The House

The house is unlike anything you will have experienced before: it is made of thick stone walls in the shape of a snail's shell... no sharp corners and the rooms sweep around in a spiral from the incredible central fireplace.

Almost Gaudiesque in form, it has high ceilings with traditional Spanish terracotta tiling. It adapts itself perfectly to the seasons: it's cool in the Summer, warm and cosy in the Winter.

A strong traditional Spanish theme also runs through the interior decoration with heavy dark wood doors and furniture throughout.
