Located in the small medieval village of Saus in the Ampurdan, this villa to rent in Catalonia is surrounded by beautiful forests just minutes from the Costa Brava beaches.
Built in the 16th century, the two story structure was originally used for olive oil and agriculture production with remnants of it’s humble roots still evident throughout the house.
Owner and resident of Geneva at the time, Susana happened upon the house while passing through the area and, although the house was in complete ruin, she fell in love with it and promptly relocated. Working with an architect, the extensive renovation process took over a year to complete taking care to preserve the historic spirit and original design. The ancient stonework exteriors have been meticulously restored and preserved while the interiors have been expanded and subtly modernized.
The ground floor living area is spacious and bright and opens out to the terrace and garden with an adjacent eat in kitchen and dining area. There is a double bedroom on the lower level and three bedrooms on the top floor with an additional living space. Most of the furnishings were acquired from Susana’s years of travel with several locally sourced pieces that add a bit of Catalonian flavor.
Outside, the terrace full of antique roses is peaceful and private with dining area overlooking lovely views of the countryside.
