We celebrated my mothers 80th birthday in Spain. She wanted to go to Europe, so we chose Spain. After spending 4 fabulous days in Barcelona ( I could move there tomorrow ), we traveled only 25 minutes to the beautiful town of Alella. The views, the home, the location, the owners, the hiking, were all sensational. I could live here as well!
Views- Castles, mountains, vineyards; all wonderful.
Home- An updated 15th century farmhouse. It has all the bells and whistles. Plenty of room for up to 10 people with plenty of space.
Location- Walk to a great town, wine bars, restaurants, friendly people, a local bakery, a farmers market. I could go on and on...........25 minutes to Barcelona and about the same by train. Also, convenient for day trips to other areas. No favorites. We liked them all and could have easily just stayed at the farmhouse, and that would have been fine.
Owners- It was like having a private concierge. Any time we had a question or needed a recommendation, within seconds we would have a text WITH a link. They were AWESOME!
Hiking-The property, which is about 30 acres, abuts National Forests with great trails and views. We really enjoyed this convenience. I wish we hiked more.
We highly recommend this property. We could give it 10 stars, if we were able to.
