L’Ovella Negra Mountain Lodge

Architecture Rustic reborn

A mountain lodge in the truest sense, L’Ovella Negra is a stone, wood, and concrete hideaway framed by a valley.

Built in the early 2000s, this rustic lodge was home to tractors and hay until its renovation in 2017, when Design Hotels Original Prisca Llagostera personally chalked out divisions on the floor for the interior walls that were added. Dark wooden shutters and doors, stone walls, and the occasional concrete floor characterize the property, creating an aesthetic of pared-back mountain living.

Inspiration comes from the outside in, with natural materials setting the scene for inviting spaces and objets d’art.

Wood abounds inside—old floors, walls, and chairs—creating a natural-hued canvas for a curation of design pieces, from brass candlesticks to velvet sofas. A hanging chimney epitomizes the property’s aesthetic—bucolic and sleek—while iron and concrete pillars add texture. Leather chairs are found in communal areas, and a central fireplace acts as the property’s warm heart.
