Modernist villas in Salou | Xalet Bonet an example of the late modernist style
|
|

Salou is the capital of the Costa Dorada, and has some spectacular modernist architecture.Walking on Paseo Jaume I we will find examples of this architectonic style. A style that left its first traces on very characteristic houses and villas in town such as, Chalet Bonet (1918), by the architect Domènech Sugranyes I Gras.
Built by the textile manufacturer Ciriac Bonet in 1918, Xalet Bonet or Xalet Voramar, is the work of the architect Domènec Sugranyes i Gras, a disciple and collaborator of Gaudí. It is an example of the late modernist style and one of the most emblematic buildings of Salou. Despite Cirac owning a house in the nearby city of Reus, his attention for this late modernistic masterpiece was substantial.

Casa Oda, Cap Salou
|
Near Cala Penya Tallada, a heavenly sandy beach on Cap Salou is this beautiful, cozy comfortable villa, Casa Oda. The house is located in a quiet street near the Camino de Ronda, a pedestrian promenade that connects the most beautiful beaches of Salou and Cabo de Salou. Underneath this small modernist villa hidden between mulberry trees, pine trees, agaves, and oleander bushes, a renovation is needed, but those who are not afraid to give this potential dream house the necessary care, have their own holiday paradise within reach.
