What permits are needed to shoot at the villa?
To shoot inside the property (interiors, terraces, garden and pool), the owner's written authorisation is enough, included in the contract. To occupy the public road, shoot in the residential estate or fly a drone, the production company must apply for the relevant permits. Civil liability insurance is mandatory.
What insurance does the production need?
Valid civil liability insurance covering damage to the property and to third parties, a copy of which is sent before the shoot. Technical crew, equipment and staff are the sole responsibility of the production company.
How many people fit on a shoot?
Around 20 people indoors and up to 50 outdoors. For larger crews, please get in touch.
How is access for crew and vehicles?
The entrance is at street level and step-free, which makes loading and unloading easy. There are two parking spaces on the plot and free street parking, on a dead-end street. Trucks can park on the street as long as they do not block the way. More details on Location.

Three-phase, 12 kW contracted (about 4 kW per phase), with a sectorised indoor switchboard and another outdoor one by the pool. For high-consumption lighting, a generator can be installed in the laundry area.
What is the natural light like?
The villa faces south and receives natural light throughout the day. Early morning and late afternoon bring soft light, well suited to interiors. From mid-morning to early afternoon, the pool and terraces receive the strongest light.
What locations does the villa offer?
Contemporary white architecture, 360° views over the Mediterranean and the Sierra de Mijas, infinity pool, several terraces and a 2,000 sqm plot. In a single location, clean editorial shots, family scenes, lifestyle content and night ambiences coexist. They can be seen in the gallery.

The villa is not responsible for weather conditions. Checking the forecast before booking is recommended.
