The Catalan Patio

The patio and its unusual fountain

 

Breakfast is served in a large unusual patio (90m2) and a mosaic fountain (Gaudi style). Our guest rooms are arranged around the patio.

 

History of the patio

 

The shape and dimensions given to this fountain result from a reflection on the proportions of the existing space and the open sky through which the light descends into the patio. The circular shape of the fountain creates a contrast with the square shape of the patio and integrates with its rounded lines into the surrounding arcades. The mosaic decoration was made with minerals and glass paste for certain colors.

The artist(Mizrahi) created other mosaic fountains, notably in Collioure, and other works, some of which occupy public spaces such as at Barcarès, in Saint-Cyprien.
