Masia guesthouse in the heart of Cava Country

This friendly family-run "Masia" is located the Pened?s wine region, famous world-wide for its sparkling Cava. Just south of Barcelona and inland of the sophisticated resort of Sitges, the guesthouse enjoys a privileged position with stunning views of the rolling landscape from its position high on the hill.

An ideal base for a romantic get-away, wine tour or cycling trip, the Pened?s region is full of interesting sights, castles, monasteries and of course many world-class wineries that wait to be discovered. The Montserrat mountains offer unique vistas and the beautiful white beaches of sunny Sitges are just nearby. Tarragona with its World Heritage Roman remains is also within easy reach.

But you may be tempted to just take it easy relax inside the Masia walls beside the swimming pool or in the jacuzzi, soak in the morning sun during breakfast on the terrace, or snuggle on the sofa near the open fire place. The friendly, enthusiastic German owners, who speak perfect English will go out of their way to make sure you get the most out of your stay here.

Torrelles del Foix, Catalonia

Set amongst vineyards the small unassuming village of Torrelles de Foix makes an attractive tranquil base for exploring the Penedés region and perhaps further afield. The town itself has a couple of bars (serving food), a small supermarket and a municipal pool, there’s a place to rent bikes and plenty of good walks direct from the village. Nearby San Marti Sarroca (it’s possible to walk there along footpaths) is a veritable culinary hotspot with eight restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets.
All the major Cava producers are nearby along with many ‘boutique’ style bodegas, which also produce some excellent reds and whites. The nerve centre for the region, the market town of Vilafranca del Penedés, is only 14 km away.
Within half an hour’s drive you can find yourself on the lovely beaches of the Costa de Garraf, including the beautiful town of Sitges or the less well known, low key Altafulla, or in the famous monastery of Montserrat. An hour’s journey will take you to Barcelona (also accessed by train from Vilafranca), or to Tarragona, a lively Mediterranean city recognized as a heritage site due to its wealth of Roman ruins.
