Everything you need to know about this house / villa for sale

Nestled in the heart of the picturesque Costa Brava town of Begur, a gem awaits for those seeking to own an important historical property, meticulously preserved since its construction in 1870. This magnificent property is a testament to the timeless beauty of Mediterranean architecture, boasting prized original architectural features such as frescoes, painted ceilings and meticulously preserved tiles.

As you approach the property, the grandeur of its history becomes apparent. The façade of the property is adorned with intricate frescoes depicting the Caribbean adventures of the property’s original owner.  The moment you step through the wooden doors, you are transported to a bygone era.

Inside, the property exudes an air of sophistication. Spread over two floors, accommodation is offered in six bedrooms, each uniquely appointed, offering comfort while retaining the authenticity of the period. Intricately painted high ceilings create a sense of space and character, and large windows bathe the rooms in natural light. Original tiled floors feature throughout.

We enter the property on street level into a large hall.  Leading off the hall, we find the period-style kitchen, conserving the charm of the old but incorporating modern appliances.  A delightfully cosy living room with a fireplace leads off the kitchen. On this ground floor we also find a dining room with doors leading out onto the exterior rear terrace and garden. There is another large reception room on this floor that could be converted into additional sleeping accommodation if needed. The ground floor is completed with a bedroom, a bathroom and a laundry room.

Climbing the stone staircase to the upper floor, we come into a majestic central living room with a stunning painted ceiling and decorated floor tiles.  Leading off this room, we find four large bedrooms, all maintaining their authentic original charm, and two bathrooms. A large upper terrace leads off one of the bedrooms.  The property benefits from central heating.

A highlight of this exceptional property is the outdoor space it offers. Stepping out of the property on the ground floor, we come out onto a large terrace, the perfect setting for al fresco dining and sunset cocktails. Steps lead down from the terrace into the secluded garden, where time seems to slow down amidst the lush greenery and fragrant blooms and where we find the central feature of the garden, the swimming pool. 

A private parking space in a nearby covered car park is offered together with the property.

This historical property represents a unique opportunity to acquire a piece of history. The property’s rich history, original architectural details, and luxurious features create an ambiance of elegance and nostalgia. It is a rare opportunity to step back in time while enjoying the best of contemporary living in one of the most beautiful villages of the Costa Brava.
