Hulya was born in Amsterdam into a family deeply rooted in hospitality, where historic canal houses and an early love of interior design informed her vision for home and life. Years spent living and traveling across Asia, restoring a farmhouse in Burgundy, and ultimately settling in Barcelona over 25 years ago gave her an inherently global outlook. These experiences endowed her with the ability to connect across cultures, value the nuance of home, and appreciate the diversity that enriches each client relationship. For Hulya, integrity and precision are non-negotiable, shaped by her rigorous training and a long-ingrained ethos of trust and openness.
Living in multiple countries and restoring historic properties has given Hulya a truly international perspective. One pivotal experience—managing a complex relocation and restoration in Burgundy—taught her the skills to adapt, manage risk, and build deep, lasting relationships in new environments. Settling in Barcelona was transformative, guiding her toward a life that values both local heritage and cosmopolitan connections. These life-changing chapters fostered not only professional competence but also a profound empathy for clients navigating significant transitions.
Hulya’s ideal day begins with coffee on a sunlit terrace in Sant Cugat, watching life unfold on Plaça d’Octàvia. She strolls through the historic Monestir de Sant Cugat, surrounded by medieval landmarks and vibrant boutiques. The day continues with the balance of Catalan heritage and international warmth that makes the region exceptional. Later, she finds tranquility among the green spaces or at the coast, where the Mediterranean glimmers under the sunset. These moments bring her a sense of belonging and reinforce the emotional depth and quality of life found in Barcelona, Sant Cugat, and the Costa Brava.

Her philosophy centers on transparency, holistic wellness, and a deep understanding of long-term market dynamics.

Hulya primarily advises international high-net-worth individuals, executives, and families seeking homes or investments in Spain, with a focus on Barcelona, Sant Cugat, and the Costa Brava.

Services extend well beyond sourcing; Hulya provides ongoing guidance through due diligence, design, negotiations, renovations, and seamless lifestyle integration. Her advisory model ensures clients achieve enduring value and clarity at every stage—serving as both strategic guide and trusted partner through transitions.
A favorite tip of Hulya’s is to explore early morning walks in Barcelona’s quiet neighborhoods or to linger over coffee in Sant Cugat’s piazzas to experience authentic local rhythms. Along the Costa Brava, the hidden coves and historic villages reveal an exclusive sense of place and timeless Mediterranean character—insider knowledge she shares with discerning clients.
