What does a villa renovation involve?

Villa renovation brings layout, kitchens, bathrooms, building services, lighting and finishes into one coordinated plan. A survey identifies what to retain, what needs to change and which decisions require technical assessment. Roofs, façades and external areas are assessed and itemised when they form part of your enquiry.

01 / The whole home

More than a collection of rooms.

Think about arriving home, morning light, bedroom privacy and the connection to the garden. That understanding of the whole informs the work.

01

Layout and daily life

Kitchen and living areas, social and private rooms, suites, circulation between floors and storage. Wall and structural changes are assessed before a solution is confirmed.

02

Kitchens, bathrooms and joinery

Room design, cabinetry, worktops, finishes, doors and wardrobes. Dimensions, hardware, appliances and service interfaces are defined together.

03

Services, light and comfort

Water, electrical work, ventilation, heating, cooling and lighting are coordinated with room use and existing conditions, within the contracted specialist scope.

04

The connection outdoors

Openings, shading, terraces and the relationship with the garden. Façades, roofs, pools and landscaping need their own assessment, responsibilities and budget.

02 / Six languages, one personal home

Good taste begins with proportion.

Your reference may be classical or contemporary. It should respond to the existing architecture, the light and your life. These directions offer starting points for an individual project.

Heritage living room with mouldings, green panelling, stone fireplace and timber furniture — Interiors

Restraint · patina · permanence

Heritage classic

Balanced mouldings, rich timber and pieces that feel collected over time. Understated elegance puts comfort and workmanship ahead of shine, preserving character while making the house work today.

Palette and materials

Walnut, oak, linen, natural stone and aged bronze.

The renovation decision

Retain worthwhile original details and design new joinery to suit the scale of the house.

Mediterranean dining room with pale plaster, arched garden openings and timber table — Interiors

Light · texture · outdoor living

Contemporary Mediterranean

Mineral tones, tactile surfaces and a natural connection between living room, terrace and garden. Shade, texture and daylight create the atmosphere; curves and arches belong only where the architecture supports them.

Palette and materials

Lime plaster, pale stone, terracotta, timber and natural fibres.

The renovation decision

Select finishes compatible with the substrate, moisture conditions and intended maintenance.

Italian modern living room with travertine, walnut, marble and leather armchair — Interiors

Character · design · hospitality

Italian modern

An expressive, welcoming home with distinctive stone, dark timber and sculptural furniture. Sophistication comes from balancing a few strong materials, places to gather and carefully considered light.

Palette and materials

Travertine, walnut, leather, expressive marble and brushed metal.

The renovation decision

Resolve stone sizes and joints alongside furniture, lighting and circulation.

Double-height contemporary living room with curved sofa and distinctive stone fireplace — Interiors

Presence · volume · composition

Sculptural contemporary

Generous volumes, a commanding stone element and precise architectural lines. A more expressive approach to luxury gives each choice room to breathe and makes scale as important as the individual object.

Palette and materials

Strongly veined stone, bronze, tactile upholstery and mineral surfaces.

The renovation decision

Assess weight, access, proportions and installation before choosing large-format finishes or statement pieces.

Warm minimalist bedroom with pale oak, linen and a garden window — Interiors

Calm · texture · detail

Warm minimalism

Fewer elements, natural materials and integrated storage. Simplicity comes from exact decisions: where a door sits, how cabinetry aligns and the way light moves across a wall. The result should feel comfortable and easy to use.

Palette and materials

Pale oak, linen, wool, matt stone and sandy neutrals.

The renovation decision

Detail junctions, clearances and lighting so discreet solutions work in everyday life.

Palatial-inspired entrance with curved staircase, limestone and classical details — Interiors

Symmetry · scale · light

Palatial elegance

A memorable entrance, a considered staircase and restrained classical detail. The effect depends on proportion and available height; ornament follows the architecture while leaving room for an actual family home.

Palette and materials

Limestone, crafted timber, plasterwork, bronze and decorative lighting.

The renovation decision

Check structure, dimensions and services before specifying stairs, large chandeliers or heavy finishes.

These languages can work together: a classical foundation might welcome an Italian kitchen or a minimalist bedroom. A consistent palette and connecting details keep the home coherent.

03 / Beauty you live with

Comfort is part of the design.

Thermal comfort

Consider glazing, solar shading, insulation, heating and cooling together. The solution follows orientation, building conditions and intended use.

Quiet and privacy

Plan bedrooms, social areas and workspaces in relation to one another. Doors, partitions and equipment affect the acoustic outcome.

Use and maintenance

Floors, stone, hardware and surfaces should suit children, pets, cleaning and frequency of use. A beautiful sample is only the beginning.

04 / Supported decisions

Choose with confidence. Follow with clarity.

Materials, remote updates and handover

Three points to clarify before work begins. Follow-up arrangements and handover items are defined in the proposal.

01

Material selection

How are selections compared and approved?

Compare timber, stone, paint and joinery together, using samples and considering the light in each room. Confirm what stays and how new finishes meet existing elements.

The approval record should identify product references, finishes, installation and any alternatives before ordering.

Guide to choosing materials
02

Following the work remotely

What can be followed without being at the property?

Agree a contact, update frequency and a decision record by room or phase. Progress photographs help explain the work but do not replace technical inspections.

Record approvals and changes, including budget and programme impact. Identify choices that require physical samples or a visit.

03

Project handover

What should be checked before the work is signed off?

Review each room: floors, paint, joinery, doors and lighting. Confirm tests of contracted systems and the agreed cleaning.

Record checks, responsibilities and agreed dates. Gather operating and maintenance instructions and applicable warranty documents.

05 / From survey to handover

A process with visible decisions.

  1. Understand the house

    Gather plans and references, listen to your priorities and assess the property and its constraints.

  2. Define the scope

    Record work, specialists, supplies, exclusions and any design or approval requirements.

  3. Approve materials and proposal

    Compare samples and alternatives; clarify cost, terms, phases, responsibilities and changes before proceeding.

  4. Coordinate the work

    Agree a contact, updates, decision points and a record of changes, including arrangements for remote owners.

  5. Check and hand over

    Review contracted work and systems, record outstanding items and collect the agreed documentation and care guidance.

06 / Planning the investment

A useful budget starts with clear choices.

Cost follows condition, size and complexity, service upgrades, joinery, materials and equipment, access and construction phases. Before comparing proposals, compare what each one includes.

The programme follows the survey, design decisions, applicable approvals and supplies. Scope changes should state their effect on cost and time.

Read the renovation quote guide
  • Plans, approximate areas and photographs.
  • Location and known property condition.
  • Rooms and elements to retain, restore or replace.
  • Style, material and equipment references.
  • Investment range and desired date of use.
  • Whether the home will be occupied and whether you will oversee it remotely.

Every villa has a context.

In Madrid, orientation, summer shading, insulation and winter comfort should be considered together. Detached, semi-detached and terraced chalets also bring access, neighbouring-property and plot-specific planning considerations. The actual address and property conditions guide the assessment.

Before renovating your villa

How much does a villa renovation cost?

Cost depends on condition, size, technical work, materials, equipment and site conditions. A useful proposal itemises scope, supplies, exclusions and phases; an isolated price per square metre cannot compare different projects.

How long does a full renovation take?

The programme is defined after the survey and scope, allowing for design, approvals, supplies and phases. Discuss your desired date at the start; a duration should not be assumed before assessing the property.

Can you renovate an older villa without losing its character?

Yes. The survey distinguishes elements to retain, restore and replace. Mouldings, doors, floors and stairs should be assessed before adapting the house to current needs.

Will I need design work or permission?

This depends on the work and the property’s status. Structure, façades, roofs and changes of use need assessment by competent professionals; design and approval requirements are clarified before construction.

Can I oversee the renovation from another country?

Yes. Agree a contact, update frequency, decision records and material approvals. The proposal also identifies decisions that require a visit or physical samples.

Are the garden, pool and façade included?

Only when specified in the proposal. They need their own assessment and coordination of specialists and partners; they are not assumed included in interior renovation.

Do I have to choose one style?

No. References can be combined when proportions, materials and details remain coherent. The starting point is the house and how you want to live in it.
