Welcome to a FridaysFlats experience!
Finca El Racó is on the outskirts of Santpedor, a small agricultural town that lies on an ancient crossroads and within easy reach of the rest of Catalunya.
Cosmopolitan Barcelona is less than an hour away. The former fishing village of Sitges, with its beautiful beaches and buzzing nightlife, is an hour to the south. The peaks of the Pyrenees and its ski resorts lie just 75 minutes to the north, along with Andorra and France, a 90-minute journey away. The wild beaches of Costa Brava and the medieval towns and villages of Empordà are 90 minutes to the east.
Closer to hand, the region has plenty of surprises in store, with its prehistoric caves, nature reserves, a holy mountain and a salt mountain, vineyards producing outstanding wines, leafy woodland brimming with history and legends, and a whole host of magical spots.
It doesn’t matter which direction you head off in – with El Racó as your base, you're sure to come across somewhere special.
Built in the last quarter of the 20th century, Finca El Racó offers all the home comforts you need, whatever the time of year.
THE HOUSE
There’s space for 14 people in its seven comfortable bedrooms, and there’s room for two extra beds too.
There are four bedrooms on the ground floor: two with a double bed each, one with two single beds, and one with a single bed. There are also two full bathrooms complete with a bathtub, a kitchen and a lounge/dining room that looks out on to a delightful terrace, where you can take a seat and enjoy a relaxing drink or aperitif.
There are three double rooms on the first floor (one with a double bed and the other two with two single beds each) and two more bathrooms with bathtubs. There’s also a sun terrace for soaking up the rays and enjoying complete privacy and stunning views of the mountains of Montserrat. The sunsets here are nothing short of spectacular.
The house’s old wine cellar has been turned into an open-plan basement area that you can use as a games room, meeting room or even a disco.
The house has a WiFi connection.
THE GROUNDS
The extensive barbecue area is covered and furnished. Sheltered from the sun, it’s one of our favorite spots.
Decked out with sun shades and loungers and complete with a gallery with changing rooms and showers, the swimming pool is waiting for you between May and September. So take a dip, freshen up and have fun with your family and friends.
The estate's private sports facilities are just the ticket if you’re looking to stay fit or have some fun playing sport. There’s a clay tennis court for you to enjoy, a pelota court that doubles up as a volleyball court, and a gym. The Lodging Apartments team will be only too happy to organise what you need for a fun stay: sports equipment hire; private tennis, yoga and pilates classes; fitness coaches; etc
