In the historic center of Castelló d'Empúries, just a few minutes from the beaches of the Costa Brava, is this exceptional town house from 1887. Two harmoniously united buildings surround a protected courtyard with fountain, water lily pond and a pleasant summer dining room: the real heart of the property. The house has been restored over five years with absolute care and a deep respect for its essence. Many materials come from historical ruins of the region and the missing elements were faithfully reconstructed. Behind the traditional aesthetics hides a completely updated infrastructure: new installations, ventilation and insulation, energy rating C, hot water by thermoelectric or condensing boiler, heating with Jøtul fireplaces or town gas and cast iron radiators for uniform comfort. The main kitchen combines authenticity and functionality, with a hand-carved stone sink, historic tiles, porcelain switches, custom woodwork and discreetly integrated appliances. The suite offers a spacious wellness area with a spa-like tub and shower, precise thermostatic control and a serene vegetal setting. The completely reconstructed courtyard is highlighted by over 300 years of history in each piece of herringbone brickwork, a vine and a coral tree providing natural shade, a pond, a rustic outdoor kitchen and cozy night lighting. Under the guest house, an additional space invites for celebrations and gatherings. A property with soul, history and exceptional craftsmanship, best understood by visiting it in person.
