Keller Williams offers the most demanding client a 12th century palace located within the historical and monumental enclosure of the Cistercian monastery of Santes Creus, of great architectural and historical uniqueness.

This exceptional house, located within the monastic and walled enclosure of the monastery, before being acquired by the family that currently owns it, was formerly used as a hospital, pilgrims' reception center or monastery wine cellar. Due to its size, configuration and spaces, the palace could be adapted by means of small interventions, as 3 independent houses or as a unique boutique hotel.

Entering through the main door located in the same Jaume el Just square in front of the monastery facade, and crossing a cool and elegant corridor, we discover a large main hall from where you can access on the right hand side to a space used as a garage and storage with access to the square.

At the end of the hall and up a small staircase to the left we find a large living room on the first floor, which distributes several rooms to the right and at the bottom gives access to the great and noble hall of the palace, with a spectacular stone fireplace topped by an imposing coat of arms.

This magnificent and bright living room is furnished and arranged with different environments, offering beautiful views of the garden with fruit trees of the property, and panoramic views of the Camp de Tarragona. In turn, going out to the main balcony of this room, an external staircase communicates this floor with the lower floor and the same garden and orchard of the house.

Once again in the large hall before the large living room, we find two double bedrooms with an exterior balcony, a small dining room next to the old kitchen, and an interior staircase that communicates with the lower floor or semi-basement of the house.

From this floor and up a short flight of stairs, the house has a fully updated bathroom, a fully equipped laundry and ironing area, and a lower office at street level with independent access door to the same corridor of the house.

Going up a beautiful staircase, decorated with small glass windows designed by the owners themselves, we reach the second floor of the house, mainly used for sleeping rooms (former alcoves), all of them preceded by spacious distributors, some of them arranged as dining rooms, but most of them conditioned as individual living rooms. This floor has a large updated full bathroom designed with high quality materials, which occupies the old space destined to the chapel of the palace. This floor is completed by an outdoor space overlooking the rear facade of the palace, preceded by a beautiful porticoed gallery-balcony, which takes advantage on the outside, the roof of the second floor as a large terrace.

Going up to the top floor of the house, we find a large open room arranged on two levels, wooden floors, and two full bathrooms, overlooking the facade of the monastery on the front and the garden on the other rear facade. This floor, has pre-installation of a possible kitchen in two corners, designed if desired to distribute as independent rooms.

Returning to the lower staircase that connects the first floor with the basement, the palace houses a new kitchen with a central island exquisitely equipped and designed, along with a summer dining room, a reading room, and a nice courtesy bathroom. This floor is the anteroom to the palace garden, its orchard, trees and quiet corners decorated with sensitive and careful details.

Finally, the house is completed by an interior service corridor that breathes history when crossing it, where the rooms used for heating and equipment of the house are located, with modern and recent boilers fully updated and maintained.

An exclusive property offered unfurnished, located in this unique inland area of the Camp de Tarragona full of magic and charm, close to the AP-2 freeway linking Barcelona with Zaragoza, 20' from the capital of Tarragonés, and the high speed train station (AVE), and is fully prepared to live with ample amenities, or to project as an interesting investment and business.
