Villa Ciruela Spain
Holiday Home Rental Description
Combining traditional interiors with a contemporary outdoor living space, Villa Ciruela offers a relaxing experience just 37km from Barcelona. Situated in Viladecavalls, west of the larger city of Terrassa, this 3-bedroom holiday home enjoys mountain views and has its own private pool.
A short stroll from the centre of the village, Villa Ciruela offers plenty of space to enjoy the sunshine. A spacious terrace enrobes a kidney-shaped swimming pool which is easily accessible from the main living areas inside the house. There are lots of sun loungers, and outdoor seating and dining areas within a few steps of the pool, which enjoys a verdant backdrop – the trees also add to the privacy and seclusion of this area.
The house covers two levels and features a living room with a fireplace and cosy seating area on the lower floor. Decked with wooden beams, this room also provides entertainment with a music system, TV and DVD player – plus there is Wi-Fi too. A rustic kitchen and dining area can also be found on this floor, providing an oven, hob, dishwasher, microwave, fridge freezer and coffee machine.
Upstairs you have three bedrooms – two doubles and a twin room. There is a shared bathroom, as well as an en suite attached to one of the double bedrooms. Another bathroom and a double sofa-bed can be found downstairs.
Villa Ciruela is well located for local amenities, with shops and restaurants within 1km. The nearest railway station is also within a few minutes’ drive. The centre of Terrassa is just over 10 minutes away and offers a good mix of shopping, dining and history. Several churches and the ancient castle in the gardens of Vallparadís are among the landmarks worth seeing, along with the impressive central market building which continues to house a marketplace today.The area of Catalonia extending north of Barcelona has no shortage of beach resorts and attractive coastal hideaways to uncover. Large towns such as Badalona and Mataró later give way to smaller but much-loved locations like Llafranc and Begur, giving this stretch of the Costa Brava a satisfying level of variety.
What lies inland is also positively rewarding. With a landscape dominated by mountainous regions like Montseny and the Cadiretes, it would be a shame not to take some time away from the beach to enjoy some incredible scenery either on foot or by bike. The latter area extends as far as the coast north of Tossa de Mar, offering the perfect opportunity to combine the two.
One of Catalonia’s most impressive historic cities lies around 35 minutes’ drive north of here – Girona. Whether it’s to view the Arab Baths, the record-breaking wide nave of the Catedral de Santa María or the coloured houses lining the River Onyar, you are assured of an inspiring visit. Girona is also home to Catalonia’s largest urban park, Devesa, a wonderful green oasis in the heart of the city.
For something a little more rugged, the mountains of Montseny are a vast playground for hikers and climbers. Richly diverse in terms of both landscape and climate, this vast natural area is one of the region’s must-sees. To the south, the smaller Parc del Montnegre i el Corredor offers a relaxing outdoor environment that’s well suited to walking.
Along the coast to the east of this area, a number of attractive towns make for appealing excursions, such as Arenys de Mar with its eye-catching historic buildings and pretty harbour. North-west of Barcelona, the city of Terrassa provides an alternative angle on Catalonia. This important industrial city boasts some impressive architecture in the form of the Modernist Masia Freixa and Mercat de la Independència central market. Its National Museum of Science and Technology offers an intriguing overview of more recent developments.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
