Villa in Catalonia near Barcelona (#39140)

Description of the Barcelona vacation villa rental

The house which is an authentic Catalan limestone villa, modernised with respect for the original style, is situated in the Bergueda region, where the Llobregat-river winds its way from the mountains down towards Barcelona. The house provides a perfect base for relaxation. Read a book, take a swim in the pool and enjoy the hot summer nights on the terrace with a glass.

This large, beautiful farmhouse stands alone on a hill, surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. It is a paradise for children, who can observe the grazing cows, run around the lush, green fields, splash about in the pool or play on the playground. The house is inviting and comfortably furnished, thanks in part to a recent

The swimming pool (8 x 4m) is surrounded by a large, grassy area and deck chairs and lies approximately 30m from the house. In addition, there is a covered porch furnished with a long table and a BBQ/grill, a playground and a recreation room with a ping-pong table. The closest neighbours are approximately 1km away, and the house looks out across a wonderfully pristine and picturesque landscape. This is an idyllic option for large groups or families, who wish to spend a relaxing time in an incredibly peaceful place.
The last 2km of road leading up to the house aren't in the best condition and can therefore prove to be a bit of a driving challenge.


The landscape at the entrance to the Pyrenees is dominated by small rivers, hills, fields and forests, which provides excellent conditions for a variety of sports and outdoor activities, such as hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, angling, canoeing, river crafting or perhaps a visit to the owners farm.

Furthermore the central location in Catalonia makes every corner of province accessible in one-day excursions. From the Dali-museum in the north, the Costa Brava coastline and Barcelona in the south and further south Tarragon with its amphitheatre and Universal Studios amusement park for the kids. A generous and cosy region, with true cultural, gastronomical, artistic, historical, traditional and legendary treasures. Also a region for the playful who loves sport activities.
