Catalonia village life awaits at this sublime apartment housed in a 450-year-old Masia residence in rural Barcelona. Surrounded by crumbling castles, verdant woodlands, and hidden waterfalls, settings don't get much more idyllic. With walking and cycling pathways leading straight from your door, you can dive right in to it all. Or jump in the car for a city fix in Barcelona or beach day at Sitges – both are just an hour's drive away. Though you may find all you need back at home in this former farmhouse, expertly restored by its owners to create seven luxurious apartments. Discover a shared poolside and bubbly Jacuzzi within its beautifully landscaped terraces – the perfect spot for soaking up the surrounding woodlands, castle views and Catalonia sunshine. And luckily for you, you'll have the same vistas upstairs inside this stylish apartment, perched in the rafters of the residence's attic. Sunny mornings call for lingering coffees on the balcony before a lazy breakfast in the light-filled living area – there's everything you need to rustle up a meal in the well-equipped kitchen. And you can always sneak back to the king-sized bed with a second coffee – those views will be right there...
