Exclusive Historic Villa in Alcázar de San Juan

John Taylor presents this stunning 19th-century manor house, officially protected as a Cultural Heritage Site, located in the historic center of Alcázar de San Juan — the iconic Cervantine town in the heart of La Mancha, just 155 km from Madrid.

With its grand neoclassical façade reminiscent of a city palace, the property blends timeless elegance with a high-end modern restoration. The architectural harmony, clean lines, and symmetrical design are beautifully emphasized by Ionic pilasters, wrought-iron balconies, and a stately wooden gate that leads to the former agricultural area.

Inside, the original layout has been preserved, centered around a breathtaking Renaissance-style porticoed courtyard, inspired by the classic Mediterranean atrium. The ground floor features spacious, light-filled rooms including a private cinema, stylish bar area, kitchen, guest restroom, and an impressive heated indoor pool. The upper floor, arranged around the central courtyard, offers four en-suite bedrooms, living rooms with fireplaces, a formal dining room with pantry, laundry room, and a charming terrace overlooking the old stables.

Modern comforts are seamlessly integrated: underfloor heating, automated blinds, a skylight with motorized sunshade, and exquisite custom woodwork throughout. The renovation perfectly marries classical order with the lavish decorative flair of neobaroque design, including signature pieces by renowned designer Christopher Guy.

The adjacent former service area features a spacious stone-paved courtyard with a wooden coffered porch supported by stone columns. Here you’ll find a large social hall with a professional-grade kitchen and bar, a traditional wood-fired oven, and a rustic kitchen with a fireplace. The old hayloft now hosts two expansive living areas and provides access to an elevated infinity-edge pool with panoramic views of the town.

According to the current owners, the villa once belonged to the noble Mendoza family — key patrons of the Spanish Renaissance — and later served as a convent and hospital for the Order of Calatrava.

This is a one-of-a-kind architectural jewel, rich in history and designed for modern luxury — ideal as a private residence, boutique hotel, or elegant institutional venue. Experience the soul of La Mancha in a setting of unmatched beauty and grandeur.
