Barcelona area villas

In our listings since 2001, 19 or so guests in 9 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, this huge farmhouse dating from the 17thC is on the same huge farm as Peus Curts and is situated just behind the owners house. Indoors I can highlight the unusually large (60m2) dining room and the spaciousness of the bedrooms. Outdoors, there is the new 8x5 meter COVERED AND HEATED SWIMMING POOL for year-round swimming at 29ºC, and the large covered BBQ area with outdoor fridge, food prep area, seating for over 20 guests, plus games for the kids such as ping-pong and babyfoot, all set on a high terrace with unspoiled views of the valley below. Need a big place? This might be the one, especially in the off-season due to the heated & covered pool. Free Wi-Fi internet.

Average price per person per night based on 19 guests = €18 in low-season & €23 in high-season.

In our listings since 2003, 17 or so guests in 8 bedrooms & 5 bathrooms, this is a good example of how you can get more house for your money if you are willing to rent further inland. Another large and beautifully restored farmhouse, originally dating from the 15th century, Can Pou has a feature many of you will like: this house was originally divided into 2 separate independent halves, so there are now 2 fully equipped kitchens, 2 elegant living/dining rooms, etc. So 2 or more families can be together when they want to, but also have their own private living space to retreat to. Situated on a huge property with great panoramic views (I counted 4 mountain ranges), a nice fenced-in 8x5 meter swimming pool, and an atmospheric indoor play room with ping-pong. Some houses have an exceptionally nice interior, and some houses have an exceptionally nice exterior, but a chosen few, like Can Pou, have both. Free Wi-Fi internet.

Average price per person per night based on 17 guests = €20 in low-season & €27 in high-season.

El Cosme is a large farmhouse (330m2), originally dating from the 18thC, restored in 2004 with rentals in mind, and sits on a huge property (150 hectares) in an idyllic spot with majestic views of 4 different pre-Pyrenean mountain ranges, a fenced 9 x 4.5 meter private swimming pool, and nice outdoor covered BBQ dining porch with seating for all & a second outdoor refrigerator, and there is a barn converted into a play room with ping pong and table football. I know this one is going to be much in demand! Now with free Wi-Fi internet.

I´m very happy to be offering this villa at its normal, far more competitive rates! Now with a new separate 7th en suite 60m2 studio with kitchenette and fireplace, available for a small supplement. Spa price = €2 per hour just to cover the electricity. Free Wi-Fi internet.

In our listings since 2005, up to 17 in 7 rooms, 6 bathrooms, situated on the same large farm about 500 meters down the hillside from Can Barracas, this venerable 340m2 old stone house with lovely arched galleries, barrel vaulted ceilings, beautiful wooden beams and woodwork throughout the house, is situated near a working farm. The owners have put in a lot of work and love and care into renovating this place, and the newest additions include the fenced-in 9x4.5m swimming pool, a nice outdoor BBQ and seating areas ... all for an excellent price ... but stay away if you don´t like having farm animals nearby. However, for those of you who want to expose your children to life on the farm (however cosseted) this is a perfect choice. It is such a beautiful house and such a low price! Free Wi-Fi.
