Home description
This High Standard Villa situated in the middle of nature in the village of LLofriu, neighbouring the house of the famous writer Josep Pla, as 2 km from Palafrugell and Aigua Blava, it is a warm blend of exoticism, tradition and naturalness.
It consists of one L-shaped floor, open to the four winds, as an island of calm surrounded by fields of olive trees, construction of a typical Mediterranean “ampurdanesa” atmosphere, but by its colonial-style decor, antique doors, stone Buddha’s, takes us to distant Asian countries, a surprisingly pleasant and welcoming mixture. The garden is composed of several environments.
