Inside Castell Roure Osor SantHilari

Stepping through the entrance of this extraordinary castle rental in Sant Hilari Sacalm reveals interiors that honour the building’s heritage while catering to contemporary expectations. The ground floor alone spans several grand reception spaces, beginning with a 70-square-metre Music Hall where soaring ceilings, elegant period detailing and a grand piano set the tone for memorable evenings.

The formal dining room stretches across 74 square metres and features its own fireplace alongside a substantial dining table, ideal for hosting celebratory dinners with all guests seated together in refined surroundings. A charming circular tower room of 19 square metres offers an intimate retreat for reading, quiet conversation or small gatherings away from the main flow of the house.

Across the upper floors, twelve individually appointed bedrooms provide luxurious sleeping quarters for up to 23 guests. Each room carries its own character, with period architectural touches such as arched doorways, exposed stone and timber beams complementing tasteful furnishings and quality linens. Twelve bathrooms ensure absolute convenience and privacy, a detail that elevates this property well beyond the typical large-group rental.
