Palais Exclusif Du XI Xe Siècle

History, Nobility, and Elegance Facing the Royal Palace of El Pardo
Spacio4 Luxury Homes presents this extraordinary historic palace, an architectural gem built in 1899 by María del Carmen de Aragón-Azlor e Idiáquez, the 15th Duchess of Villahermosa, and her husband José Manuel Fernando Goyeneche y Gamio, Count of Guaqui. This majestic residence, located opposite the Royal Palace of El Pardo, represents the essence of luxury, history, and the distinction of the Spanish nobility of the late 19th century.
A legacy of the Spanish aristocracy
The palace was conceived as a second residence for the Dukes of Villahermosa, whose main residence was in the Palace of Villahermosa —now the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum—. Its design reflects the neoclassical and Renaissance influences characteristic of the grand aristocratic residences of the time, with a symmetrical façade, elegant ornamentation, and a careful architectural proportion that evokes the grandeur of the Austrias.
A dreamlike environment with historic gardens
Upon entering the property, a Hungarian-style garden welcomes the visitor, enveloping them in a magical atmosphere of serenity. Ancient statues, a wrought iron gazebo with an original period sculpture, and lush vegetation compose a space of timeless beauty.
The estate has a plot of 950 m², and the main building offers 880 m² of living space, distributed over 14 rooms and 8 bathrooms, with a careful combination of comfort, art, and heritage.
Interiors that evoke another era
Crossing the main door, the visitor enters a universe of historical refinement. The interior retains its original furniture, with pieces ranging from the Renaissance to the early 20th century, complemented by works of art and tapestries that narrate the history of one of Spain’s most illustrious families.
The spectacular staircase of the main hall, flanked by two monumental mirrors, leads to the upper rooms, where each room was conceived with a different purpose: reception lounges, private rooms, and spaces for rest.
Also noteworthy is the glass gallery, designed during the time of Alfonso XIII, which offers privacy without sacrificing natural light and views of the garden.
Dependencies and additional spaces
In the gardens, there is a porch and gazebo, as well as an independent billiard pavilion, a 280 m² caretaker’s house with four bedrooms, and a 136 m² service apartment. Additionally, it has two garages and ample outdoor spaces ideal for hosting events or private receptions.
An architectural gem facing the Royal Palace
This palace constitutes a unique testament to the splendor of the Spanish nobility, a place where history, art, and elegance merge in perfect harmony. Over the years, it has been the setting for important social and cultural events, and today it presents an unrepeatable opportunity for those seeking an exclusive residence with historical and artistic value in Madrid.
