Who made Casa Nereta
In 1994 — Romy (Painter) and her late husband Joan, (a sculptor) and loved man in Cadaqués, also the son of the painter Joan Ponç.
Despite from both being artists themselves thought of creating a different concept of hotel, and decided to build it with the most amazing process. Romy who had before remodeled a few houses as an architect, started to create what Casa Nereta is today.
Following the rules of Rudolf Steiner, another reason for… so many round corners in the house and everything having a harmonious shape,
You can appreciate Romy’s design details in every corner like the wall lamps in the corridors, pillars and vaults in the main salon and the solid melis pine wood structures throughout the hotel, like the desks in the rooms.
There are never ending details, for example, the stones in the stairs come from Italy as well as the Gaudínesque door knobs.
Another secret for the well-being inside the house are the stones they placed under the floors with calming properties to balance the vibrating pizarra stone so present in Cadaqués so it might be the key to a restful night sleep.
In the penthouse all the wooden floors have been build over cork and you can see even more the wooden details, marble bathrooms, not to mention the spherical panoramic terrace where you can see all the village.
In 2016 — Romy & now her son James (Co-Founder, Concept creator and Manager) decided to open this beautiful hotel both deciding to hire Andrea Conti & Isa Cert from the Barcelona based interior design studio Conti, Cert and they connected perfectly with the energy of the house, bringing to life an essential part of the project that it is today…
Selecting iconic lamps from SANTA&COLE that you’ll find in every room and space. Marset, Nobushi… In-house designed furniture, added pieces from Marc Morro from AOO in common areas and rooms like the night tables, among others.
Making the common areas be so beautifully put together that we have been featured in AD, Vogue, Elle, Bazaar, Monocle, Condé Nast Traveller, CC Magazine, Milk Decoration Magazine, Santa & Cole Projects and many blogs...
Alejandra Coll did the landscaping in 2016 bringing her special touch, we try to maintain it every year with a lot of green in the gardens and terraces.
Before Casa Nereta
This was the house of painter Joan Ponç(1927-1984), Ponç was a surrealist painter and member of the avant-garde movement Dau al Set. He bought this house in the late 50’s with his first wife Roser and son Joan. Turning it his private house-studio where he painted some of his most acclaimed pieces using a unique technique he is famous for. His work is and has been exhibit in some of the best museums and galleries in New York, Barcelona, Madrid, São Paulo, Paris, Frankfurt…etc. Throughout the years.
In an effort to revive his image and incredible trajectory, James and Romy have decided to create the Joan Ponç Foundation in 2024-2025 to continue to promote the legacy this artist have left behind through collaborations, books and exhibiting his magnificent work in distinct museums creating an opportunity so younger generations can appreciate and learn from this irremplazable artist and his extraordinary work.
