Just the name of “Maitreya” conjures up mystery and romance; Maitreya, a villa for the select who search for perfection.

Viewing the villa now it’s hard to appreciate that until recently the villa was crudely abandoned, emptied due to petty thieving and abused by graffiti neglect.

However, three years ago the company was able to purchase this famous villa and execute a meticulous and expensive refurbishment. The main skeleton framework was where possible respected, and one of the architectural highlights was to save the magnificent Italian marble fireplace, which in its day cost a fortune to transport to Menorca .

Today, this palatial villa can provide every luxury to meet the exacting standards of twelve guests, with one VIP master suite and five personalised double bedrooms, each with a private bathroom.

The internal decorator used art work and quality décor to enhance the villas ambiance. On entering the vestibule of the villa, you are immediately greeted with a noble olive wood sculpture and elegant sliding doors leading into the main lounge. This airy room is furnished with satellite TV, DVD, leather sofas; soft lighting etc to offer style and comfort, yet the majestic curved stairway, the coloured walls and original paintings, the marble chimney breast defines its true elegance.

The dining room is exquisite, a family teak dining table with a hanging Italian designer table lamp, an original painting by Nuria Roman, and astonishingly complimentary red furnishings.

The Italian kitchen was fitted to please and perform, with a large American fridge with ice dispenser, a dishwasher, a fitted coffee maker, an integrated microwave, a 90cm oven and hob, and a horrendous amount of crockery, cutlery and table service wear to cater for every possible occasion.

The discreet exterior laundry area includes a washing machine and drying area.

The perfection of the interior is also reflected in the exterior. White mares tiles cover the expanse of the exterior, and browns and ivories have been utilized to decorate the lounge and BBQ dining area. Large remote control electrical sun canopies can be chosen to protect from the sun, a sun that accompanies the villa all day.

The 40sq.m designer salt pool has optic lighting with various colour options to match ones mood, there is also a decorative tap with pressure spa, an inbuilt Jacuzzi and a warm water external shower.

Incredibly this elite villa enjoys great privacy as it is built above the avenue level and has a flourishing coloured garden with flowers, shrubs, olive trees and lawns to the front. On the avenue level there is a double garage with remote control opening and an automatic-video control to access the property.

The villas were very cleverly designed to avoid any architectural monotony, so within the estate, seven villas were built as bungalows and seven built on two floors. Another feature of their construction was the consideration regarding the privacy factor between each villa; this was resolved admirably by designing the villas at angles and by planting the gardens to buffer each property.

The estate has two general entrances with remote control doors, and each villa has their own remote control door to their own car port.

The bungalow villas, numbers 1 to 7, have the advantage of a design friendly interior and exterior to accommodate guests with mobility difficulties. To prevent any confusion whilst making your reservation, the company refers to these bungalows as Finesse type 1.

Walking into the Finesse, we want you to feel the ambience of your surroundings, the cool of the air conditioning or the warm breeze of the heating, the aura of tranquillity, the elegance and quality of the furnishings and fittings, mixed with a unique service that delights and satisfies your confidence in us.

Bold warming colours have been used in the lounge with furnishings chosen to compliment and serve well. Within one of the discreet lounge cabinets you have a satellite TV with DVD and music centre. From the lounge you walk out to the covered and open pool terraces via large glass sliding doors.

The fully fitted open plan kitchen can easily provoke the holiday chef in you, preparing culinary delights or “off to the beach “snacks. The villas electrical appliances include vitro–hob and oven, dishwasher, washing machine, large fridge freezer, grill, coffee machine and an abundance of cooking pots, pans and utensils. All the dining crockery, crystal ware and cutlery are geared for up to twelve diners. There is a storage pantry with cleaning aides and the ironing equipment.

The open plan dining room flows on from the kitchen, of which the walls have been painted the same bold warming colours as the lounge and the use of original paint work adds chic. For any intimate or family dining occasion the crystal top circular dining table seats six diners.

Summer life is exterior life and the outside area and facilities of the Finesse will not upset. The covered terrace has been furnished for outdoor meals with a large table and terrace chairs. Four cane chairs with crème coloured cushions are ideal for that quiet pre dinner drink, or to sit with that book you brought out purposely to read, or maybe to just sit back, ponder the thoughts and sip that glass of rioja.

By the pool side you will find reclining sun lounges and a grand parasol. The rectangular 40 square meter salt water pool can be heated, with prior notice and discussion with the company. The pool has an integrated Jacuzzi and jet stream. Whilst the pool is not in use there is also an automatic blanket cover option.

The flourishing beauty of the estates established gardens adds colour and aroma to the Finesse, but these local plants and shrubs were also chosen to reduce the need to water constantly and respect the environment.
