Seasonal Soothing

Seasonal Soothing: Catalonia

If you're looking for a home that lets you escape the stresses of the modern world and connect with nature, this is the perfect place. Resting just out of the Aran Valley, it's a tranquil haven designed to reset the body and mind.

The home is a peaceful sanctuary throughout the year. If you visit during the warmer months of summer and spring, the hills blossom into a sea of greenery. When the weather turns slightly colder, the mountains are coated with a white blanket.

You can admire the view of the mountains from the private comfort of your own terrace. It's an idyllic spot to rest with a cup of coffee in the mornings and watch the mountains wake up.

Inside the home, you'll find a snug living room flooded with natural light pouring in from the floor-to-ceiling doors. The room radiates in the summer and soothes in the winter, warmed by the gentle embers of the fireplace.

Deep brown, wooden fittings comprise the kitchen, accompanied by a stylish wooden table. Quaint and homespun, it's the type of decor that makes you feel instantly at home.
