Description Change this
The hotel designed by the frm of Camprubí i Santacana Arquitectes is an innovative project comprising a central house containing the services and communal areas, plus ten rooms built independently.
The hotel, which has borrowed the name of the hermitage, is notable for its close links with the natural world. For a start, the rooms are not classical hotel bedrooms but individual cubes clad with wood, set 100 m from the hotel’s central nucleus on a hillside reached via a natural garden of rosemary and thyme. They are called kubes: 36 sq. m of simple, almost minimalist architecture. Black slate foor, a bathtub dug out of the selfsame foor, a bathroom with a separate shower, a suspended chimney, an armchair and a reading lamp.
Each cube has a large west-facing window and terrace, framing a view exclusively confned to rolling hills shrouded in pine trees, with not a single building in sight.
