The village of Sella in the Aitana Mountains, Alicante

Where Dutch precision meets Mediterranean light.

Look carefully between the mountains — the village of Sella is visible in the distance.

Tucked away in a village at the foot of the Aitana Mountains, in the province of Alicante, Casalvia is Studio Hermanides' flagship hospitality project and Mediterranean design extension. It represents a complete, soulful restoration of a historic 1950s building, transforming raw mountain character into an atmospheric retreat. Casalvia serves as a living canvas for our signature philosophy, bringing an eclectic, deeply personal approach to a space full of history.

From Historic House to Living Sanctuary

The Vision:

Located amidst the rugged beauty of the Aitana Mountains, Casalvia is a study in architectural restraint and intention. We chose this resilient 1950s building not just to restore its walls, but to create a physical sanctuary where high-end design meets the natural world.

The Atmosphere:

It is a space crafted around the balance of effort and ease. Here, the grit of the mountain trail seamlessly transitions into the restorative calm of an intentionally curated interior, a place where spaces feel inevitable.
