It is easily accessible with one of the many daily flights, it has a sunny and pleasant climate all year round, good infrastructure and friendly Spaniards.

In the green and authentic surroundings of Barcelona you will find other, more authentic provinces and cities, such as Girona and Tarragona, and beautiful medieval villages all over the countryside. The diversity of Catalonia offers everyone an unforgettable holiday in which you will experience many different impressions. Whether you are a sun worshiper, hiker, cyclist, foodie, culture lover, shopper, party animal, young or old. It is an attractive holiday destination for families because there is something for everyone. Without school-going children you can benefit from lower prices outside the high season and know that all year round it is on average 15 degrees warmer than in Northern Europe.

Area around was beautiful and interesting to explore, lots to do,

Joanna
We have just enjoyed a great week in a Beautiful villa in a small welcoming village. It has a great location to visiting Montserrat, Igualada, Tarragona, Poblet and other interesting small villages in between. The facilities are first class and we enjoyed both eating out and cooking in a well equipped kitchen, relaxing by the pool and joining in the local festivals. Our hosts were welcoming and the information about the area helpful.

Susan
We have spent 2 weeks at Torre Nova and enjoyed every day of it. Our appartment had an amazing view out of huge windows over the country side which was like a 3D movie which we could enjoy every day. The appartment was ideal for us and our two girls as each room had its own bathroom and its own big balcony. The old house has been renovated with style and it was a pleasure to come back to it after each excursion. The owners are very friendly and helpfull.
