The Spanish Ranch

  • 16 guests

  • 5 bedrooms

  • 3.5 bathrooms

  • sq/ft

Located less than an hour east of Barcelona on the Spanish coast, this ranch-style villa with its sprawling garden offers the perfect base for a family or group of friends hoping to enjoy a mix of relaxation and city exploration. Inside, you’ll find the villa both bright and social, its open-plan living and dining room with traditional tiled floors, brick fireplace, and ample comfortable seating making it an ideal space to gather for family style meals and an evening cocktail. Stepping outside, it’s hard to believe you’re just a short trip away from one of the world’s most famously vibrant cities. After all, in how many places can you spend your day sunbathing on a manicured lawn, enjoying a game of tennis on your own private clay court, cooling off in the pool then slipping into town for extravagant entertainment and even better food and wine? For those after a little more fun-in-the-sun, head north towards the Costa Brava, where you’ll discover immaculate beaches, hidden swimming holes, and even more outstanding restaurants serving up everything from local fisherman’s stew to the most cutting-edge molecular gastronomy.
