Fans of Cristiano Ronaldo were given the chance to see him at him close quarters with the release of his film last month and the Real Madrid superstar is at it again - opening his doors for a guided video tour of his expansive home.

Ronaldo's plush £4.8million ($NZ10.4m) mansion is situated in the La Finca part of Pozuelo de Alarcon - an elite neighbourhood 10km west of the Moncloa District of Madrid that is also home to Real team-mate Gareth Bale and France legend Zinedine Zidane nearby.

With a cameramen for company, Ronaldo, who earns £288,000-a-week ($NZ627,000) after tax at Real, gives viewers a peek at his bedroom, living room and garden, complete with mini goals where Cristiano Jnr can follow in his father's footsteps.

Upon entry into his an 8,600-square-foot, one-story building, Ronaldo heads for the bedroom. It's one of seven and there are eight bathrooms, a trophy room and kids' playrooms, while he also has his initials on various surfaces.

The Portugal captain describes his bedroom as one of the most important things in his life; as a good recuperation enables him to perform at a world-class level on a consistent basis.

'I spend nearly half a day here because to perform good and be at a good level you have to rest good.'

The next stop on the tour is the living room before Ronaldo talks in depth about his dining facilities.

Boasting a swanky round table, the room is of significant importance for Real's No 7 - with diet and nutrition a key to his success.

'The second or third most important place to me is the place where I eat - where I have my lunch and dinners because most of the times I eat at home,' he says.

'My chefs cook unbelievably for me, this is why I look like that,' he adds and light-heartedly points at his athletic figure.

Ronaldo's tour ends in the garden which has a swimming pool and hot tub. Beyond that is the mini-football pitch and there's also a Christmas tree.

'And here is where Cristiano plays football - the nets there. We also have a Christmas tree because soon it will be Christmas,' he adds.

'I wish everyone Merry Christmas, have a good year and be happy - which for me is the most important.'

In August, Ronaldo added to his proprety portfolio when he bought a luxury apartment in New York for a staggering £11.8m ($NZ25.6m).

The Real star purchased a 2,509 sq ft loft in Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue, the New York Post reported.

The exclusive apartment, which reportedly inspired the setting of the novel 50 Shades of Grey, belonged to Alessandro Proto, an Italian real-estate tycoon and business partner of owner and Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump.
