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.

culinary-lovers’ dream

The true heart of the house is the large kitchen. With a sense of '20s-era coziness this perfectly equipped kitchen with high-end appliances is a culinary-lovers’ dream; It can set the stage for a most sophisticated soiree.

Open to the adjoining living space the space has the ideal layout for entertaining. It offers easy traffic flow for guests to meander and mingle throughout the kitchen and multiple cooks working side by side.

The center island provides a generous amount of countertop surface to display the most delectable buffet. The full metal, industrial-inspired masterpiece exudes a traditional charm (in keeping with its environment) whilst maintaining a serious next-big-thing appeal. Your party guests will be forever impressed!
