Whitewashed arches frame endless views of sea and sky at Villa California I, where the breeze drifts gently through open-plan spaces and the horizon stretches far beyond the Mediterranean. Perched on a hillside just outside the village of Canyelles, this bright and breezy villa has been thoughtfully reimagined for easy-going, sun-filled family holidays. Inside, crisp white interiors, tiled floors and simple, stylish furnishings create a calming atmosphere, with open living areas that flow naturally onto the shaded terrace and poolside garden.
The house sleeps up to twelve adults and two children across six bedrooms and a garden suite, making it ideal for large groups. The kitchen is sleek and modern, the living areas spacious, and almost every room makes the most of the surrounding views.
Outside, the setting is all about alfresco living, from the glassy turquoise pool and low-slung loungers to the built-in barbecue and long covered dining table. With the coast and Sitges town just a short drive away, it’s a peaceful base with plenty of character and charm.
Villa California I enjoys a peaceful, elevated setting just five minutes’ drive from the village of Canyelles, where you’ll find local cafes, a supermarket and a weekend market brimming with Catalan produce and artisanal finds. The surrounding area offers a mix of rural paths and pine forest trails, perfect for walks or bike rides, including a scenic route up to the ancient Olerdola castle ruins.
Families can enjoy horse riding nearby, while the beaches, boutiques and buzzing energy of Sitges and Vilanova are just a twenty-minute drive. The area is part of the Garraf region, known for its hilltop vineyards, sun-drenched coastline, and easy access to Barcelona, which lies less than an hour away by car.
A day trip to Barcelona is a must. Explore highlights such as the Sagrada Família, stroll along La Rambla, and visit the atmospheric streets of the Gothic Quarter, all in one rewarding day. You'll have plenty of time to enjoy tapas, visit a local market, or relax by the waterfront at Barceloneta. Barcelona offers a memorable mix of history, architecture and Mediterranean charm that feels both exciting and effortless.
Whether you're heading to the beach, hiking in the hills, or exploring Catalonia’s rich heritage, Villa California I is ideally placed.
