A majestic house set in Empordà on a 70 hectare plot just 35min from Girona airport in Spain. In its immaculate gardens, 3 beautiful houses spread out among the many fun options, such as the beautiful infinity pool, soccer field, among others. Charming, it is one of the most amazing European properties.
One of the things that makes villa 8 so special is its location in the mountains near Rio. However, what really makes this such a special place is its history, which dates back to 1850 when it was built as the Main house on a coffee plantation.
Recently, the singer Lenny Kravitz fell in love with the house. He was on a music tour of Brazil and instead of spending one night at the house he ended up spending six months there, subsequently buying it and then restoring it to its former glory.
There are a number of historical ruins in the garden and inside Lenny has used his love for design to create a contemporary look which is full of character. There are pieces of art and furniture which remind you of Brazilian architects Sergio Rodrigues and Oscar Niemeyer as well as rare pieces of furniture such as a chair which belonged to Andy Warhol and Ingmar Bergman´s piano.
Villa 8 has everything you need to immerse in nature while surrounded by total peace and quiet. A highlight of the property is its vegetable garden which provides fresh vegetables for the duration of your stay.
As Lenny Karvitz said in an interview to Architectural Digest; “it is a place from which to disconnect and re-think life”.
Staying in this villa is like immersing yourself in nature. There is a lush tropical mangrove on one side of the property and on the other side a quiet beach.
The villa is bathed by constant sea breezes, making those lazy afternoons even more pleasant. The sea breeze freshens all areas of the house, especially the 25 metre pool which is surrounded by palm trees and the large terrace on the second floor – this is one of the most comfortable and homely areas of the house, with its hammocks, armchairs and coloured cushions.
All five bedrooms are decorated in a boho-chic style and the master suite has its own office, large bathroom and a veranda with sun loungers. All windows have mosquito netting which allows you to keep the windows open at all times.
The villa is ideal for a group of friends in search of peace and quiet in a location next to the beach with plenty of shade. It has comfortable social areas including; a games room with a billiard table, a wet sauna and a fully equipped gym overlooking the sea in an annexe. The third en-suite bedroom is also in the annexe and is the perfect option for couples who want a little more privacy and peace and quiet.
The house staff includes a very good cook, a cleaner and a caretaker who can also be a barman. And if you would like to experience some of Trancoso´s famous nightlife, the Quadrado is only 10 minutes away by car.
