Casa Bonet is a work of the municipality of Salou, located in Tarragonès, and is included in the Inventari del Patrimoni Arquitectònic de Catalunya. It was built by the Reus architect Domènec Sugranyes. The house is one of the most interesting buildings in Salou, a tourist town since the beginning of the 20th century.
It was one of the first chalets built before the beach on garden lands. The owner was the Reus entrepreneur Ciríac Bonet. The entire building and its surroundings are of good workmanship, especially of great aesthetic interest. The solutions used for the construction of doors and windows are notable, adorned with brightly colored window panes.
The entrance gate to the house is of beautiful artistic ironwork. The house has a ground floor, a noble floor, another floor above, and a place for garages. At the main angle, there is a ceramic sundial with the legend 'take advantage of the time that passes and does not return'. In the garden, there is a gazebo with a trencadís dome.
The interior was embellished with murals by Agustí Ferrer that evoke the departure of Jaume I from the beach of Salou to the conquest of Mallorca. The covering of the well on the property, which had a covering of blue and white mosaic pieces, has disappeared.
