Flateli Bellcaire

This 16th-century farmhouse is located in the old town of Bellcaire d'Empordà, in front of the medieval castle of the Counts of Empúries and with views of the Montgrí massif and Castle. This country house has been restored by the architects Terradas, friends of the family and creators of emblematic buildings in the City of Barcelona. It was decided to preserve the essence of the most characteristic spaces and elements of the house and in the exteriors a modern but timeless garden with natural materials was chosen.



On the ground floor of the entrance, there is a large hall with a Catalan vaulted ceiling and natural stone floors, which gives access to a television room and a study-library with a double Catalan vaulted ceiling with a central solid brick pillar and ceramic floors. From this room there is access to a games room with a pool table and another living room with a large extendable table for 8-12 people. In this room there are also 2 armchairs and a chaise-longe by Le Corbusier ideal for a siesta or for reading a good book. This room communicates with the garden through a large glass window with 2 large steel sliders that transform this room into a semi-outdoor room with direct access to the terrace and the garden. This room has automatic curtains and air conditioning. Going outside we find a large terrace that communicates with the garden located at a lower level which is accessed by a large brick staircase. From the terrace and the garden you can enjoy panoramic views of the Montgrí massif to the right and the fishing village of L'Escala to the left. On this floor there is a service area with a full bathroom, 2 showers and a laundry area.



From the access hall, you go up a stone staircase to the first floor where there are 4 double rooms with air conditioning, 1 children's bedroom with 2 single beds and a small loft area in the same room with another single bed. There are 2 bathrooms with bathtub, the kitchen with a rustic wooden table and a large dining room. On this floor, the original ceramic tile flooring and the wooden ceiling with wooden beams and a sloping roof are maintained in some areas. From all the rooms of the house you can enjoy views of the garden through French windows or of the medieval castle. The living room and dining room have a large open fireplace with sofas and a TV. We also find a long wooden table for 12 people and air conditioning. From this room there is access to a wooden terrace ideal for breakfast or dinner and lunch with views of the garden and the castle towers.

The kitchen is in a rustic style with pine wood furniture and white marble countertops and the wall covering is the typical La Bisbal tile. It has a large wooden table for 8 people and a pantry.



The exterior spaces of the house feature lawn areas with sun loungers, a large 12x6m pool and 2.50m depth, a porch where we find a ping-pong table and a round stone table from an old mill wheel under a wonderful vegetable pergola.
