Villa in Cadaques, Girona province

One of the most historic houses in Cadaqués, originally a fishermen’s home, renovated by Oriol Bohigas, and once belonging to the mysterious Lidia, Dalí’s muse and landlady to Picasso and Lorca, who even has her own monument on the seafront promenade. Some of the greatest figures in 20th-century art have passed through this house, where art and bohemian spirit can be felt in every corner. In the 1960s, architect Oriol Bohigas designed a unique renovation that made it even more special, including a stunning spiral staircase topped by a skylight.

With façades facing two streets, the property is arranged over four floors, designed to accommodate a large family. On the ground floor, there is a spacious studio occupying the entire floor, conceived as a reading lounge and music room, complete with a fireplace. The first floor features a dining room, the heart of the home’s social life, a kitchen with a breakfast area and pantry, a space that was once Lidia’s original kitchen and has been converted into a sitting and reading room, one bedroom and two bathrooms.

The second floor comprises a spacious master suite and three additional bedrooms sharing a bathroom. All rooms are exterior-facing, enjoying an abundance of natural light. On the top floor, a true gem for free spirits, there is a studio with a fireplace and direct access to the terrace, where breathtaking views await. The entire bay of Cadaqués lies at your feet.

This is not a house for just anyone. Whoever is fortunate enough to acquire this property will become the custodian of a piece of the history and culture of this wonderful village.
