This old house began its journey as a recreational house around 1910 when the Freixedas family bought it for the summer and renovated it, dedicating the later terraces to creating a lush romantic garden with fountains and gazebos for walking and resting. At the end of the 1920s, the property was bought by the businessman and patron Victor Riu, from whom it takes its name today, and commissioned the project to the Noucentist architect Enric Catà i Catà, one of those responsible for the Palau Nacional de Montjuic, who in turn commissioned the sgraffito of the façades to the stucco artist Ferran Serra i Sala, famous at that time for his interventions in important buildings in nearby Barcelona, such as the Casa de la Seda. In the late 1970s, the property passed into the hands of the current owners who created an impressive "Italian" garden with walkways, pergolas and fountains.
