Oak & Mirrors

Oak & Mirrors: Catalonia

Nestled within the picturesque depths of the luscious Aran Valley, this duplex apartment is so much more than somewhere to get your head down at the end of a busy day – it’s a snuggly sanctuary stacked with warming home comforts and cosy touches. From the wooden beamed ceilings to the charming facade of the stone cladded fireplace, whether you’re here on a skiing trip or you’re simply taking a breather from the bustling city streets, one thing’s for certain – this home will win you over in a heartbeat.

Spectacular vistas over Salardu and the Baqueira Beret ski slopes serve a treat for the eyes from the moment you wake up in the morning until the second you go to sleep. And thanks to the home’s large windows, there are plenty of viewpoints to observe those incredible urban landscapes. Begin each day with a steaming hot Americano from the coffee machine and perch yourself on the chaise end of the comfy corner sofa to gaze at the rugged mountain scape in style.

The soft, soothing nature of this place exists just as much on the inside as it does on the out. We particularly love the colour scheme – it’s calm but cosy – and the natural wooden touches speckled from here to there make things all the more inviting. There’s also an open brickwork wall in the bathroom, large light fixtures and brightening mirrors dotted from room to room. So, if you fancy yourself as an interior design aficionado, you’re sure to appreciate what the homeowner has done with the place.

Craving a moment’s me time? Indulge in some well–deserved rest and relaxation as you sink into the bubbly depths of the free–standing bath tub. The perfect place to enjoy a flute of fizz, head here as dusk settles and let the evening while away as you embrace your private spa–like setting.
