Villa Bourgainville

Set in the rolling hills of Can Tomás, this rustic six-bedroom finca was once a monastery – and is now available for rent exclusively with Domus Nova.

Shrouded by a canopy of bougainvillea and surrounded by a carpet of greenery, there’s an off-grid feel to Villa Bourgainville, a 200-year-old finca intertwined in the landscape. Set on a quiet, gated plot, its past life is preserved in its architectural details – think roughly hewn Sabina wood beams, uneven walls and tactile stonework. Outside rambling gardens filled with statuesque fig and olive trees serve as a reminder that this place has been here for centuries.

Reimagined by Agnès Roca of interior design and architecture practice LUV Studio, natural tones and textures have made their way inside. Stucco lime plaster walls and stone floors imported from southern Spain lend an organic feel that’s both understated and elegant.

The main living area is a standout space. Gnarled beams crown the high ceiling, while curved niches and archways bring an undulating aesthetic, and divide the room into distinctive zones for gathering and lounging. The carefully chosen furniture continues the relaxed, comfortable aesthetic – all circular stone tables, deep white sofas and woven lampshades.

In the kitchen, the old and the new unite. A monolithic stone island in a similar shade of green to the surrounding landscape dominates the space. Integrated Smeg appliances, a double fridge and a utility room take care of the practicalities of feeding a crowd. From here, steps lead down to the indoor dining area with an eight-seater table finished in soothing tones.

Wherever you are at Villa Bourgainville, there’s an inseparable connection with the outdoors. Sabina wood pergolas act as a conduit between interior and exterior spaces – and provide shelter for an exceptional al fresco kitchen, with a gas barbecue, large table and day beds for kicking back overlooking the inviting pool and landscaping by Eiviss Gardens.

Back inside, all six bedrooms prioritise natural textures – expect linens, stone and upholstered headboards, in a palette of calming tones. The upstairs bedrooms – including the sumptuous principal suite – also come with deep, freestanding bathtubs. All boast a terrace, for effortless access to the outside. For another perspective on the lush, Jurassic-like scenery, head up to the roof terrace – an unrivalled sunset spot.
