Situated in Vilanova I la Geltrú, just south of the popular beach resort of Sitges, this remarkable villa is a rare example of “Neo mudejar” architecture, an exotic blend of Moorish, Hispanic and Renaissance styles famous for its elaborate colour and detail. Built over 120 years ago, the house and the grounds have been restored to their original style but with all modern comforts now included to make this a truly perfect retreat. The gardens are as stunning as the house itself, as the villa is a walled enclosure of 2 hectares of land with a wide variety of plants and trees, a large swimming pool (12m by 7m), a tennis court, an ornate fish pond, a children’s park and a large BBQ area. There are changing rooms and showers by the pool and a small gymnasium. There is event a parking for 20 vehicles.The main villa is set on 3 floors (there is a lift as well as the ornate staircase) with 8 distinctive bedrooms and suites, a music room, a bar/salon, a library, games room, dining room and a large fully equipped kitchen. There are 4 double bedrooms on the third floor, all en –suite, three with Jacuzzi baths, and the master bedroom has a private reception (which could be used as a child room), a satellite TV and music system Band and Olufsen. On the second floor there are a further 4 double bedrooms (one with a sitting room or children bedroom), all of which have access to private terraces with sofa, and are all en- suite, again 3 of these with Jacuzzi baths. The fourth bedroom is more compact than the others and has a shower only in the bathroom. On the ground floor there is the breathtaking entrance hall, the extensive salon and bar (with satellite TV and DVD Bang and Olufsen) and a large games room with a pool table, chess and music system. There is a large dining room, the kitchen which has all possible amenities, a library with a sofa bed and Internet access, the covered porch and seating areas for dining al fresco. In total there are therefore 8 double bedrooms and one room with a sofa bed to sleep 18 people in the maximum of comfort. Possibilities exist of extra sleeping arrangements for small children if required.
