A residence as exquisite as the story behind it

A residence as exquisite as the story behind it

Rare opportunities often bring with them a sense of privilege. This beguiling apartment in the old heart of Valencia certainly does that, infused as it is with the dignity of its long heritage. Formerly the French consulate of the city, it was bought and completely renovated by a local lady of note, who was subsequently anointed ambassador of Valencia’s Las Fallas Festival and Queen of the Fallera, the largest street festival in Europe.

The apartment occupies an entire floor of this elegant residential building, close to the central market of Mercado de ColĆ³n in one of Valenciaā€™s most prestigious neighbourhoods. From an impressive marble entrance hall, the expansive accommodation comprises a large living, dining and entertaining area thatā€™s both stylishly modern and invitingly warm. The well-sized kitchen likewise opens to the generous balcony offering views of the street below. Behind, the primary ensuite bedroom with separate, spacious dressing room acts also as a living reminder of the ownerā€™s year as Queen of the Fallera, with mannequins displaying the wondrous hand-woven dresses made for her – the glorious muted tones of which inform the apartmentā€™s colour scheme. Three further bedrooms with bathrooms complete the comforts that this opportunity provides.

Situated in the city’s Ensanche district, the apartmentā€™s immediate surroundings give onto wide, tree-lined avenues of elegant architecture. Ensanche is a sought-after residential area, offering a blend of historic charm and modern amenities. The nearby Mercado de ColĆ³n is a beautifully restored market ā€“ a hub for gourmet dining, boutique shopping, social gatherings and a vibrant cultural scene. This is a location and an opportunity that embodies alike the honor, the legacy and the lively spirit of Valencia.
