manhattan, so the ability to entertain friends and to enjoy fine cooking and dining were primary goals taken into consideration when this house was designed. The sloping garden blends into an olive grove with over 80 old olive trees and a vegetable garden near a small creek at the bottom of the property. The private, terraced pool area with a 10 by 4 meter salt water pool is located in the rear of the house. The pool has its own shower and bathroom building with kitchenette as well as a roofed bar area and grill for pool side barbecuing.

Why Raynold von Samson chose Arriate
We built this family home in the midst of a charming olive grove in 2001. The peace and quiet, the rural environment, the beautiful views, the friendly people, the excellent food, the central location to visit major cultural centers, and the endless beaches on the Atlantic coast, among so many other reasons made us look no further for a perfect location.
