Description
Cal Compte, one of the most majestic houses in the Priorat, was built in 1801 on old structures from the sixteenth century, in the refined taste of the time. ~~In 2007 it was refurbished as rural accommodation, respecting the aesthetics and original architecture to the maximum and giving each corner its personality and has a tourist activities license.~~It is a space for those who think that authenticity is a luxury and who want to be part of the centuries-old history of Cal Compte and Priorat.~~A spacious entrance welcomes customers and acts as a distributor. The old stables were used for the hotel facilities: boiler, water and diesel tanks. ~There is an elevator and a workshop-storage room that also serves to store bicycles.~~Baroque doors hide the wide staircase. At the back, as if it were an independent apartment, there is access to a large dining room. Around it there is the main kitchen with office and pantry, the library, another smaller dining room and a living area. A side corridor leads to the bathroom and the wardrobe room. The dining room itself opens directly onto the outside. First a porch and then an open terrace over the garden. ~~The views of the Montsant natural park and the vineyards are spectacular. The pavement is the original clay. The doors, paintings and mosaic are from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. ~~The staircase leads us to a large living room that opens onto the colonial-style covered terrace. ~A room, used as a meeting space, and toilets. There is also a spacious office with the pre-installations prepared for a kitchen. ~From the covered terrace, a small porch leads to the old latrines. The walls are covered in graffiti from when the house was occupied by soldiers during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). Looking west, in the afternoon sun, we find an old guest room, the old bedroom of the lord of the house and the chapel. This dependency group is not restored. ~It features frescoed walls and 18th-century woodwork and 19th-century ceramic floors.~~The old loft houses eight modern and comfortable bedrooms with bathrooms. ~Three suites and five double bedrooms. ~The spaces are versatile and grouped in such a way that they can function as three apartments. ~The suites have a living-dining-kitchen room. ~All this around a rest area with a fireplace and access to a solarium ideal for sunbathing, stargazing or simply listening to the silence.~~Cal Compte is a great opportunity to be part of the history of wine.~~Cal Compte is passion! ~A magical place with a special energy. A place for lovers of authenticity where there is no ostentation and everything is genuine.
