When the hosts were restoring their 19th-century Catalan estate, they wanted to create a place that was rich in space, comfort and traditional Spanish culture. And this charming bungalow, sitting in the garden of the property truly embodies their vision. With views across the valley of La Torre de Claramunt, this private space is filled with the natural vitality of its surroundings. And as soon as you arrive, you’ll want to slow down and admire the authenticity of this home. From preparing your morning coffee in the kitchen to sitting on the terrace, this is the kind of space that makes you want to stay. Spend a day by the swimming pool or explore the historic countryside surrounding this home. Wind your way through the stunning Penedès wine region or drive up into the mountains of Montserrat – only thirty–minutes away. As the sun sets across the valley, the gardens of this home make the perfect setting to retreat and relax. Pour a glass of local wine and savour the magic of the moment.

About Catalonia
Catalonia is home to the Costa Brava coastline, the Pyrenees Mountains, and the cultural jewel that is Barcelona. It’s a region rich in history and is the birthplace of Dalí, Gaudi, and the Barca football club. Soak up the culture in Barcelona and Girona before hitting the coast – the Cap de Begur coves are a must-see, as is the picture-perfect town of Cadaqués, which is known for its white...

Visit the impossible view at Tibidabo
The place doesn't even look real when you see the photos. The fantastical church of Sagrat Cor in the mountains is its greatest hit, but we recommend you take the whole day to explore the mountain.
Go see a football match at Camp Nou
The stadium of Camp Nou has been the home stadium of FC Barcelona since its completion in 1957. It's always got great energy and seeing the team play on their home turf is an absolute treat.
Taste some Catalan natural wines at Bar Salvatge
This quirky little wine bar specializes in natural wines from Catalunya straight from the barrel. Don't forget to grab a bite to eat too - their tapas is truly something else.
Get yourself to Parking Pizza
Barcelona's best pizzas in an old car-park...what's not to love!
Catch an original language film at Cines Verde
Brush up on your Spanish, sit back, relax and soak up some culture at this local cinema showing films in their original language (not dubbed).
Behold the incredible interior of Casa Sayrach
One of the last modernista buildings in Barcelona stands imposingly on the Avinguda Diagonal, and encapsulates everything the masters of the style had achieved in Barcelona.
Dine in style at Paco Meralgo
This terrific restaurant is best known for its top-notch wine, and excellent stews. Be sure to try their “montaditos”, freshly made and utterly delicious. Stylish setting too.
