In the heart of the old town of Onil stands this imposing stately residence dated 1730, a unique property of approximately 800 m2 built where every wall conveys solidity, every beam tells a story, and every room invites you to stay.

As you pass through its large solid wood doors, the space opens with authority. The hall impresses with its volume and character, anticipating what this home represents: uncompromising authenticity and a rehabilitation executed with technical rigor to ensure stability and permanence for generations. The restoration has been deep and structural: completely new roof with mesh and lightweight concrete with expanded clay, preservation of traditional techniques such as cane work, renewed floors eliminating degraded materials, original beams recovered and treated against woodworm reinforced with a metal structure, staircase reconstituted with iron support and regularized geometry for maximum safety while respecting its original essence. Double walls in most of the house for insulation and protection against humidity. Completely new electrical and plumbing installations. Attic with resistant and fireproof flooring.

A full bathroom with a bathtub, an intimate space for reflection with an altar to the Virgin, and a spacious cellar with vaulted ceilings and natural light complete a floor that connects with the purest essence of the home.

On the main floor, the house expands and becomes the true social hub. Living room with library, double bedroom with dressing room and full bathroom with shower forming a suite area, a second bathroom with a rehabilitated bathtub over 300 years old, being a piece with its own soul, and a spectacular kitchen of approximately 50 m2 conceived as the heart of the house. A large central table for 8-12 diners presides over the space, accompanied by a wine area, tea corner, independent coffee space, and a large pantry. From here, you access an outdoor terrace with dining area and lounge area, perfect for enjoying the Mediterranean climate with privacy and character.

Among the floors, a children's room retains the original flooring from three centuries ago, reminding us that this house has seen generations pass by.
