Andalucia, Cádiz, El Puerto de Santa María, Spain

Gilmar offers you this spectacular palace house located in the heart of Puerto de Santa María. The house dates back to 1732, but has been completely refurbished with extraordinary taste by the owner. As many of the original elements as possible have been preserved, such as the exposed wooden beams, marble floors, tiles, mahogany and Flanders pine doors, etc. The rest has been replaced with original elements rescued and carefully selected from the rubbish dumps of other old houses, resulting in this spectacular home. Other decorative and ornamental elements have been brought from countries as far away as India, which the current owner has been able to combine with excellent taste and mastery.
Another noteworthy detail is the meticulous restoration of the entire façade with original oyster stone, giving the house that touch of distinction so typical in the construction of the Port. Its wide walls, the spaciousness of the rooms, the high ceilings and the comfort provided by its furniture and decorative elements, make this house a unique and exclusive home ready to be lived in.
The distribution is as follows:
Ground floor: spacious entrance hall with high ceilings and exposed wooden beams leading to a large central courtyard around which the whole house revolves.
