House with the Essence of Vejer

WE DO NOT CHARGE COMMISSION In one of the most beautiful villages of Andalusia, like a white pearl on the coast of Cadiz, stands Vejer. In its medieval centre, a stone's throw from the Plaza de España and the Arch of the City, zigzagging through its narrow streets, away from the hustle and bustle of tourism, you will find Casa "7 balconies and 1 patio". The building, wrapped around a traditional Andalusian courtyard with arches, was built in the traditional style of local architecture and dates from the late 18th century. Centuries of Muslim, Roman, Jewish and Christian past can be felt, where vestiges such as its well, its cistern, its Tarifa flagstones, its ochre and chiaroscuro coloured cave alternate, achieving a balance that enraptures the visitor. The house harmoniously integrates the past and all the elements of modern comfort with an exquisite decoration since it was completely renovated in 2008. The sensitivity and good taste of its owners was translated into the use of original materials of quality or recovered or handmade in the area such as its hydraulic floors, its showers with tadelakt coating, its tiles, its cobblestones, the old beams that decorate part of the house and of course some ceramic washbasins handmade by the owners. But contemporary elements have also been incorporated, such as the cantilevered staircase that connects the first floor with the spacious roof terrace. From the entrance hall you enter a bright and open to the sky central courtyard, which serves as a distribution axis and surrounds a large house of almost 450 m2 with a capacity for 10-12 people. As we wander around the house we discover that its 4 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, its multipurpose room or ceramic studio and its spacious 115m2 flat with a 5th bedroom plus a large attic and access to the terrace, could easily be converted into 2 studio flats, a suite and a double bedroom, all with en suite bathrooms, apart from the aforementioned spacious flat which also has an independent entrance and the possibility of isolating itself from the rest of the house. And what can we say about the roof terrace, the perfect place to relax in the sun around the chill-out area or to enjoy the views. So many options and corners to enjoy the peace that emanates from the house make it possible to relive the essence of Vejer.
