Set on the edge of a small town, the stone facades of the main and outer buildings of this one-time farmhouse are those of a traditional country estate. Inside, one discovers a contemporary renovation offering elegance and comfort.
The fully-equipped kitchen is a cook’s dream. The vast open-plan living room is surrounded by windows and is accented by a grand piano. This house is ideal for couples, as most bedrooms include en suite bathrooms. For extended families, the guest wing offers flexibility and additional privacy. Across the courtyard, an artist studio can be used as an extra bedroom.
While one side of the property adjoins the village (and convenient services), the main views from the house extend across private gardens and open countryside. Best of all is its close proximity to Catalunya’s star attractions – Girona, the Costa Brava, Figueras, and the Pyrénées. Barcelona is only an hour south.
QUIRKS: Regarding children, there is a display of fragile glass objects. We can, however, request family use from the owner.
