Description
The house was originally built in the 1950’s by Mexico’s foremost interior and textiles designer Jean Paul Olivier, on the foundations of a XVII th century structure. The present owner carried out an extensive 3-year (2002-2005) reconstruction and enlargement program. No expense has been spared to make this property truly breathtaking. Although equipped with every necessity and luxury for 21st century living, Quinta Peregrina retains its original allure and romantic aura of a bygone age. It sits on a natural promontory, commanding a sweeping vista of the valley of Temixco. With 4,064m2 of mature, south- facing landscaped gardens and magnificent century -old trees, the outdoors is a piece of paradise surrounded by high walls. Indoors, 880m2 of period charm and exquisite decoration are fused with the latest technology, to create what is undoubtedly Cuernavaca’s most iconic residence.
