Casa Esteva

A place to dream. Surrounded by nature and ancient stones, this house opens to the forest and sky. Perfect for writers, thinkers, and slow mornings with tea and birdsong.

Casa Esteva, with capacity for four guests, is a true haven for those seeking silence and introspection. Its name pays tribute to the esteva (rockrose), the aromatic shrub that perfumes the local hillsides with its white blossoms. This spacious house was designed for those who wish to slow down and deeply relax, with wide, open areas that invite contemplation and rest.

Inside, the wooden ceilings and neutral palette of natural textures create a sense of lightness and purity. Outside, terraces surrounded by native flower beds and aromatic herbs become perfect spaces for meditation, yoga, or simply enjoying the sunset. A private water tank invites refreshing dips, while the cosy bedrooms and bathrooms provide a serene and comfortable retreat.
