This boho-luxe villa sits in the peaceful hills just above the coastal town of Sitges. It’s a fifteen-minute drive into Sitges, where you’ll find a promenade lined with grand mansions and sweeping sandy beaches. It’s often considered the Saint Tropez of Spain. For a cultural day in the city, take a day trip to Barcelona which is just under an hour’s drive away. There’s plenty of space for a group to spread out, across the main house and an additional garden bungalow, all with suite-sized bedrooms. The interior is all Moroccan-style charm and rusticana, with a vaulted TV room lined with squashy sofas and mosaic tiles in the bedrooms. It’s not often we highlight a bathroom, but the master with its built-in soaking tub, oodles of space and wall of windows looking out over the rolling hills is more than worth a mention. There are traditional touches throughout – wood-beamed ceilings and a huge old fireplace in the main lounge. Outside is where the magic happens. A Roman-style swimming pool offers respite from the sun on hot days and there’s a shaded pool house with sofas to recline on post-swim. Perhaps enjoy a soak in the sunken hot tub. Dotted around the terraces you’ll find loggias for dining in the shade, loungers galore and lots of outdoor seating nooks. The only decision to make is which spot to enjoy a sundowner with that beautiful country view all the way to the sea.
