architectural gem
Sitting proudly on a hillside, this manor house was once the residence of noted General Jaime Garau de Montaner. After completion in 1922 the building was modeled after Cuban Art Deco architecture with a central tower and a stately balcony.
Though totally refurbished in 2018, the integrity and old world ambience remain, visible in details like the impressive marble entrance stairs, pattern tiled floors and manor – like ceilings.
meeting of styles
The house is warm and inviting, with spacious rooms and vibrant accents. Its owners are architects, known to deftly work midcentury silhouettes into many of their interior projects, incorporating them alongside antiques from other eras in a manner that feels both polished and fresh, presenting midcentury designs in a thoroughly original way.
Inside Mansion Dux you’ll find a well thought out design theme, perfectly executed in every room. Settle into the iconic Elda lounger for a mid-century-style nap, slip into a 20’s Cesca chair for a meal with views across the Sierra Tramuntana, select a vintage from the wine cellar and gather by the cosy fireplace.
