The work of Vicente Albertí is crucial, not so much because of his original works, a facet that in the pre-Romantic era did not enjoy particular importance, but because of his adaptations and translations of works by European authors of the 18th century such as Goldoni, Metastasio and Molière. Albertí, like few others, understood the theatre as a powerful path of culture and sophistication. Our protagonist Albertí acted to Europeanise the society of Enlightenment era Mahon.
Around the year 2000 Casa Albertí was acquired by a group of friends who shared different artistic disciplines: photography, design, architecture... and they reconfigured Casa Albertí, for the first time, as a guest house. They were following the legacy of our protagonist Albertí.
In 2018 it was acquired by a French couple with strong cultural ties and an affinity with the art world.
