Cadaques

About the house

Carrer Jonquet, 26 is a beautiful modern house designed and built by local Catalan architects and craftsmen to exacting conservation standards. With a classic yet modern feel, the house is clad in local stone, situated in a quiet neighbourhood five minutes drive from central Cadaques and five minutes walk from the sea at S'Alqueria Bay.

The house's spacious, light rooms all have spectacular views over both Jonquet and S'Alqueria bays and the Cap de Creus lighthouse. It is possible to walk straight from Carrer Jonquet onto a coastal path through the Cap de Creus Natural Park where you can also join one of the famous walking routes through the Pyrenees.

In the other direction, a fifteen to twenty minute walk takes you through Port Lligat, past Salvador Dali's house, into the town of Cadaques - one of Spain's best kept secrets. The special quality of the light in this area of Pyrenean foothills has attracted many artists including Picasso, Dali and Miro. The town and area have a high standard of design and the old architecture is preserved. Cadaques is full of small galleries, boutiques, good restaurants, cafes and tapas bars.

Carrer Jonquet, 26 has:

Four double bedrooms with walk-in closets and showers en-suite on ground floor
Fifth bedroom with bath en-suite on lower ground floor
Media room with TV, DVD, Video and CD players
Large modern fully equipped kitchen with two large fridge/freezers, two ovens; cooking capacity for ten

Carrer Jonquet, 26


		Cadaques is also a great place to retreat and have a cosy winter break. The walking and air are marvellous and the wonderful unexpected light and colour of winter can be fully appreciated at Carrer Jonquet, 26, as the house has underfloor heating and a fantastic open fire in the living/dining room.
