Designer Riad and oasis garden in the Empordà

About this house

Welcome to our paradise, where Moroccan essence meets Catalan design in a handcrafted sanctuary. Built over five years into the hillside, this unique property blends chestnut wood, hand-forged iron, and excavated stone into an architectural harmony with nature. You'll find the four elements woven throughout: water flows through the pool and fountain, fire warms evening gatherings, earth embraces the semi-subterranean spaces, and air whispers through the trees that shelter your retreat.

The ground floor features five circular chestnut wood rooms, each with private bathrooms and patios opening to the gardens. Custom-made beds promise restful nights surrounded by nature. The dining room, equipped kitchen, and living area flow seamlessly to a natural porch beneath a mulberry tree—your gathering spot for shared meals and conversation.

Upstairs, three barracas include two earth-integrated rooms and an indoor chill-out space. An outdoor kitchen with barbecue and dining area create perfect settings for al fresco living. The garden surrounds you with fruit trees, while a play area and football goal offer activities for all ages. Stone and lime-washed walls throughout maintain natural coolness even on warm days.

Capmany village hosts nine Empordà DO wineries where you can taste local wines. Hiking trails and cycling routes wind through megalithic landscapes dotted with dolmens and menhirs. The Mediterranean coast lies 25-50 minutes away: discover quiet beaches between Portbou and Cadaqués, or livelier shores from L'Escala to Roses.
