[On 17 November last La Almudaina, supplement of the Diario de Mallorcapublished a chronicle about this wonderful penthouse located in Santa Catalina, one of the most beloved and popular neighbourhoods in the city of Palma].
Living in the Santa Catalina neighbourhood, living in El Jonquet is already a choice that makes the person who chooses it different because in fact there is already a certain dose of creativity and distinction that other more luxurious areas will never be able to offer. There are already the most avant-garde shops in the city, icons such as B Connected, a sincere, industrial space that is changing the concept of contemporary life, together with cool restaurants such as the Patrón Lunares or the Monolisto in the Mercat de Santa Catalina, another of the must-visits that surrounds this home of Monaparta new form of real estate with offices in Palma and Barcelona.
The house, created by its owner with extreme attention to detail is the perfect example, we believe, that sums up what it is, what it means to live in one of the most loved and popular neighbourhoods in the city of Palma. It is a flat of only 69 square metres, with one bathroom, one bedroom and a beautiful terrace. It does not need more. It is located in a corner building between party walls, with ground floor and four floors, with lift and two neighbours per floor, which gives the sensation of living in a town house, being able to enjoy the advantages of the city centre in a penthouse with terrace of 62 m2 of constructed surface plus two terraces on two levels of 20m2 and 12m2, with one bedroom and one bathroom, magnificently dressed, located on a fourth floor of a building with lift, northeast orientation and frontal views over Santa Catalina and lateral views to the sea.
Completely refurbished in 2010, and unused, it has high quality materials and construction solutions. The interior design is striking, very careful and welcoming, without pretensions that in a place like this would not come to the case and topped with a set of custom-made furniture in white lacquered wood that give a light, a very special cleanliness. The entrance hall has been converted into a hallway-bookshop, the living room is open and connected to the large terrace in a very wise use of space and light. Another example, the new and perfectly equipped kitchen is open to the living room with natural light. It encourages communication and enjoyment.
The double bedroom en suite with a very generous bathroom with bathtub and shower and overhead lighting is the point of stylistic perfection that makes the difference. The high standard of the finishes, the exquisite design of the spaces and the luminosity of the rooms stand out in what this writer defines as the new luxury that is changing Palma de Mallorca as a cosmopolitan city, like a Mediterranean New York continually discovering and reinventing itself.
