The detail

Casa Puñol is a stunning renovated Catalan farmhouse and the perfect place to go if you are looking for a group getaway in a beautiful area with unbeatable scenery. The house has been rebuilt into a chic and modern holiday home with features designed to heighten your holiday experience. With room for twelve guests, and more than enough to entertain all, Casa Puñol is truly a great find. The house is surrounded by green meadows, small rivers and rolling hills; with numerous glass walls in the house, you will never have to be without these breath-taking views.

There are six bedrooms in the Casa Puñol, four double rooms on the upper floor and two twin rooms on the lower floor; all have their own en suite bathroom. The rooms all have modern furnishings in light colours, adding to the bright, spacious feel of the whole house. The four double rooms, each with a wall-to-wall window, have access to the upstairs terrace. There is also a large downstairs terrace, accessible from the open living and dining room and the sleek, modern kitchen. A private Jacuzzi sits inside a glass walled room so you can relax whilst taking in the natural surroundings.

You also have your own private pool in the garden. It is a unique, triangular shaped infinity pool, surrounded by loungers so you can bask in the sunshine and work on your tan; for the warm evenings there is a large BBQ area and outdoor kitchen, perfect for enjoying delicious food (and wine!) without having to leave the alluring scenery. There is entertainment for children as well - a small football area, outdoor basketball court and table-tennis equipment. It would be a great struggle to be bored during your stay and also a struggle to leave the house! However, the surrounding region is not something to miss.

Numerous small towns and villages line the river Llobregat, all with stunning historical buildings and quaint local marketplaces. Within driving distance are the Pyrenees Mountains offering a wide range of activities – white-water rafting, hiking, kayaking and more! The local life is rich in cultural heritage and, with a limited number of tourists visiting the area, you’ll get a true Catalan experience.
