Piscine Barcelone Spectaculaire Villa Piscine - Plage, Golf, Ski, Route des Vins et Cava

Muy cerca de Barcelona, un jardín envidiable

First and foremost let me say that our hosts Glen and Rosa are amazing people and it was an absolute pleasure to have had the privilege to stay in their gorgeous villa. From start to finish they went out of their way to accommodate and welcome our family as if we were their own. They are exceptional people. So warm and inviting and make you feel so at home and special. From start to finish any questions we had were answered immediately either via phone call or text and they went above and beyond with some special requests we had asked them to arrange. They also provided plenty of helpful information before our arrival about the area and things to see and do. The villa itself as well as the property are magnificant and well maintained. Everything you would hope for. Located in a tiny village where you get to enjoy that rural feel yet well connected and close enough to Barcelona city. It is beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean, spacious and private. It was everything we wished it would be and more. It would also be a perfect location to host a private party or special event. I know that we hope to return to Barcelona one day and without a doubt would stay at El Turo again. We loved it! Margaret from New Jersey

My family and I recently spent a week at the villa, and had a wonderful experience. Given the size of our party – 8 adults and 2 children – we were looking for a property that would provide us with ample space and modern conveniences, without sacrificing the traditional Spanish aesthetic. In all regards, this villa delivered what we were looking for. The house is spacious, with a particularly large master suite, and has an outside, covered dining space that allows for alfresco dining even if an occasional storm passes through (as happened on one night during our stay). While not a negative per se, I ought to mention that as of the time of visiting, there were only three double beds in the house. The fourth bedroom can accommodate a couple, but it has two single beds which we pushed together. The pool is on a lower sun-kissed tier of the property, with an umbrella covered portion for those favoring occasional shade. The grounds are beautiful, and the views of the surrounding countryside are exceptional, especially at sunset.

With regard to the location itself, it’s perched on the top of a hill situated on top of a very small village, though the walk there takes only a couple of minutes. There is a small grocery store in the village, but you’re unlikely to use it for much beyond the essentials, so I would strongly recommend renting at least one car in order to be able to make trips to the much larger supermarket in Martorell, which is located a few miles away. There is also a small restaurant in the village which serves tasty, if fairly basic, Spanish food from a small menu (it’s only for lunch though). We cooked on the wood/coal fired BBQ at the house almost every evening, and had a great time. For those looking to dine out every night though, the nearby options are more limited and do involve either driving or ordering taxis, of which there aren’t many.

Rosa and Glenn could not have been more helpful, accommodating hosts, both before and during our stay. My mother’s birthday took place while we were there, and Rosa was exceptionally helpful in volunteering to help organize a traditional Spanish meal, complete with seafood paella, cooked by a private chef on the property, the cost for which was around 70 Euro per person (though obviously varies depending on what you order).

All in all, I would highly recommend staying at the property if you are looking for a stay-at-home style villa vacation.

6 adults and 3 children aged 6,12 and 15 stayed in this fantastic house for a week starting on the 17th of July 2016. A spacey, and very well equipped house holding high modern standards and comfort - with the nice pool as the natural centre on the outside. At the same time the house reminds you about its ancient history going back all the way to the 15th century.

All in all, a fantastic property located on the top of the village hill with its unique view over the local area + the distant Montserrat mountains.

Castellvi de Rosanes is a very small, but nice village - different from the busy beach villages along the Catalanian coast, and with us as the only tourists. Friendly people everywhere and a very high level of service and food standard in all shops.

Rose and Glenn were excellent hosts providing lots of information in their daily e-mails about events & what to do both locally and in the Barcelona area. They even organized frequent taxi transports for us (as we decided not to rent cars) + ordering meat and fish delivered at the local shop, etc. They were both extremely helpful / service minded and contributed a lot in making our vacation a memory for life.

This place is highly recommended for all - except the ones that absolutely need to have sand between their toes and be at a crowded, busy beach all day (and every day).

We all had a fantastic stay, and will consider coming back next year.
