Villa Paula is an exceptional hillside retreat in Barcelona's prestigious Sarria neighborhood. Built in 1912 by Jeroni Granell I Manresa, renowned architect and contemporary of Gaudi, the villa showcases Catalan Noucentista grandeur. Set within the Collserola Natural Park, known as the ''lungs of Barcelona,'' it offers tranquil seclusion just 15 minutes from the city center. Surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation and romantic gardens, its tower-like silhouette, gabled roofs, and intricate cornices blend timeless elegance with the beauty of its natural hillside setting.
The interiors of Villa Paula epitomize luxurious living, where timeless architecture meets modern refinement. The living room serves as the heart of the home, featuring expansive glass doors that usher in natural light and frame sweeping views, while soft neutral tones and minimalist design elements complement the villa's original character. A seamless flow connects this central space to a sleek, fully equipped kitchen, crafted with contemporary finishes yet preserving a sense of understated elegance. Each room has been meticulously curated to balance comfort with sophistication. The residence comprises eight well-appointed bedrooms, each designed with a serene palette and considered details that reflect the villa's harmonious blend of heritage and modernity. Steeped in history, the home once offered refuge during the Spanish Civil War, when its wine cellar became a sanctuary for Luis Companys Jover, president of the Catalan autonomous parliament, as he fled Francoist forces. Decades later, famed soprano Montserrat Caballé found peaceful respite here, adding a cultural legacy to the villa's rich and storied past.
Outdoors, this Barcelona luxury vacation rental unfolds into a private sanctuary of landscaped terraces and thoughtfully arranged garden spaces. A large infinity-edge pool is perfectly positioned to mirror the sky and embrace the unobstructed city and sea vistas. A Juliet balcony, intimate seating areas, and a lounge terrace enhance the ambiance, making the exterior not merely an extension of the home but a celebration of nature, light, and Mediterranean beauty.
