Description
Welcome to Villa Marcia
An extraordinary villa with sea views, located in the heart of Altafulla's historic centre and featuring a recently granted HOTEL LICENSE.
This new license expands the property's possibilities in a significant way, allowing it to serve as both a high-end private residence and the foundation for an exclusive hotel project in one of the most charming locations on the Costa Dorada.
With 734 m² of built space, Villa Marcia comprises a historic main house, a beautifully renovated guest house, and a private chapel, set within a 3,250 m² estate where architecture, history and nature coexist harmoniously.
Its distinctive outdoor space features a uniquely designed pool distributed across two levels, waterfalls, lush gardens, chill-out areas and auxiliary spaces, transforming the property into a true Mediterranean oasis of privacy, serenity and wellbeing.
A villa with history
Villa Marcia was the home of celebrated pianist Mercè Rigalt i Lladós, a prominent figure in royal circles and performer for Queen Isabel II of Spain and at some of the leading opera houses of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Her legacy, elegance and nobility remain present in every room of this unique property.
Main house — 478 m²
The main house is distributed across two floors and stands out for its noble spaces, high ceilings, generous proportions and quality finishes.
On the main floor, a majestic entrance hall leads to a spacious living room with fireplace, where Mercè Rigalt i Lladós's piano is preserved.
Adjacent to the living room is a large fully glazed winter terrace with spectacular sea and garden views, allowing you to enjoy the landscape year-round.
The spacious dining room comfortably seats 22 guests and opens directly onto the garden. It connects to a fully equipped kitchen with fitted cabinetry and views of the surrounding vegetation. From the kitchen, a service staircase leads to the ironing and laundry area.
From the entrance hall, an elegant staircase provides access to the first floor, where 6 magnificent suites are distributed. Three offer beautiful sea views—one with a private terrace—and the other three overlook the harmonious garden.
All bedrooms retain the spaciousness, high ceilings and stately character characteristic of the house.
Guest house — 118 m², recently renovated
The adjoining house, distributed across three floors, has been recently renovated, combining the property's architectural charm with a more contemporary style and all modern amenities.
It features 2 bedrooms, dressing room, full bathroom, guest toilet and open-plan kitchen opening onto a welcoming living room with garden views.
All rooms are exterior-facing and it also includes a terrace with beautiful views of the sea and Altafulla's historic centre.
This space is ideal as an independent guest residence, private accommodation or as part of the new authorized hotel project.
Historic chapel — 24 m²
The property includes a historic chapel of 24 m², with an altarpiece and stained glass windows made of polychrome glass and lead.
This singular architectural feature brings exceptional historical, heritage and emotional value to Villa Marcia as a whole.
A Mediterranean oasis
One of the property's greatest assets is undoubtedly its outdoor space.
Centuries-old vegetation, water circulation through interconnected pools and waterfalls, and the distinctive organic pool create a ZEN-inspired environment, designed to enjoy tranquility, sunshine and long Mediterranean sunsets.
The chill-out areas, gardens and various outdoor corners offer numerous spaces to relax, entertain guests or create exclusive experiences for future guests.
The water area features a salt chlorination disinfection system with automatic pH regulation.
The property also includes central heating, air conditioning, fireplaces, a state-of-the-art salt-free water softener and 22 solar panels.
As for parking, Villa Marcia has 2 garage spaces with direct access to the residence and 5 exterior spaces within the private grounds.
Exclusive residence and hotel opportunity
The recently granted hotel license represents a new and significant asset for Villa Marcia.
Given its location, history, layout, number of suites, independent guest house, chapel, gardens and common areas, the property meets exceptional conditions to become a boutique hotel, a charming establishment or an exclusive accommodation focused on private experiences and celebrations.
This license allows the villa's historic and residential character to be combined with interesting potential for tourism and hotel operations, significantly expanding its possible uses and appeal as an investment.
