Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

This spectacular home is something really special. It sits in a prime position in the hills, so boasts incredible views of the surrounding forest, over the city, and out to sea. It has everything you could possibly wish for, and probably a fair amount you hadn’t thought of – it’s a home that’s set to impress even the most discerning travellers. If it’s relaxation you’re after, you’re in luck – there’s an outdoor Jacuzzi, a Finnish sauna, and a Turkish hammam, as well as a massage table. Add in the vibrant gardens with a pond and waterfall feature, and it’s easy to see why guests leave here feeling utterly blissed out. Magnificent panoramic views catch the eye whether you’re sipping cocktails on one of the balconies, drifting in the pool, or are just waking up. The villa feels a million miles away from the rest of the world, but in reality, it takes less than twenty minutes to reach the centre of Barcelona. The beach – Platja de la Barca Maria – is seven minutes away by car. Though you’re close enough to the city and the beach to easily explore, we’d be staying closer to home – there’s enough to keep everyone entertained.

Local guide


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. The dazzling array of architecture on display is like no other, from the modernist masterpieces of Antoni Gaudí and the winding alleyways in the Gothic Quarter to the visionary residential blocks...
