About this property
Sitting in the heart of Olivella’s historic village, Cal Bargallo offers a refined rural escape with effortless access to both nature and culture. The The interiors strike a calm, contemporary tone with a minimalist palette of grey, white, and natural wood. The thoughtful design includes a spacious kitchen and dining area, a larder with generous cold storage, a lounge with log-burning stove and a dedicated office space. The five ensuite bedrooms cater to a range of group configurations, with additional beds and child-friendly options. The home stays cool thanks to an eco-conscious rooftop sprinkler system that uses recycled rainwater.
The outdoor areas are just as considered, offering a lawn shaded by palms, a barbecue setup, and a large shower for cooling off. Multiple access points from the house open into this peaceful garden, which looks out over rolling hills and the surrounding village. Just behind the property is a children's park and the village church, grounding Cal Bargallo in the local rhythm of Olivella.
Surrounded by the scenic Garraf Natural Park, this five-bedroom home offers character and comfort in a quiet yet well connected setting. Guests can hike or bike through forested trails, visit the local outdoor cafe, or enjoy live music on Sundays - all just steps from the front door.

The village of Olivella itself has a quiet, authentic atmosphere, with a church square, small playground, food truck serving tapas on weekends, and live music on Sundays that all bring the local community together.
Just 20 minutes away, Sitges is known for its lively seafront promenade, golden beaches, and buzzing restaurant scene. The town’s modernist architecture and independent boutiques give it a distinct personality, and its calendar is packed with festivals, film events, and art exhibitions throughout the year.
