This Louisiana Airbnb Looks Like It Belongs in Spain

It's well known that Louisiana was, and still is, strongly influenced by the French settlers who populated the area centuries ago. Everywhere one looks in Louisiana, it's easy to spot French words, art, and architecture, sometimes to the point where it can feel like a little too much. If you're instead looking for something different, then you might truly love this Airbnb that looks like Spain in Minden.

This interesting and comfortable property has been completely renovated with Spanish-style decor throughout and has appeared in several magazines. You'll love staying in this Spanish-influenced vacation rental when you visit the area. Read on to learn more about all it has to offer. There are many unique Airbnbs in Louisiana, but a visit to this home is sure to stay with you for quite a while.

The Villas at Spanish Court is a boutique property made up of several different spaces for temporary rental through Airbnb. Designer Sarah McDaniel of Simply Southern Cottage renovated each space individually. All completed spaces appeared in two magazines, Cottages & Bungalows and American Farmhouse Style, throughout 2022 as the publications' annual Project House.

McDaniel noted the Spanish-style exterior of this building and chose to bring that style inside as well. Each space is cozy, beautiful, and unique. The Wheeler Spanish Villa is perhaps the most Spanish-influenced of them all. Visitors will feel as though they are staying in Spain when they stay in this space, while in reality, they are just one block from downtown and historic Minden, Louisiana.

What Makes This Airbnb Look Like Spain

This home absolutely offers a Spanish vibe and feel. From the warm colors used to decorate the entire space to details like the stucco fireplace in the bedroom, this cozy space makes the visitor feel like they are in another country altogether. McDaniel made use of curves and red brick in the bedroom area to drive her point home even further. The inclusion of green plants and wooden furniture also helped to bring the outdoors indoors in a very homey way.
