ALEMANYS 5

Wooden flooring flanks the breadth of this property, and everything is eloquently juxtaposed. Take, for instance, the stone wall counter-balanced with the modern lines of high-end furniture and that curved lamp that frames the dining area almost to make a picture. The clutter-free space is a fair testament to minimalism and practicality, with pockets of space dedicated to functionality and essentials, yet all neatly tucked away. Sliding floor-to-ceiling doors allow you to open up spaces for social purposes or retire quietly when you want to escape. El Jardin ( The Garden) is 90 m2 on the lower floor and has a luscious green garden with a seating area for alfresco dining and good times, and you can also dip your toes on warm nights in the pool at the end of the lawn.

The upper apartment, El Badiu (The Veranda), is 180 m2 split between two levels, boasts views of Girona city, and elegantly allows the kitchen area to merge with the terrace, thanks to its use of glass and positioning. It is a beautiful oasis that demonstrates a labour of love. Extra services such as a private chef, excursions, and private tours can all be arranged by contacting Juan in advance.
