LOCATION
The property is ideally located on the corners of the
Boulevard Saenz Peña and Calle San Martin, the heart of
Barranco;
Lima´s the bohemian neighborhood, two blocks away from the Pacific
coast and five minutes from Miraflores. The neighborhood, a
protected historic area is surrounded with historic houses, its own
main square and the famous Puente de los Suspiros (Lima’s Bridge of
Sighs). It has been populated with fashion boutiques, restaurants,
and is a walking distance from numerous art galleries.
HISTORY
Originally built in the style of the
Belle Époque, the mansion served as a seaside retreat
during the presidency of Augusto Leguia in the 1920s.
Its architectural features and flair capture the
celebratory spirit of Peru’s centennial, which permeated
life in the capital city throughout the era of its
construction. Famed French architect Claude Sahut,
lauded for his work remodeling portions of the
Government Palace, along with many of Lima’s main
avenues, parks, theaters and other public buildings and
spaces, was originally commissioned to design the
property as a summer retreat for the Garcia Bedoya
family. Construction was completed in 1914 and initially
showcased imported Italian marble and exotic woods,
along with an ornate façade, stratospherically high
ceilings featuring teatinas (a unique style of
skylight favored locally), open balconies and expansive
terraces.
