The former sleeping quarters of the Marquesa de Gironella, this characterful apartment oozes old-world charm. We can't get enough of the sky-high beamed ceilings or the huge windows – they truly are as impressive as they look – nor can we take our eyes off those views. Step out onto the balconies (there are three of them) and admire the rolling valley and the estate's verdant garden. One balcony even has a quaint bistro-style table – whether you're enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning breeze or trying the regional wine gifted by your lovely hosts, it's the ideal spot to relax in the Spanish rays. And speaking of the sun, all of the estate runs on sustainable sources like solar panels, which provide electricity, hot water, and underfloor heating. What we love most, however, are the impressive grounds. Enjoy an afternoon dip in the pool, play a game of table tennis, or use a mountain bike and explore the trails leading into the Catalan countryside. The sleepy medieval village centre of La Torre de Claramunt is just around the corner – there you’ll find a few local eateries, a delicious bakery and an 11th-century castle. It's hard to believe that this traditional town is only a fifty-minute drive from Barcelona's city centre – we think it's pretty perfect for those craving a laid-back stay in the heart of Catalonia.

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.
Taste some Catalan natural wines at Bar Salvatge
This quirky little wine bar specializes in natural wines from Catalunya straight from the barrel. Don't forget to grab a bite to eat too - their tapas is truly something else.
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.
Get yourself to Parking Pizza
Barcelona's best pizzas in an old car-park...what's not to love!
Visit an Industrial Park by Sants Estacion
Very nice park but behind Sants Estacion, with a great selection of swings and games for kids.
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!
Behold the incredible interior of Casa Sayrach
One of the last modernista buildings in Barcelona stands imposingly on the Avinguda Diagonal, and encapsulates everything the masters of the style had achieved in Barcelona.
Shop like the locals at Hostafrancs market
One of the oldest markets in Barcelona where you can find fresh goods from neighbouring villages and get a glimpse of trading traditions from over a century ago.
