Rural Retreat
Have you ever dreamed of getting away for a few weeks and relax in a rural retreat? There’s something really special about being in a rural place; the privacy is one of my favorite things and not to mention the silence, that’s also often found in a rural retreat. But what’s not often found in rural retreats is the quality you’ll see in this house.
The architecture of this rural retreat is quite unexpected for a rural setting, not to mention the chic, yet relaxed interiors. The decor is a mix of natural materials with tailored elements and somehow, it works perfectly in this property.
Take a look and come dream with me. I wish I was packing my bags right now.
Rural Retreat
This photo describes what a rural retreat is all about!
Living Room
You need to go rustic just because your house is in the country. This living room is chic and stylish.
Decor
Beauty is created by details.
Crystal vase from Teklassic.
Vistas
Everything was perfectly chosen for this space. Notice the amazing views.
Dining Room
The neutral palette keeps everything calm and relaxing.
Bedroom
This bedroom feels very natural and comfortable. The side tables are from Ikea.
Sitting Area
A chaise is the perfect place to relax or read a book.
Pillow
The bedding is by Côté Soleil.
Bedroom
Stunning pool view and I also love the bedding.
Bathroom
I’d never pick this color for the tiles, but it somehow works in this space. The mirrors are by Carpintería Quero, sinks are from Duravit and the tub is from Hoesch.
Rustic Rust
I love this picture and this chair. I think it’s fabulous for a magazine, but I’ll be 100% honest: I don’t bring rust inside of my house. I like patina, but I simply cannot live with something rusting in my bathroom! 
Patio
Let spend the whole summer here? Outdoor furniture by Green Design.
Food
Everything would taste a little better in this patio.
Pool
How inviting is this pool, right? It’s even more appealing with that beautiful pool pavilion.
Pavilion
Take a look at the beautifully decorated pool pavilion. Fabulous!
What do you guys think? Did you like this home? I grew up with my grandfather having a farm and we used to go there every weekend to enjoy the peacefulness that one can only find in the country. I miss being in a place where you don’t see a street for miles. I miss those quiet days…
Do you enjoy spending time in the country or are you more of a city girl? I’m certainly both. I can’t just be in the country… I’m usually out of there, as soon my bug spray wears off!!!
I want to apologize for missing our post yesterday. I was going to start the post on Monday night when my husband and I saw a mouse in our kitchen! You have NO IDEA how I felt! No.. really!!! I haven’t met anyone that’s as scared of mice as much as I am. I freak out!!! As you can tell, I’m still freaking out!
My husband was preparing a snack for us and there was a mouse, running under our dishwasher. I IMMEDIATELY jumped on my chair and started to shake and scream! Very much like those cartoon ladies! The only difference was that I was holding a hockey stick instead of a broom. After all, we’re in Canada!!! LOL Besides, getting a hockey stick was my husband’s idea.
My husband and I stayed in front of that dishwasher for over two hours, making noise, being quiet, freaking out. I felt I was going to the war! Put my hair up and eventually, I was standing on my island! If you could see me…
The mouse? Well, it decided to disappear!
I woke up the kids and moved everybody into our bedroom, closed the door and put a towel under it. I didn’t sleep that night!
The next morning, I wake up to find those tiny awful little “things” all over… so, we went to Home Depot and bought everything we could find to catch the mouse! We put some glue patches all over the house and got out of here! When we came back, guess what we found??? The mouse!
I spent the rest of day cleaning and cleaning and cleaning every inch in this house. EVERY INCH! Every drawer, closet, dishes, cups… It felt we were moving. Everything was out and got cleaned.
We still have lots of these glue patches and some other stuff and I’m still freaked out.
I just hope this is the only and last one. The kids don’t need any “pets” right now!!!

Wow! I would give anything to be in this rural retreat right now! Talk about relaxing and everything is so pretty! I absolutely love the way it is decorated! Thanks for sharing this!
I love this house, tipical spanish villa. The arquitecture is beatiful.
Poor mousse!!!! hahaha, I think he was more scared than you and so disappeared…

This is a gorgeous home and has some wonderful comfy things about in it. What a horrific story about the mouse. I hate mice, too. My husband feels the same . It would be a terrible day for us if we found a mouse in our home.
WOW!!!!!! This is one spectacular home. I don’t think there is a single thing I would change, its perfect. Th views and exterior is just amazing, who would ever need to leave home! Even READING about your mouse made me put my feet up:) You are talking to someone who might be the most afraid person in the world of mice or anything that moves for that matter!!!!!! So sorry, I feel for you.
Oh Luciane… I totally feel your pain!! I had a mouse a few months ago… you need to read my blog post about it here… http://sweetchaoshome.blogspot.com/2012/02/uninvited-guests.html
Just so you know you’re not alone
Now, for this rural retreat… the outdoor spaces and gorgeous views are all I would need. Beautiful!
Beautiful home. You are so funny…we had a squirrel in our mountain condo attic…it left droppings in the adjacent pantry….ick. So I know what you mean about cleaning everything in sight!
That’s a funny image you put in my brain with the hockey stick to protect you from the mouse! LOL! I’m used to mice – no biggie – but if I ever found a snake in my house, I think I might drop dead from mortification!
I will take a mouse over a snake any day of the week. I had a snake in my dishwasher a couple of years ago and I have never been the same. There is NO redeeming quality to a snake … yukky!
Love the rural retreat!! I am guessing that with it being so rural, it might come with a few critters. However with that patio, I think I could handle just about anything.
Wow you are traumatized….ok I grew up on a farm and sorry to tell you this but 1 mouse means many….call a pest company and they will set up “stations” outside and you will never see another mouse in your house…somewhere there is a very very tiny hole they are getting in and always will if you don’t take care of them outside…we have the pest company come quartlery and have never see hide nor hair of them since and I have peace of mind….btw as always love your beautiful post sweet lady
Oh my kindred mouse spirit friend!
We have had mice this week too! I knew there was one and no one would believe me. Finally my husband put a trap down while I was away and ended up catching Mickey and his friends! Silly dryer vent was their revolving door. >:-{
This is my absolute dream house, imagine having your Christmas with all your family in a place like that! It’s so stylish and makes great use of the outdoor space. Thanks for sharing it!
