Myths of the Mountain Baqueira, Catalonia

Property Description

Around four hours inland from the sun-soaked shores of Barcelona, the Pyrenees town of Baqueira offers a completely different lifestyle. Swapping beaches for slopes, this ski resort is set among the region's rugged peaks and dramatic valleys. And just a few hundred metres away from the ski lifts of Baqueira-Beret itself, this home offers a cosy place to rest your feet after a long day on the snow.

Leave all your gear in the private ski storage facility and head up to your cosy apartment. With rich wooden ceilings alongside soft fabrics and a woolly rug, the living space has a ‘hygge’ Scandi feel. On this theme, minimalist furnishings and an understated decor continue as you explore the living space. This allows for the real star of the show to stand out – the striking corner window.

Glass panels and dark frames create a spectacular scene for dining, with views out to thick forests and hills beyond. It's even better when the optional private chef is serving your meal. Pour yourself a final glass of Catalonian red after dinner to take out to the balcony. Perching at the wooden bannister in the fresh mountain air, it’s easy to let your mind drift away.
