Romanticism and loneliness

Sleeping with the immensity of the sea at your feet and under the shelter of the stars, in an isolated, solitary place that invites reflection and awakens romance. Few places have the ability to bring together so many characteristics, and lighthouses are one of them.

And these sites from which ships were once guided can be converted into dream tourist accommodations. That's what they've done at PF1 Interior Design Studio, who have shaped the first establishment of these characteristics in Spain.

This project, driven by the Eirobra Society, is part of the "Lighthouses of Spain" project, launched by Puertos del Estado (Spanish State Ports) to promote the utilization of these disused facilities.

The Tourist accommodation Isla Pancha it is located in the vicinity of Ribadeo, Lugo, and sits on a 19th-century lighthouse which is also one of the most iconic on the Galician coast.

Therefore, perhaps one of the most complex challenges for the studio has been to preserve its solitary and reflective essence while transforming it into a place capable of conveying warmth, comfort, and calm.

The project has distributed the lighthouse into two tourist apartments of 40 m².² each one includes an individual garden, double bedroom, living room, open-plan kitchen, and a bathroom equipped with a sink New Toulouse from Bathco painted by the artists of Bathco Atelier who depicted the lighthouse.

Both rooms share access to the old lantern room, located in the center of the structure and accessed by the original wrought-iron staircase. From this position, at the highest point of the lighthouse and with the sound of seagulls and the sea fading behind, the visitor's sensation is difficult to describe.
