In 1950, a French consul commissioned the construction of his residence in Terramar – one of the most tranquil and exclusive areas of Sitges, near Barcelona. More than 75 years later, the villa remains faithful to its original design, and is now listed on idealista for €7.5 million.

The property offers 1,294 m² of built space on a 3,006 m² plot bordered by three streets, with no adjoining neighbours and just 200 metres from the sea. It provides a level of privacy reminiscent of another era, in one of the most sought-after locations on the Barcelona coast.
The layout extends across two main floors and a basement. The main living level features three bright lounges, a study with a library, a kitchen and two bathrooms. The upper floor includes seven south-facing en-suite bedrooms with private terraces – along with an additional double bedroom, bringing the total to eleven bedrooms and eleven bathrooms.
The basement level is one of the most striking elements of the villa – housing a full wellness area with an indoor heated pool, sauna, Turkish bath, gym and changing rooms – all designed for everyday use or entertaining. A wine cellar with a bar and pool table completes this space.
The property also includes a separate guest house – with three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom – as well as a large covered parking area for several vehicles, ideal for staff or visiting guests.
Outside, the villa is surrounded by a generously sized garden where decades of growth have created shaded areas, secluded corners and lush vegetation, ensuring privacy throughout the year.
Within this setting, the outdoor pool becomes the focal point of life during Sitges’ long, warm seasons.
Acquiring this villa is, in many ways, inheriting the vision of a French diplomat who chose Sitges as his home. Living here is not only about comfort, but about continuing a story that has evolved for more than three-quarters of a century.
