While the Catalan capital of Barcelona is known for drawing the crowds, this authentic region also has plenty to offer those who seek a more peaceful lifestyle. Just a one-hour drive west of the city, the historic village of La Torre de Clarmunt is an exceptional choice for a relaxed, rural vibe. Sights like the 11th-century Castell, a four-minute walk from this apartment, are well worth seeing – but you’ve got everything you need and more at home. You’ll be pampered as soon as you arrive, with a generous hamper including local wine, olive oil, and fruit juice to quench your thirst. And your hosts can offer all sorts of activities from board games, to mountain bikes for exploring the countryside. But before you head off on an adventure, unpack your luggage in your garden apartment. Guests are welcomed by beautifully high ceilings in a bright living space. Original features such as timber beams are a nod to its historic past – this 1901 home was built by the Marqués de Gironella. We love the understated furniture and neutral colour scheme, creating a zen environment that feels calm and fresh. But with its own private terrace where you can serve up fresh pastries for brunch, you might be spending a lot of time outside after all.

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.

Barcelona's best pizzas in an old car-park...what's not to love!
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.
Come and read a book with a coffee at Petit à Petit cafe
Cosy cafe with a nice chilled atmosphere - lots of people reading and working at laptops.
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.
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.
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).
Dine in style at Paco Meralgo
This terrific restaurant is best known for its top-notch wine, and excellent stews. Be sure to try their “montaditos”, freshly made and utterly delicious. Stylish setting too.
