A Local Hideaway with an enormous wow factor! This hidden gem, situated in a picturesque medieval village in the Empordà, absolutely has it! Not surprising because the property is an old Italian palace and still breathes the grandeur and finesse of the wealthy Italian family that once used this house as a country retreat. Now it is proudly owned by the young enterprising Oleguer and Anna and they have transformed the palace into a small modern and luxurious pampering hotel.
Celine and Julien were looking for slow living with their family… a Hideaway under the sun where they felt at home, surrounded by nature but not too far from the city. And so they found a fantastic old Mas, Catalan farmhouse, where they could realise their dream. A fine guesthouse where you can relax and where the senses are opened up. But where there is also plenty of room for Celine’s wonderful cooking, because this passion certainly finds its place here with a selection of fresh herbs, edible flowers and as many 0-km products as possible.
In a tiny village in the Empordà, there is a surprise hidden behind a pale green door. If you didn’t know it, you would walk right past it. But once inside you will be surprised by all the space and a beautiful garden. This is where South African Johan and Sandy have housed their small-scale B&B. Only 7 rooms, varying from a spacious suite to a small double room.
This is a real Local Hideaway in the centre of Barcelona, the Eixample neighbourhood. A beautiful Modernista building stocked up with contemporary art and with spacious, comfortable rooms. Big bonus is the cosy living room and huge terrace… and the homey atmosphere which makes the difference!
