About this property
Situated amid the Garraf National Park, this exclusive rural property offers a memorable experience with beautiful grounds and spectacular views that stretch across the Catalan countryside. An impressive eleven-bedroom suites accommodate up to 25 guests, whilst the historic charm and meticulous design create a truly luxurious setting where you can relax, unwind and enjoy an indulgent escape with family and friends.
Dating back to the 16th century, El Gran Garraf is a beautiful country home that enjoys a secluded position surrounded by lush trees and agricultural land. Converted from a vineyard building, the house is imbued with character, with charming timber beams and exposed stone walls that add texture throughout. Thoughtfully designed, the interior spaces are warm and inviting, with intelligent furnishings and vibrant decor that offer a sense of home away from home. Three different living rooms offer ample room to spread out, and roaring open fires create the perfect cosy setting during the cooler months. A long kitchen and dining area sits to the front of the house, with a large central island and all the necessary meal preparation equipment. A series of stone arches frame views of the garden, offering a seamless indoor-outdoor flow so you can sit around the dining table while enjoying a light, natural breeze. Inside, the large wooden dining table has ample room for all, or why not sit out on the terrace, soaking up the sun and sharing entertaining evenings beneath the stars?
The terrace offers a paradisal setting, surrounded by leafy trees and a verdant landscape. A generous swimming pool occupies the centre, perfect for enjoying a refreshing swim, while loungers and armchairs invite you to dry off beneath the warm sun. Sit out with a coffee in the morning and soak up the views, or simply wander through the well-kept garden and admire the tranquil setting.
Arranged over two levels,11 magnificent bedroom suites offer guests plenty of space and comfort. Carefully decorated, each room is full of character, with colourful rugs, quirky ceramics and ornate lighting that create a unique atmosphere. All the rooms enjoy beautiful ensuite bathrooms with colourful Moroccan floors, rainwater showers and remarkable marble bathtubs that invite you to soak at the end of the day and enjoy a thoroughly indulgent experience.
And to really help you enjoy your stay at El Gran Garraf, guests have access to an open bar stocked with bottles! Please see our T&Cs for more information or get in touch with us to know more.
Sitting in the Catalan countryside, El Gran Garraf enjoys an idyllic setting just moments from the national park. Moments away, an extensive network of tracks and trails invite guests to head out and explore the undulating landscape and limestone hills, whilst, with the nearest beaches just a short drive away, there is plenty of opportunity to enjoy the sunny Mediterranean coast.
Spread over several thousand hectares, the park is unique, with deep gorges and hidden caves waiting to be discovered, or head into the forest to wander beneath the towering oaks and fragrant Aleppo pines. Olivella, a charming hillside village, is located within walking distance of the house and is a popular starting point for many hikes. A great circular route leads from here up to the remains of the ancient Castell Vell, from which you will be rewarded with spectacular views stretching down to the coast and across to Montserrat and the Pyrenees.
A short drive brings you to the coast and the historic town of Sitges, where the lively waterfront and creative culture offer plenty to explore. To the north of the old town, the Port de Sitges is an essential landmark on the Catalan coast, where you can stroll along the promenade, admiring beautiful yachts and fishing boats, or stop off for lunch at one of the waterside restaurants to enjoy a delicious plate of fresh seafood. An excellent option for sampling typical regional cuisine is La Taberna del Puerto, which serves a classic menu of local produce with favourites such as paella or braised rice with spider crab. There is little left of the Old Town, but you can wander through the fisherman's quarter to discover the charming whitewashed houses with their ornate blue trim and stop to admire the splendid Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla Church. From the town, an attractive esplanade stretches along the coastline, hugging the back of the sandy bays. Playa Sant Sebastiá is an excellent swimming sport, and you can enjoy a dip in the clear blue sea before grabbing a bite to eat at one of the beachside restaurants.
For more energetic activities, various water sports and boat trips can be found operating out of the port, or hop in the car and head along the coast to discover Barcelona. Less than an hour's drive, the waterfront city is brimming with culture, and there are endless points of interest to discover, from the dramatic Sagrada Familia to multiple art galleries and museums, as well as the back streets packed with friendly tapas and bars.
