Von Der Sonne Und Vom Meer

I would like to have a garden, a little house, grass, animals, books, paintings, music. And to draw from all this what I want to feel; to express all these things... I want to live a warm, yearning, vibrant life, to have roots in life, to learn, to desire, to know, to feel, to think, to act—that is what I want, where I must strive to reach. With these words from Katherine, the house DEL SOLE E DE MARE welcomes us. As if it were a little piece of the Mediterranean, we locate it in Can Roca of Castelldefels on 580 m². We begin. We walk through the 1,145 m² garden and sit to experience it. The scent of jasmine and honeysuckle arrives, sitting in bloom and white, bathing in open blue in summer and covered in winter. From beyond, the smell of salt and young pine, sheltered by its shade, over the breeze and the view. We move inside. A large living room opens before us, dominated by endless glass walls and two areas that separate the living room from the dining room. We walk to the kitchen. With a clear Italo-Mediterranean style, it invites us to sit and uncork a Pérgole Torte while sharing pappardelle sulla lepre. Always with the terrace present, always with the southern sun flooding every corner. We go up to the bedrooms. A master suite with a walk-in closet and bathroom. Two double bedrooms sharing a bathroom. All connected by a second terrace of sun, view, light, and sea. We climb to the attic and find a fantasy bedroom where light flows all the way to the pillow. The accompanying terrace is the watchtower that crowns the horizon. If before kissing your loved one you have gazed at the stars, you will not kiss them the same way as if you have only looked at the walls of your room. An important feature of the house DEL SOLE E DE MARE is the lower floor. A versatile space where we find a very large work area as well as a private apartment for family or unexpected guests with two double bedrooms, a second kitchen, living room, and direct access to the garden. The floor is complemented by a room for au pairs or assistants. The house DEL SOLE E DE MARE presents itself as exquisite in flavors, beautiful in colors and shades, rich in gardens and sensations. With a style that reminds us of the Tuscany region, it perfectly preserves all the grandeur of humanism and the Italian Renaissance, as if waiting to be loved for the first time.
