Managed Exclusively by Sitges Hills Villas - Villa Dumas is without doubt a spectacular architectural masterpiece set high on a hill overlooking the town of Sitges and enjoying sweeping panoramic views of the Mediterranean sea on one side and the hills of the Garraf Natural Parc on the other.
The design of Villa Dumas has been significantly influenced by the famous Mexican architect Ricardo Legorretta, who was known for his use of natural elements and colours sympathetic to the location as well as his deep understanding of how to utilise natural light to enhance spaces. Both Legorretta and the architects of Villa Duma were inspired by another famous Mexican architect Luis Barragan and his architectural philosophy "Modern but not Moderniste”.
One of the signatures features of Legorretta’s work is utilized in Villa Dumas, and this is the use of custom made small square deep coffer windows that allow sunlight to fill a room through the winter months but restrict it during the summer months, enabling the house to remain both cool and light.
In style with Legorretta's beliefs, the house incorporates several local materials, including the hand made tova (terracotta) floor tiles that are laid throughout all of the main living areas, made to order by local artisans in the hills of the nearby Garraf. The attractive timber beams that form the ceiling were sourced and specially cut for the house from timber from the forests of the Pyrenees mountains.
Other stunning features include the metal louvered and decorative doors that have been designed and specially crafted for the house and allow cool air to circulate throughout the interior in summer.
The centerpiece of the sunny exterior of the villa is the amazing 18m x 3m HEATED swimming pool, designed both for serious swimming as well as for just having fun. The pool is perfectly positioned to maximise the guests’ enjoyment of all-day sunshine and the stunning views across to Sitges and the sea.
Another fantastic feature of Villa Dumas is that it has direct access from the garden into the Garraf Natural Parc and its network of hundreds of kilometers of hiking and biking trails.
Villa Dumas is located in the highly popular and private residential area of Levantina just a short drive from Sitges town centre and beaches.
