Situated on the outskirts of Sitges, this traditional Spanish home is exactly what holidays in Catalonia are all about. From the cool terracotta tiles to the built-in fireplace, this charming homestay is more 18th-century farmhouse than 21st-century holiday home, which makes perfect sense considering this gorgeous resort was once an industrial wine farm in the heart of the Penedes wine region. Honour the property’s rich history with a bottle of vino in the courtyard or settle into a sun lounger and lose yourself in a good book from the living room bookshelf. If you can bear to give up your place by the pool, there’s plenty to see and do in the local area. From medieval castles to gorgeous hiking trails, there’s no shortage of attractions here – not to mention, Barcelona’s just thirty-five minutes away by car so there’s no risk of running out of famous landmarks to discover. When you get home, treat your entourage to a delicious barbecue in the back garden then call it a night – with black-out blinds in both bedrooms, you can almost guarantee that a great night’s sleep awaits.
