WHAT YOU GET FOR YOUR MONEY: A private property, not available for rent, with more than 15,000 square feet of terraces and nearly 12,000 square feet of gardens planted with olive trees, palms and umbrella pines.

There are seven villas in the grounds, two swimming pools and an artist’s studio.

it is owned by lord (James) lupton, the British banker and conservative party co-treasurer, who bought the fort a few years ago for a reported €40 million (£31 million today), which would have made it the most expensive property in Spain.

At last year’s Tory fund-raising ball, lupton — who bought the estate off another Brit — donated a week’s stay there for 24 people, it was auctioned off for £210,000.

Built in 1628 to protect the port from marauding Saracens, the fort and its 232-acre estate had gone on sale in 2008 just before t he gl obal economic crash with an initial asking price of €120 million.

CELEBRITY CLIENTELE: Argentinian painter Roberto Raumage bought the property in 1919 as an artists’ colony, where his wild parties could last for days.

it was confiscated by General Franco during the Spanish civil War in the Thirties.
