Description

Some houses are visited, while others are remembered. This one belongs to the latter category. In one of the most extraordinary corners of Santiago de Compostela, opposite the steps leading to Plaza del Obradoiro and on the historic Rúa da Trindade, stands this magnificent home—an exceptional property combining the city’s history and character with the comfort and sophistication of a contemporary renovation. With 499 m² of built area, the property has been carefully renovated to preserve its essence while offering spacious, bright spaces perfectly adapted to modern living.

The heart of the house is a large living room designed as two separate areas: an elegant and welcoming space suited both to quiet conversation and entertaining guests. The kitchen, carefully integrated into the overall design, features a projecting window that provides natural light and direct ventilation, creating a particularly pleasant everyday space.

The layout is completed by a lift and a spectacular wooden staircase with cantilevered steps, complemented by a delicate wrought-iron railing. These details remind you, throughout every journey around the house, that this is a property with a personality of its own.

The main bedroom is conceived as a private space: spacious, bright and carefully separated from the rest of the home, with a dressing room and an elegant en-suite bathroom equipped with a shower enclosure.

This same floor also contains two further bedrooms, a full bathroom and a guest cloakroom, creating a comfortable layout both for family life and for welcoming visitors.

The upper floor is designed as a space for rest and privacy. It includes an open sitting room for the use and enjoyment of this floor, a bedroom-study and another double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, which share the space with a bathroom. Together, they create a versatile area adaptable to each owner’s needs: bedrooms, an office, library or guest accommodation. The house is heated by geothermal energy.

A spacious porch extends the living areas outdoors. A large round table with benches invites you to share summer lunches and dinners, while the swimming pool turns the garden into a genuine space for enjoyment and relaxation. Yet if the interior is impressive, it is outside that the house reveals one of its greatest privileges: a private estate of over 1,200 m² with a swimming pool—an extraordinarily rare feature in this location, in the heart of Santiago’s historic district. This private garden offers a sense of space and tranquillity difficult to find in the monumental heart of a city. The house has a garage for one vehicle and parking within the estate for several more.

The property also includes an independent 86 m² apartment, which may be purchased together with the main residence or separately. This is a particularly attractive option for those seeking additional space for guests, family members, staff, a professional office or even an independent second residence.

Location: Santiago de Compostela, Galicia

The location is simply extraordinary. The house is situated behind the Pazo de Raxoi, one of the great jewels of 18th-century Neoclassicism and the current seat of Santiago City Council. From here, the grandeur of the historic city is part of the everyday landscape: stepping outside means encountering Santiago at its finest. Living here means having Santiago de Compostela on your doorstep, enjoying breakfast in the tranquillity of a private garden and, just a few steps later, finding yourself in the Plaza del Obradoiro. It means enjoying a renovated and comfortable home within one of Spain’s most important historic settings.

Few places in Spain can offer an urban experience comparable to that of the Plaza del Obradoiro. From the house, Santiago’s history unfolds just steps away. The Cathedral of Santiago, a thousand-year-old destination for pilgrims and one of Europe’s great icons, presides over an extraordinary square where some of the city’s most representative buildings stand. Opposite it rises the Hostal de los Reyes Católicos, formerly the Royal Hospital of the Catholic Monarchs, whose imposing Renaissance architecture is inseparable from the image of the Obradoiro. Beside it, the Pazo de Raxoi, a magnificent 18th-century neoclassical building and current seat of Santiago City Council, lends the square its elegant stone façade. Completing this exceptional ensemble is the Colegio de San Xerome, home to the Rectorate of the University of Santiago de Compostela, whose presence recalls the profound university tradition of a city that has been connected with knowledge and culture for centuries.
