Villa CP

A lovingly restored, eco-friendly Catalan farmhouse with natural swimming pool, for luxury group breaks steeped in peaceful tradition.

Set on a hilltop just 25 minutes from the beautiful beaches of Costa Brava, and with Barcelona accessible in just over an hour, Villa CP is perfectly and peacefully positioned for you to enjoy Catalonia in all its mountainous glory.

Originally a traditional farmhouse, Villa CP has been stunningly rebuilt by a renowned Barcelona-based architect, transforming the space into a stylish and sustainable holiday home for groups of up to ten people - a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with some of your favourite people in spacious seclusion.

The main farmhouse sleeps eight people in four double bedrooms, while the separate annex sleeps two and is ideal for a couple, complete with private bathroom and a kitchen that overlooks 60 acres of lush forest land.

No ordinary Spanish villa, you'll notice the quality of your surroundings from the moment you arrive, with supreme attention to detail that blends tradition with contemporary styling throughout. Décor is soft-toned and muted, allowing plenty of scope for you to admire the vibrant textiles and classic pieces of furniture.  

Expertly designed to be naturally cool in summer and warm in winter, the walls are covered with natural clay, and with cooled floors perfectly tempering hot summer afternoons, a better setting for relaxation simply can't be imagined!

Marvel at the spectacular kitchen, with its huge island and cutting-edge equipment (indeed, budding chefs may not leave this room all holiday long!)  Exquisite Bisazza tiles adorn the bathrooms, while the beds have been designed with comfort in mind, from the two-metre Emperor-sized bed in the master suite, to the sensuous Japanese futon mattress discovered in the annex.

Outside is another world of beauty, with flourishing Mediterranean gardens ideal for fruit and vegetable foraging, a chlorine-free, plant-filtered fresh water infinity pool and miles of open space just begging to be indulged!

Enjoy sizzling al-fresco suppers in the shaded barbecue area as the kids use up their energy on the giant trampoline, challenge your loved ones to a table tennis or foosball match, or simply choose a favourite tree spot and take a well-earned siesta in a hammock. On rare rainy days, games and DVDs are provided, meaning you'll never get the chance to be bored.

If you decide to head out, you'll soon discover plenty more ways to spend your days. You'll need a car to explore the area fully, though mountain bikes are available to rent, and there are many forest paths to hike through in the surrounding forest.

Of course, no trip to Spain is complete without at least one day spent at the beach, and Costa Brava's best are discovered just 25 minutes away.

Fans of ‘Game of Thrones' will immediately recognise the scenery at nearby Girona, a medieval city thriving with shops, cafes and terraces...and an old quarter complete with cathedral, used for filming some of the iconic TV series.  

Culture-steeped Barcelona is also within easy reach, and the Pyrenees are an hour away by car...with plenty of pretty villages to explore along your way. And as if all that wasn't quite enough, Villa CP's friendly owner has created a Google map of the very best restaurants to try in the region, just in case you feel like taking a break from your opulent kitchen!

With so much to enthral your senses here, you won't regret rounding up your favourite people for a Spanish villa holiday...with a major upgrade.
