Modernista Mansion for Sale in Sant Pere de Ribes, Sitges

746 m² Catalan Modernisme mansion on the main square of Sant Pere de Ribes, 10 minutes from Sitges: 12 bedrooms, original murals, a 500 m² garden and a 360° roof terrace.

An Art Nouveau mansion on the main square of Sant Pere de Ribes

This exquisite period residence stands in a privileged position on the lively main square of Sant Pere de Ribes, just 10 minutes from the beaches of Sitges and under an hour from the centre of Barcelona. It is a notable example of early twentieth-century Art Nouveau, known in Catalonia as Modernisme, and it shows exceptional craftsmanship and original detail throughout — a house that reflects a rich and happy history.

With 746 m² of living space, a 500 m² garden and access from both the front and the back, the mansion offers immense potential. The restoration process is already under way, giving the next owner a rare opportunity to return it to its former splendour.

Original Catalan Modernisme features

The original hydraulic mosaic floors run through the house, alongside elaborate stonework carved with acanthus leaves. At its heart rises a majestic central staircase adorned with wrought-iron flowers, its walls finished in Marmorino Veneziano stucco and crowned by an intricate stone-effect frieze.

Many of the great rooms keep their original murals, frescoes and painted motifs typical of the Art Nouveau period, some of them with hidden messages and riddles still waiting to be read.

Ground floor: entrance hall, dining room and garden access

A formal entrance from the square leads through carved, double-height doors into an ornate antechamber and on to an elegant vestibule with the striking staircase. The ground floor holds two spacious bedrooms decorated with murals, a third bedroom or study with a dressing room and a charmingly detailed bathroom, a dining and living room with its original fireplace, the kitchen and direct access to the garden.

First floor: grand salon and terrace over the garden

The first floor offers five spacious interconnecting bedrooms, one of them currently used as a study, and a large salon with important murals. The salon opens onto a large terrace overlooking the garden, which can also be reached from another bedroom. A bathroom completes this floor.

Top floor: vaulted Catalan ceilings and terracotta floors

The upper floor has a rustic charm of its own, with vaulted Catalan ceilings, terracotta floors and decorative painting. It includes four more bedrooms — one used as an art studio, another as a dressing room — an additional sitting room and a bathroom.

Roof terrace with 360° views of the Garraf

Above it all, a generous roof terrace opens to 360° views over the square, the church (beautifully lit at night), the Garraf Natural Park and the surrounding countryside. There is potential for a jacuzzi and an outdoor entertaining area, subject to permits.

A 500 m² private garden in the town centre

The garden includes a large cistern, a laundry, outbuildings and a decorative wrought-iron gate onto the road. Several cars can be parked inside the garden — a rare asset in the centre of town. The property has central gas heating, and the electrics of the upper floor have been completely renewed.

A family residence or a boutique hotel near Sitges

This exceptional house could be restored as a grand single-family home or reimagined as a boutique hotel, holiday apartments, an events venue or a restaurant — or a combination of these — subject to planning approval. A rare chance to own a piece of Catalan Art Nouveau in a thriving town just 10 minutes from Sitges and within easy reach of Barcelona.
