Villa Ripoll

About this property

Set amid the rolling green hills of Ripoll, Villa Ripoll is a 14th-century Catalan farmhouse reimagined as a soulful boutique retreat. Here, centuries-old stone walls and timber beams frame a warm, lived-in elegance—where vintage records spin in the lounge and the scent of woodsmoke mingles with crisp mountain air. Just a short drive from Ripoll’s historic heart, the property offers a serene, slow-living escape immersed in nature.

Lovingly restored by interior designer and chef Eva Arbonés, the farmhouse blends rustic textures with contemporary craftsmanship. Each of the six thoughtfully curated rooms—ranging from the romantic Heura Suite to the spacious Romaní apartment—features natural linen bedding, waterfall showers, and expansive views over the Catalan landscape. Communal spaces invite connection and calm: sip vermouth by the open fire, flip through vintage vinyl, or relax by the saltwater pool. For families, the self-contained Casa Petita apartment offers a stylish, family-friendly retreat.

Days at Villa Ripoll unfold gently. Mornings begin with a nourishing breakfast of garden fruit, local cheese, and fresh eggs from the resident hens (please see Ts&Cs). Guests might explore forest trails by e-bike, visit Ripoll’s Romanesque monastery, or melt into the open-air hot tub after a massage. As evening falls, Eva crafts seasonal dinners sourced from nearby farms, enjoyed al fresco or beside the farmhouse’s old stone well.

Whether you're seeking a romantic escape, a creative reset, or simply space to breathe, Villa Ripoll offers a rare kind of comfort—one that feels both timeless and deeply personal.

Tucked away in the verdant foothills of the Catalan Pyrenees, this Ripoll retreat enjoys a scenic setting where natural splendour and cultural heritage meet. Surrounded by forested mountains and clear rivers, the area offers a peaceful, alpine ambiance that invites guests to slow down and soak in its rustic charm.

Just a short drive from the property, the historic town centre of Ripoll is easily accessible and brimming with local character. Here you’ll find bakeries, traditional Catalan restaurants, and essential amenities like supermarkets and cafés. The town is known for its walkable layout, making it ideal for exploring on foot.

Ripoll’s most iconic landmark—the 9th-century Monastery of Santa Maria—is mere minutes away and renowned for its intricately carved Romanesque portal. Outdoor enthusiasts will find numerous hiking and cycling routes nearby, as well as river swimming spots in the summer months. With its harmonious blend of heritage, nature, and small-town charm, Ripoll makes for an enriching yet relaxing escape.
