To us, this home perfectly encapsulates the phrase 'old meets new', as stylish modern fixtures and fittings combine with traditional features and bags of authentic Catalan charm in this eclectic three double-bedroom home. We're talking original exposed stone detailing accented with sleek stainless steel, swathes of glass in the large windows, and contemporary light fixtures, which really bring the space into the twenty-first century. While parts of this home feel historical, other areas are simple yet thoroughly modern – which we think makes the whole place effortlessly unique and timeless.
Part of a traditional masia complex, this quintessentially Spanish-style home was once the smaller annexe to the larger manor house and now serves as a cosy base from which to set out and discover captivating Catalonia. The home is spread over two main floors, with inviting living spaces carefully laid out over the ground floor. These include a charming living room furnished with some funky contemporary pieces and opening into a modern kitchen with a breakfast area for up to six people. There is also another, slightly more elegant dining room where we already imagine sitting down with the rest of our group for a sumptuous meal bursting with Catalan flavours and plenty of zesty sangria - ¡Salud!
Most rooms on the ground floor offer direct access to the lovely outdoor area, where you will find an unusually long and thin teal-hued swimming pool that's perfect for getting in a lap or two before breakfast. The pool area houses sun loungers and a laid-back seating area where you can kick back with a book and enjoy a slice of sheer serenity as the only sound around you comes from the gentle rustle of the myriad mature trees, the trickle from the pool's water feature, and the summer-time hum of the cicadas. With its peaceful location and the overarching sense of calm that permeates the air here, we think this place is perfect for anyone looking simply to rest, recharge, and rejuvenate – while still being within easy reach of plenty of action and amenities when the time is right.
If you are travelling as part of a larger group but are still hoping for a little peace, privacy, and much-needed 'me-time', then there is another similar though larger property (the original manor house) within the same complex, just around 160 metres away, names Can Garraf. Get in touch with us today to enquire about renting both properties!
What you should know…
- In the interest of safety, any little ones must be supervised at all times when around the pool area
- All three of the double bedrooms can be converted into twin rooms (with two single beds) upon request and with prior notice
- Our Concierge team are happy to arrange a variety of activities and extras for you, including daily housekeeping, catering/private chef services, a freshly-cooked breakfast service, and wine-tasting experiences at the villa
- The property is located in a rural area, surrounded by a river (riera de ribes). With heavy rains, the river can fill up and there might be a possibility that you cannot cross by car. This rarely happens, however for this reason we would recommend a larger car for accessing the property

Location
About the surrounding area of Can Garraf PetitLike the design of this home, the location is great for getting to see the best of both sides of Catalonia and really getting to grips with everything that it has to offer: from its flavourful cuisine to its richly varied cultural heritage and fascinating language. Though the region is part of mainland Spain, it is culturally distinct from the rest of the country, and while some things translate from other areas, Catalonia possesses its own unique character, style, substance, and way of life.
Located just a twenty-minute drive from the colourful Catalan capital of Barcelona, a city filled to the brim with fun, frivolity, and mouth-watering food, this home is wonderfully well-placed for getting the most out of this part of Spain. The beautiful beaches of Sitges are also close-by, as is the characterful town of Sant Pere de Ribes, known for the remains of its historic 12th-century castle.
Home to swathes of unspoiled countryside filled with everything from olive groves to vineyards; charismatic villages dotting the gently undulating landscape all the way to the golden coast; as well as exciting, exuberant cities – Barcelona being the crowning glory – this region is richly varied and home to a wide offering of historical, cultural, and gastronomical experiences.
Spend a day rambling along Las Ramblas, taking in the myriad sights, sounds, and smells of one of the world's most vibrantly alive cities, or top up your tan on the sandy beaches of Sitges while finally making some headway with that novel you've been carrying around. Stop in at hole-in-the-wall eateries, pick up fresh produce in village markets, or simply watch rural life unfold around you from one of the cafés that frame the bustling town squares. There really is something for everyone to fall in love with in this multifaceted region.
Alternatively, seeing as the home itself is located within the Garraf National Park, the whole area around the home is covered in hiking and biking routes – so why not get out there and immerse yourself in the laid-back local way of life as well as the striking scenery? Our Concierge team can also help organise any trips or excursions you'd like to go on during your stay!
Wine buffs may well rejoice here, as the famous Penedes and Cava-producing winemakers of Torres, Cordiniu, Freixenet, and Gramona are all nearby. A visit to one of them makes for the perfect (perhaps somewhat boozy) afternoon out. Another idea for a day trip would be a visit to the ancient city of Tarragona, just 30 minutes away, or the magnificent Montserrat mountain, about 45 minutes by car.
It is important to note that the property is located in a rural area, surrounded by a river (riera de ribes). With heavy rains, the river can fill up and there might be a possibility that you cannot cross by car. This rarely happens but is something to take into account while booking the property.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesWe think this is a great choice for anyone travelling with children, partly because of the cosy and homelike interiors that are sure to have the little ones feeling comfortable in no time, but also because of the tranquil location that is still within easy reach of beaches and historical sites such as Tarragona that will set their imaginations alight. The popular Port Aventura adventure park is also close by and reachable in just about 30 minutes by car.
Kids and teenagers will love the pool area, while the adjacent outdoor seating area means you can keep an eye on them as they have fun in the sun.
The fact that each of the double bedrooms can be converted into a twin room, housing two single beds, also makes this place a great choice for families, while the two dining areas – including a more informal kitchen/diner – are great for allowing everyone to have their own space at dinner time. So, for example, the kids can get stuck into their dinner in the kitchen while you crack open a bottle of wine and get into some adult conversation next door. Furthermore, your hosts can provide cots and high chairs for the little ones.

Owner Profile
How long have you owned the property?
We bought the property in 2003. Our dream was to restore the ruins and live there as a family. It took us 10 years to get the building permits, so eventually, we decided to restore the ruins and rent them out, as by then we had settled with the family (3 boys) in Sitges and no longer wanted to move.
What was it about the property that you first fell in love with?
The scenery, views of the Mediterranean Sea, vineyards, quietness, proximity to Barcelona and the international airport El Prat, Sitges (good beaches) and Ski areas in winter.
Are there any interesting stories in the property’s history?
The property’s history dates back to the Napoleonic Wars, during which part of the Catalonian militia was led by Josep Capdet del Corral, who was born in the farmhouse Corral del Capdet, half a kilometre outside of Sant Pere de Ribes.
For anyone coming to stay, is there anything you suggest that they really…
Must do?
Visit Sitges and Barcelona, take a tour at the famous Cordorniu Cava Bodega, walk through the vineyards and have breakfast at Matt Café in Sant Pere de Ribes, rent mountain bikes and tour through the Garraf National Park.
Must eat?
Paella from our chef Carmen!
Must see?
Sagrada Familia or any Gaudi architecture in Barcelona, sunrise in Sitges, Sitges carnival, Golden hour on the terrace of the villa.

Highly recommend.
Communication leading up to our trip and even on the day of arrival was top notch! Ralph was extremely attentive to our needs with lost luggage issues. The home is beautiful and very peaceful surroundings. Close to town and not far to Sitges where we had obligations during our stay. Highly recommend.

This is a beautiful villa in a peaceful setting
This is a beautiful villa in a peaceful setting. It is fully equipped and tastefully designed. It is only 25 minutes from the Barcelona airport and 15 minutes from the center of Sitges. Our welcome with Carmen was very thorough.

Luxury accommodation in a beautiful location
Fantastic house in a beautiful, quiet location! The lovely swimming pool, the luxurious decor. Nothing is missing. There is plenty to do in the area if you want to visit the sights, nature, beach, cava tastings and Barcelona. Something for everyone.

Exceptional location in the middle of nature
Exceptional location in the middle of the vineyards, possibility of taking walks nearby, very nice pool corridor, quiet and lack of direct neighbors, different terraces, near Sitges and the village ' Sant Pere de Ribes" accessible on foot and where you can find all the shops. Villa very cool in summer. In short, a great stay and a great thank you to Arlette who welcomed us and who was always available in case of small problems.
