Villa for sale in Santiago de Compostela, A Coruña

This impressive palace is reminiscent of a small Downton Abbey, which the renowned psychiatrist Baldomero Lois Asorey had built in 1940 to live in with his family. The house has a built area of 695m2 and a surrounding estate of almost 2000m2. Nowadays, it can be a private residence or a charming hotel, as it has a 3-star guesthouse licence and can be a boutique hotel. When we enter the house, an imposing entrance hall presided over by a staircase of hardwood and a fireplace, takes us back to Victorian England. On this floor is the magnificent library-lounge which is one of the most beautiful rooms in the house, a large dining room. A guest toilet serves this floor. On the opposite side of the house, service stairs give access to the kitchen, which can also be entered directly from the outside - as was done in the great houses and palaces for the entry of goods and provisions. These service stairs connect all the floors and have a service lift and an office. The first floor, the noble area, has five bedrooms, all with en suite bathrooms except one. A large balcony located on this floor presides over the main façade, made of stone, and another one that runs along the side perimeter, giving it its palatial appearance. We have to highlight details that make this property unique: its sockets and switches are made of porcelain, the wooden shutters, double windows in all the rooms and unique stained glass windows, perfectly preserved and of great value. On the side of the house, there are two buildings, one used as a woodshed and the other as a garage, which could be perfectly adapted as a studio. The house has a storage room and natural gas heating. Outside, the house is surrounded and adorned by a beautiful consolidated garden, with a fountain that can be enjoyed for the tranquillity and privacy enjoyed in this house. The location of the house is spectacular, the area of Finca de Lois, in the heart of the city but at the same time in a green and totally private environment. It is a quiet area, surrounded by gardens and a lake, the nearest building is the five star hotel NH Collection Santiago de Compostela, and the Auditorio de Galicia. In less than 5 minutes walking we reach the Convent and Church of San Francisco, and the Cathedral of Santiago in its access by the Plaza del Obradoiro. The city bus stop is just over 15 metres from the entrance to the property. Getting in and out of the city is really easy from this point. All services are guaranteed.
