Catalonia, Tarragona, Altafulla, Spain

.Welcome to Villa Marcia!

An extraordinary sea-view estate in the heart of Altafulla’s historic old town.

With 734 sqm built, Villa Marcia comprises a historic main house, a magnificent guest house, and a private chapel, all set within 3,250 sqm of landscaped grounds where architecture, history, and nature come together in perfect harmony.

Its remarkable outdoor setting—with a unique two-level pool, cascading water features, lush gardens, chill-out areas, and service spaces—creates a true Mediterranean sanctuary of privacy and wellbeing.

Villa Marcia was once home to the renowned pianist Mercè Rigalt i Lladós, a regular presence in royal circles and a frequent performer for Queen Isabella II of Spain and major opera stages of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Her legacy, elegance, and distinction are still felt throughout the property.

Main House (478 sqm)

Arranged over two floors, the main residence stands out for its grand proportions, high ceilings, and quality finishes.

On the main level, an impressive entrance hall leads into a spacious living room with fireplace, where Mercè Rigalt i Lladós’s piano is preserved. Adjacent to it is a large fully glazed winter terrace with spectacular sea and garden views. The generous dining room comfortably seats 22 guests and opens directly onto the garden. It connects to a fully equipped large kitchen with built-in cabinetry and garden views, with service-stair access to the ironing and laundry area.

From the hall, an elegant staircase leads to the first floor, where there are 6 magnificent suites: 3 with beautiful sea views (one with a private terrace) and 3 overlooking the harmonious gardens.

Guest / Annex House (118 sqm) — Recently Renovated

The annex, fully exterior and distributed over three floors, has been recently renovated, offering an ideal blend of contemporary comfort and historic charm. It includes 2 bedrooms, 1 dressing room, 1 full bathroom, 1 guest WC, and an open-plan kitchen connected to a comfortable living room with garden views. It also features a terrace with beautiful views of the sea and the historic center.

Historic Chapel (24 sqm)

A unique architectural jewel featuring an altarpiece and stained-glass windows in leaded colored glass, adding exceptional heritage value to the estate.

One of the property’s defining highlights is its outdoor environment: century-old vegetation, flowing water circuits with ponds and interwoven cascades, and an organic-style pool that together create a serene ZEN atmosphere in the chill-out area—perfect for long sunny days and Mediterranean sunsets.

The water area includes a salt-chlorination disinfection system with automatic pH regulation. The property also offers central heating, air conditioning, a latest-generation salt-free water softener, fireplaces, and 22 solar panels.
