About this property

For the most discerning buyer, this authentic 12th-century palace-tucked within the fortified walls of the Monastery of Santes Creus-offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a true jewel of Catalan history. ~~One of the region's most treasured and best-preserved Cistercian landmarks, Santes Creus embodies centuries of spiritual and architectural legacy. Facing the grand façade of the monastery across the Plaza de Jaume el Just, this remarkable estate is steeped in beauty, elegance, and unmatched potential-whether envisioned as a refined private residence, boutique hotel, or divided into multiple living spaces. ~~Entering through a stately archway, a vaulted corridor leads to the palace's heart: a grand salon anchored by a stone fireplace and framed by garden views. Step onto the balcony to descend into a verdant oasis of fruit trees and curated corners echoing centuries past. Inside, discover intimate yet practical living: two double bedrooms with balconies, a rustic kitchen, a cozy dining area, and a tastefully renovated bath. A private study and service areas offer additional comfort. Climb the handcrafted staircase with stained glass to peaceful upper levels: former alcoves reimagined as serene sitting rooms and bedrooms, all surrounding a quiet corridor. A unique bathroom, once a private chapel, exudes spiritual charm. Arched balconies and terraces open to tranquil vistas-a perfect setting for reflection or elegant gatherings. The luminous top floor, with wooden floors and panoramic views, invites conversion into a private retreat or creative atelier, complete with bathrooms and pre-installed kitchen connections. Below, the semi-basement reveals a sleek modern kitchen, summer dining space, reading lounge, and guest WC-all with direct access to the lush garden and orchard. Upgraded heating and modern systems blend seamlessly into the estate's historic soul. ~~Located just 20 minutes from Tarragona and the AVE station, with direct links to Barcelona and Zaragoza via the AP-2, this majestic property is a rare convergence of heritage, beauty, and possibility. ~~Schedule your private visit.
