Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
The age-old debate of city versus country is null and void at this stunning home. Located on the edge of the 8,000-hectare Serra de Collserola Natural Park, this spectacular villa offers scenic cycling, fantastic birdwatching and ancient history right on your doorstep, while the bohemian beachside vibes of Barcelona are only twenty-five minutes away. Being so close to a city that's so well known for its architecture, it's only fitting that this home should be a bit of a beauty when it comes to design. Set over two floors, the exterior is clad in wood to blend in with the natural surroundings, while the open-plan interior offers almost 360-degree access to the outdoors. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors open onto the expansive terrace, where you'll find plenty of seating and an inviting pool perfect for cooling off over the summer months. Away from the home, you'll find a host of activities on offer, including golf, tennis, horse riding and hiking trails. Meanwhile, the town of Sant Cugat del Vallès – with its theatres, quirky museums (including one dedicated to Marilyn Monroe) and vast antique market – is just 6km away and well worth exploring. What's more, from here you can take the Ferrocariles Catalanes into downtown Barcelona, a twenty-minute train ride away.

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...

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.
Have a wander through Gaudí's Park Güell
This spectacular park, designed by Antoni Gaudí, is located in the upper part of Barcelona — take some time to ??appreciate the wonderful mosaics and magnificent views of the city.
Shop for fresh ingredients at Mercat de Lesseps
This Gracia-based market serves the freshest ingredients brought in from nearby villages. You can also have breakfast or tapas at one of its many stalls.
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.
Take a stroll through Jardins de Bacardí
This small park is perfect for a stroll and has lots of stuff to do – from playgrounds to ping pong tables and a skating ring, its a great place to spend an afternoon.
Bunkers del Carmel
The Carmel Bunkers are a viewpoint from which you can see the entire city of Barcelona. It's a great day trip!
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).
Try some Catalan food at Taverna El Glop
This understated restaurant might not look like much, but they have an excellent menu with great local ingredients. These guys are passionate about their dishes, and you will be too.
Taste some authentic Catalan food at Cachitos Diagonal
Great Catalan food with an avant-garde twist. The food is served quickly and is well priced. Make sure to leave room for dessert.
