La Reserva de Sotogrande, where not a single fox was spotted in the hunt
No one, except the old colonel, ever saw a fox on those hunts, but I discovered a land that took my breath away, La Reserva.
The concept of this Mansion is inspired from the great Mexican architects and adapted to the Southern Spanish life style. On sunny days the outside blends with the inside, the light and the shadows play like an artist canvas. The style most dramatic part of this mansion is the spacious outdoor living area with glass roof and electric sculptured lattice shutters which play with ever changing quality of light/shade from roof and front part separating the garden without taking away the sea view.
