S’Agaró is synonymous with exclusivity, tradition, and Mediterranean beauty on the Costa Brava. In the iconic Sant Pol bay stands Casa Sant Pol, one of the first homes built in the area and a prime example of local architectural heritage.
Casa Sant Pol, also known as Casa Girbau Estrada, is a monument included in the Architectural Heritage Inventory of Catalonia, located in the municipality of Sant Feliu de Guíxols (Baix Empordà). It is a standalone building on the seafront, surrounded by a large garden, offering privacy and direct contact with nature.
This historic property features a ground floor, main floor, and attic, with a gabled tile roof. The main façade, facing the sea, stands out for its porch with a large brick semicircular arch and a smaller stepped arch to the left. On the main floor, two large openings lead to a terrace covered by a canopy supported by four columns, which in turn serves as the base for an upper terrace accessed from the attic. In the attic, three narrow rectangular openings provide light and ventilation. Access to the first floor from the rear garden is via an exterior staircase.
Among the most notable decorative elements of Casa Sant Pol are the sgraffito on the façades and the ornamental use of wood, giving the house its unique character. The house was designed by architect Josep Goday in 1910, alongside the Domènech-Girbau house, during a transitional period between Modernism and Noucentisme, influenced by the “white stage” of his mentor Josep Puig i Cadafalch.
Preserving these architectural and ornamental details ensures the authenticity and heritage value of the property, making it a unique piece in S’Agaró. The interior spaces are spacious and bright, with open living rooms and large windows that allow natural light and exceptional views of the Mediterranean.
