Faulkner Design Group collaboration

News 23 September, 2022 2 Comments

A special mention is due to Adrienne Faulkner of Faulkner Design Group for the contribution she made to this exciting project. Joseph Shortell invited Adrienne, whose firm, located in Dallas, Texas, turns 31 this year, to collaborate in the design and reformation of Aqua Et Oleum.

Adrienne made several site visits before and during the pandemic and, together with Joseph, designed the layout and interiors of the mill and its eight suites. She also traveled to Mexico the year before completion to visit Shortell Design’s workshops, where she designed the custom-built furnishings for all the rooms.

Ms. Faulkner also assisted immensely in the layout of the landscaping along with the pool areas. She also introduced the Aqua et Oleum team to Porcelanosa of Castellon, Spain, who provided much of the flooring and wall covering materials in the mill and the rooms, giving the project that extra special touch.

We are grateful for Adrienne’s fantastic job and contribution and all the experience that comes after 31 years in the industry. No wonder her company ranked 31 in Interior Design’s top 100 firms in the USA.

A big favorite!

We discovered an authentic wonder in Sierra de Gata, a small corner of paradise all about its heritage and the environment. We felt a genuine soul based on serenity, the taste of creation, and the care given to the welcome. Joseph has a presence that honors you with his humanity. Chef Ruben has the alchemy that transforms the products grown on the site into delicacies, with a smile that makes you feel like you are part of his family. A big favorite!

We will definitely be back!

A small boutique hotel that has just opened in the Sierra de Gata area. The place is perfect to spend a few days of absolute relaxation in the middle of nature... decorated with exquisite taste (large, comfortable, beautiful rooms with all the facilities) and luxury attention from all the staff. We will be back!

Simply spectacular.

Aqua et Oleum is a magical place. A hotel built with great care and attention to detail. In the middle of nature, next to a stream, under the gaze of a castle, is this ideal place to rest, disconnect and recharge your energy. We spent some incredible days there. Simply spectacular. Thank you for everything.

Impressive.

The hackneyed phrase "we want you to feel at home" was made true.
