La Tortuga is one of the most emblematic homes on the entire Costa Brava. The architects Briones, Dalmau and Marqués built it between 1973 and 1977 on the southern tip of Sa Riera, one of the most attractive coves in Baix Empordà. This prestigious villa with a unique style and art-deco features appears in several architecture and interior design books and magazines.
The villa is located on a plot surrounded by the sea, so it offers its residents total privacy, the feeling of being on an island and unbeatable views of Cap de Creus, the Medes Islands and Sa Riera beach. The house has been conceived and designed respecting the natural slope of the land, to integrate it into its surroundings.
Upon entering the house, we are greeted by an indoor garden and an elegant staircase that efficiently and subtly distributes the different areas of the home until we reach the lower part. Here, we find an impressive living-dining room with avant-garde design that enjoys fabulous views of the sea and the cove of Sa Riera. This space offers direct access to two terraces, one on each side of the house to take advantage of the sun and views according to the time of day, as well as access to the garden.
The house also consists of a winter living room with a fireplace, 5 double bedrooms for residents with 3 full bathrooms, a large kitchen, a large service space with a utility room, 2 single bedrooms with 1 complete bathroom, a guest bathroom and a SPA space with Nordic sauna and hamam bath. In addition, throughout the house there are numerous built-in wardrobes.
The garden increases the prestige of the house and offers residents a fabulous walkway with views that change depending on the position: from the beautiful cliffs of Ses Negres to the beach of Sa Riera. In the lower part of the garden, we find a large swimming pool and two direct access to the coastal path and the beautiful beach of Cala S'Antigua.
For greater comfort, the villa has 4 parking spaces (2 indoors in a covered garage), air conditioning in most rooms, heating, a kitchen with gas and an alarm with motion detectors.
A few minutes from the house we find all the services and some of the best restaurants in the area.
