Stairs
We have noticed that there are quite a few houses where the upstairs are not connected internally to the downstairs. Often either the upstairs or the downstairs is rented out to tourists and is a self contained flat. The upstairs is usually connected to the bottom via external stairs.
Has any one had any experience connecting the upstairs and downstairs internally? If so were you happy with the result and what type of stairs did you put in i.e. spiral?

Avoid the spiral stairs. They are good looking but are pain in the ass when are used. The best are with 1 or 2 wings. If you send me some plans of the house with measures, I can propose you something. I am civil engineer

Re: Stairs
You will find it very hard to get permission for a spiral staircase in Spain
The reason given to me by the college of architects is "it's difficult to get dead people out" - says it all really!!!!

Re: Stairs
It might be possible to enclose the existing external stairs and make them an integral part of your house?
