 THE SURROUNDINGS:
The environment of Vilafranca, the Penedes is very beautiful, and called the Tuscany of Spain in the guidebooks. From the house and garden, on the southern side the forest “Torre Foix” with the castle of Sant Marti and a “hermita” on the west side, both lit by night can be seen. The Penedes is a beautiful area for hiking, biking or wine tasting in one of the hundreds of small wineries of the region. |
 Quiet but well connected: Small local shops are available in Sant Marti where you can bike to (3 kms). Vilafranca has 3 cinemas, a big outdoor market every Saturday, a train station with trains to Barcelona every 15 minutes and about 15 large supermarkets. There is a lot to see and do in the area, please see our special section on activities.
 We do recommend you bring a car: it is about 6 minutes to Vilafranca, 45 to Barcelona and 40 to Tarragona. We have a car for rent as well. The house is not on an isolated location: other Masia´s are visible but sufficiently far away not to interfere with your privacy but still give you the feeling you are not totally alone.
What we like about this house is its location in a beautiful area away from city noises but 5 cities reachable within 45 minutes to go for dinner, theater or movies. The airports of Barcelona and Tarragona are both about 35 minutes away. We have bikes available for rent and can help you to organize your bicycle tour to the different wineries in the region.
