The Modernism era saw a great boom in construction of both official and religious buildings including the private and stately mansions built by the Catalan bourgeoisie. Modernism is a revitalization of all arts and crafts: eminently ornamental style, with the inclusion in the architecture of handcrafted elements such as forging, stucco, ceramics, glasswork, and joinery, all reflected in this incredible Villa. You can see the hand carved moldings and rosettes on the high ceilings, valances and the windows that allow light to enter through all corners of the house. The majestic marble stairs, the impressive archways in doors, the handcrafted wooden floors and the marble sculptures throughout are reflective of this [hidden] the rear of the villa there is a beautiful and unique garden at two heights with different charming spaces surrounding this beautiful modernist jewel.The location is ideal as it's 5 minutes from the Ronda de Barcelona, 15 minutes from the airport, and near the best international schools in the city. The street is highly sought after as it is  revered as architecturally historic. Tibidabo Avenue was conceived of in 1897 by Doctor Andreu, who had dreamt of an elegant garden city in which powerful families could build their private mansions. The idea was to get away from the grids of the Eixample and from neighbors and factories and breathe the pure mountain air on Tibidabo.
