Just one hour west of the bustling metropolis of Barcelona, La Torre de Clarmunt is a medieval village with traditional, rural charm. With its striking 11th-century Castell (four minutes on foot from your front door) and quaint streets of bakeries, casual local restaurants, and bars, you might find this a welcome contrast from the Catalan capital. Your apartment also has a bit of history itself – formerly the sleeping quarters of the Marqués de Gironella, old-world elegance and luxe is an important aspect of your stay. Upon arrival, your hosts provide a generous welcome basket with regional wine, fresh juice, and olive oil to get you started making ‘pa amb tomàquet’ in the kitchen. Serve up on the dining table, where a rustic wooden lighting feature matches the chunky timber beams of the high ceilings. We love how bright and airy the space feels, helped along the way by three balconettes where you can perch with a glass of the aforementioned wine in hand. Check out the views of the lush valley, but also the communal swimming pool, gardens, playground, and table tennis spot below – not too shabby for a countryside escape.

Local guide
About Catalonia
Catalonia is home to the Costa Brava coastline, the Pyrenees Mountains, and the cultural jewel that is Barcelona. It’s a region rich in history and is the birthplace of Dalí, Gaudi, and the Barca football club. Soak up the culture in Barcelona and Girona before hitting the coast – the Cap de Begur coves are a must-see, as is the picture-perfect town of Cadaqués, which is known for its white...

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.
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.
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.
Choose your dinner at La Paradetta
La Paradetta has excellent fresh seafood, which you can see for yourself as it's modelled to look like a market.
Drool over scrumptious cheeseburgers at Chivuo's
A low-key 'slow street food' place with great burgers and a great range of craft beers.
Visit an Industrial Park by Sants Estacion
Very nice park but behind Sants Estacion, with a great selection of swings and games for kids.
Get yourself to Parking Pizza
Barcelona's best pizzas in an old car-park...what's not to love!
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).
Satisfy your craving for Italian food at Brera
Brera is a cosy, family-owned place that has stayed true to its origins and serves up some of the best pasta in Barcelona.
