Sitting high on a hill in the Catalonian countryside, just 25 kilometres from Barcelona, gorgeous views are a given from this contemporary villa. Enjoy the forest and mountain vistas from the many vantage points, whether that’s the infinity pool or the shady hammock. Some of the interiors are a little dated, but we think it adds a touch of homeliness. Plus, we imagine your attention will be on the outdoor space. It isn’t just the setting that makes this home such a good find – the extra add-ons provide a real sense of luxury. Ask your host to arrange fun-filled paella nights, flamenco lessons, wine-tasting sessions, relaxing massages, and more.

  • No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.
  • Hosts we know – With track records of high-quality hosting.
  • Rated ‘Excellent’ on Trustpilot – Exceptional service before, during and after your stay.

About Barcelona

Although there’s no disputing that Barcelona is a truly global city, it’s still a destination that’s fiercely proud of its local culture and heritage. As you wander the streets, you’ll quickly come to see why this is the case.
