Further details
Garraf region is Catalunya's second smallest comarca but packs a lot into 184 square kilometers. Located on the Costa Garraf, just south of Barcelona, the region's beautiful coastline includes 25 kilometres of large sandy beaches and tiny secluded bays almost hidden beneath rocky cliffs. The Parc Natural Garraf in the east covers 13,000 hectares. The low limestone peaks of the Garraf massif create a wild landscape and habitat for a number of rare and protected species like the European fan palm, Mediterranean tortoise, wild boar, and red fox. The Parc Natural de Garraf is full of tracks for walking and cycling, as well as many caves just waiting to be explored; Jafra Natura based in Olivella runs guided activities at weekends. Other activities on offer in the park include group workshops and courses in astronomy at the Observatori Astronòmic del Parc del Garraf. The region's historical monuments include seven castles that date from the 10th to 17th centuries.
Things to see – Sitges, an old fishing town. When Modernista artist Santiago Rusiñol moved there in the late 19th century he was instrumental in putting the town on the artistic and cultural map, by hosting festes modernistes in his home and studio, Cau Ferrat, which is now a museum and gallery. Cau Ferrat is situated in a lovely old quarter, Racó de la Calma (literally, ‘quiet corner'), just along from another important cultural site, the Museu de Maricel, housed in the Palau of the same name built in the early 20th century for an American millionaire. The museum also encompasses Rusiñol's friend and fellow artist Ramon Casas's house, and has collections of art and sculpture spanning many centuries and styles, as well as an interesting exhibition of maritime artifacts. Sitges continues to be a magnet for creative minds and one of the favourite subjects for artists is the 17th-century Baroque church of Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla.

Guest comments
Boston, MA: 5 out of 5. We spent a week with friends and family and simply had a wonderful time. The littlest ones had plenty of outdoor space and sandbox, and the teen-agers loved going into Sitges, just down the road. We preferred the peace and quiet on an otherwise busy Spanish coast. Although the villa is located near the beaches and towns of the area, it rests in the middle of a national park, surrounded by natural landscape as far as the eye can see. The drive up the mountain from the coast has amazing views of the Mediterranean. The house and grounds themselves are impressive. The house is very modern, with every amenity. Everything is new. The owner is a native English speaker and was available to answer questions throughout our stay, which was comforting since our Spanish/Catalan skills leave something to be desired. I would absolutely recommend this property. Recommended for: Age 55+, Adventure Seekers, Girls Getaway, Families with Young Children, Romantic Getaway
