Imagine walking through the Looking Glass and discovering a beautiful house full of treasures …..then, welcome to the Yellow House which nestles in the middle of the achingly pretty Andalucian town of Higuera de la Sierra within Huelva’s natural park. Dating back to 1892, and originally the home of the town’s Mayor, the Yellow House has the Wow factor and is unimaginably beautiful. The entrance hall boasts a piano and fabulous chandelier. Although completely restored, Simone has managed to retain all the original features (including 102 shutters and windows that have been removed to be meticulously stripped and re-sanded………and all the floor tiles are original) …… fixtures and fittings have been chosen with care and are contemporary – including bathroom fittings imported from the Burlington Bathroom Company in the UK. Downstairs are 3 fabulous bedrooms (all with stunning en-suite bathrooms), a cosy living room, fabulous dining room with quirky prints, original fireplace and a super swish kitchen with its built-in fridge and cooker, ultra-modern appliances and original tiled floor, which leads onto the courtyard. There is everything that guests could possibly need to cook up a storm
Upstairs are 3 further bedrooms – all with fabulous chandeliers, views across the town and stunning bathrooms with walk in showers and lovely organic toiletries. Here is your second living room with velvet sofas and quirky hand painted pictures.
But……..one of the stars of this design show has to be the walled and gated courtyard with it’s glass sided heated plunge pool……..cocktail lounge and potted palms……….. Original doors lead into town with its choice of restaurants and tapas bars….all within walking distance.
Over the years, owner Simone has been a restauranteur, wine grower and art collector. She is also passionate about supporting local producers and their produce. She has always loved rescuing old houses and transforming them into something magical whilst retaining their original essence. The Yellow House fits perfectly into her portfolio of magical homes.
