Description

Mas Carles | 17th Century Masia

Nestled in the picturesque countryside near La Bisbal d'Empordà, Girona, this meticulously restored Catalan farmhouse, dating back to the historic year 1720, stands as a testament to the region's rich architectural heritage. Over two painstaking years, the property underwent an extensive restoration, meticulously preserving its original charm while incorporating modern amenities for a luxurious and comfortable living experience.

The farmhouse comprises two distinct buildings, each telling a story of a bygone era. The grand and spacious 350-square-meter house's primary residence boasts four thoughtfully designed bedrooms, each uniquely appointed to blend contemporary comforts with the farmhouse's timeless character. Every bedroom has its en-suite bathroom, ensuring privacy and convenience for the residents.

Adjacent to the main house is a charming 100-square-meter apartment featuring an additional bedroom and designed with the same meticulous attention to detail. This separate living space offers flexibility in accommodation, making it an ideal setting for guests or extended family.

Stepping outside, the property unfolds into a tranquil oasis. A private pool invites residents to unwind beneath the Catalonian sun, while meticulously landscaped outdoor spaces provide opportunities for al fresco dining, entertaining, or simply savouring the serene surroundings.

The estate's grounds showcase antique decorations, with many original stone walls left exposed, creating a rustic ambience that seamlessly blends with the landscape's natural beauty.

The farmhouse is not merely a residence; it is a testament to the region's rich history. The antique decorations and the rustic elements evoke a sense of nostalgia and a connection to Catalonia's cultural roots. Every corner of the property exudes a timeless elegance that transports residents to a bygone era.

Situated in the quaint village of Fonteta, this farmhouse offers a rare opportunity to experience the tranquillity and authenticity of rural Catalonian life. The small village setting adds to the charm, providing a sense of community and a retreat from the hustle and bustle of modern life. The nearby town of La Bisbal d'Empordà, with its historic charm and vibrant local culture, further enhances the appeal of this idyllic location.

In summary, this ancient Catalan farmhouse, meticulously restored to its former glory, offers a unique blend of history, luxury, and tranquillity.

Dream Farmhouse in a Quaint Village

The best exchange yet for us! This is truly a magical home both inside and out. We could not have asked for more wonderful and attentive hosts. We would love to go back! Fonteta and the Costa Brava is a beautiful part of Spain and we managed to see and do so much yet still enjoy the home and village. ”

Incredible Experience in the Heart of Empordá, Spain's 'Provence'

Incredible Experience in the Heart of Empordá, Spain's 'Provence' We are a family of four and had an fantastic and unique experience at Mas Carles, a traditional "Masia" House in one of the most beautiful spots of Empordá, which you can compare to "the Provence" of Spain. The House is spectacular and well maintained and cared, with its old traditional beauty and the comforts of a renovated home. I would recommend cycling to the beautiful towns that surround it, trying the exquisite cuisine of the area, and visiting the beautiful beaches of Costa Brava 25mins away. Thank you again for letting us stay, and we hope to come back in the Spring.”
