First impressions…
High high ceilings, glass panes in the tops of doors, glass doors to a long hallway, beautiful arched glass windows looking out to a spectacular courtyard of plants galore, tiled Andalusian floors ancient and worn throughout the space. Colors everywhere. None of this gray on gray throughout. This home is a home. A Catalan household. Exuding charm. Wood beams and brick in the kitchen. Filled with funky chic antique thrift store at its finest, carefully placed and selected. No matter how often you look at things there, something new will appear. Everything is touched with love. Everything is placed from the heart.
The neighborhood of Gracia bustles with local energy…shops throughout abound. A safe haven to come to where spared from the long lines and emptying tourist buses are simple neighborhood squares to hang out on a bench with, children laughing and happy they play, a café to have a coffee in while listening to some really good music…Silvia’s neighborhood.
I can see how much it means to Silvia that not just us but all her guests are happy being here. She is efficient, prompt, an excellent communicator, pays close attention to detail, and will go out of her way to make sure you are comfortable. This home of Silvia’s means much to her, and it shows in the way she presents it and shares it with us all.
Something rare and very hard to find. Something special!
