Rehabilitation project of a masía in La Garrotxa, Girona
We transformed this charming masía into a modern and functional rural retreat.


Recently, we undertook a renovation project on a delightful masía with the aim of converting it into a modern and functional rural home while preserving its original essence and structure as much as possible. The challenge was to update the spaces without carrying out major construction work or altering the characteristic structural elements that give the property its authenticity and charm.
The intervention focused primarily on interior design, combined with a minor refurbishment, carefully considering every detail to maintain the masía’s rustic and traditional character while equipping it with the contemporary comforts and style demanded by today’s rural tourism. We opted for natural materials, warm tones, and a neutral colour palette to enhance natural light and the sense of spaciousness. The inclusion of handcrafted furniture and carefully selected decorative elements helped create a welcoming and elegant atmosphere.
In the kitchen and bathrooms, we made small functional improvements, modernising the installations while preserving the rural character. We also restored the original wooden beams and stone walls, highlighting their aesthetic and architectural value. The integration of soft textiles, ambient lighting, and iron and wood details completed a harmonious design that balances tradition with modernity.
The result was spectacular: a rural home that retains the soul of the original masía while boasting an updated aesthetic and exceptional comfort. The fusion of old and new has created a unique space, perfect for enjoying a rural escape with all the conveniences of modern living.
