furnished castles for sale Girona, Spain

Built in 1890 and fully renovated in 2025, Château de l’Ille is an exceptional property located in Saint-Laurent-de-Cerdans, in the heart of the Vallespir region of the Pyrénées-Orientales. With approximately 1,000 m² of built space, the estate is organized around the main château, two annexes, a caretaker's house, and a vast landscaped park. Together, they form a rare property, simultaneously a heritage residence and a haven for high-end hospitality. The main château forms the elegant heart of the property. On the ground floor, it houses the living and reception rooms, including two lounges, a dining room, and an open-plan kitchen, all designed for entertaining in an elegant and welcoming setting. The first floor is entirely dedicated to workspaces, meeting rooms, and offices, offering an ideal environment for seminars, professional retreats, creative residencies, or coworking sessions. The second floor houses four suites, offering a more intimate and residential atmosphere. In the basement, technical areas, storage spaces, and a wine cellar complete the building's functional spaces. The renovation was extensive: the buildings were completely refurbished, modernized, and adapted for contemporary use, while preserving certain majestic period features that give the place its unique character, including the original floors, some of the woodwork, the ceiling moldings, and the fireplaces in every room of the château. Comfort was also a priority throughout the property, with electric radiators and towel warmers installed in the various spaces, bedrooms, and bathrooms. The right wing extends the spirit of the estate with additional accommodation and a former chapel converted into a wine bar. This unique space, both intimate and spectacular, offers an ideal setting for tastings, social gatherings, private parties, or confidential events. The left wing further expands the estate's accommodation capacity. Together, the two annexes house 12 bedrooms and suites, comfortably accommodating families, guests, management teams, or groups. The annexes have undergone a complete renovation: zinc roofs, double-glazed aluminum windows, new floors laid with antique cement tiles, rock wool insulation in the exterior walls, and plasterboard lining. This renovation combines performance, comfort, and respect for the spirit of the place.
