Its exceptional outdoor space, with a uniquely designed pool spread over two levels, waterfalls, lush gardens, chill-out areas and ancillary spaces, makes the property a true Mediterranean oasis of privacy, tranquillity and well-being.

A villa steeped in history

Villa Marcia was the home of the celebrated concert pianist Mercè Rigalt i Lladós, a familiar figure in royal circles who performed for Queen Isabella II of Spain and on some of the leading opera stages of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Her legacy, elegance and noble spirit are still present in every room of this unique property.

Main house 478 m²

The main house is arranged over two floors and stands out for its grand reception rooms, high ceilings, generous proportions and high-quality finishes.

On the main floor, a majestic entrance hall leads to a spacious living room with a fireplace, where Mercè Rigalt i Lladós’s piano is preserved.

Adjacent to the living room is a large, fully glazed winter terrace with spectacular views of the sea and garden, allowing you to enjoy the scenery all year round.

The spacious dining room comfortably seats 22 and has direct access to the garden. It connects to a large, fully equipped kitchen with fitted cupboards and views of the surrounding greenery. From the kitchen, a service staircase leads to the ironing and laundry area.

An elegant staircase leads from the hall to the first floor, where 6 magnificent suites are arranged. Three offer beautiful sea views, one with a private terrace, while the other three overlook the harmonious garden.

All the bedrooms retain the spaciousness, high ceilings and stately character typical of the house.

Guest house 118 m², recently renovated

The adjoining house, arranged over three floors, has recently been renovated, combining the property’s architectural charm with a more contemporary style and all modern comforts.

It features 2 bedrooms, a dressing room, a full bathroom, a guest toilet and an open-plan kitchen adjoining a cosy living room with garden views.

All rooms are exterior-facing, and the house also has a terrace overlooking the sea and Altafulla’s historic centre.

This space is ideal as independent guest accommodation, a private residence or as part of the newly authorised hotel project.

Historic chapel 24 m²

The property includes a 24 m² historic chapel with an altarpiece and stained-glass windows made of coloured glass and lead.

This unique architectural feature adds exceptional historical, heritage and emotional value to Villa Marcia as a whole.

A Mediterranean oasis

One of the property’s main highlights is undoubtedly its outdoor space.

Centuries-old vegetation, water flowing through interconnected ponds and waterfalls, and the distinctive natural-shaped pool create a Zen-inspired setting designed for enjoying peace and quiet, the sunshine and long Mediterranean sunsets.
