Travel back to a quieter time at Masia Can Casals. This beautiful Barcelona country house dates from the 15th century, and while a recent renovation has added touches of modern luxury, it hasn’t lost any of its charm. With more than 7,000 square feet of space, five bedrooms, and a location that’s close to the city yet tranquil and private, it’s an ideal retreat for up to ten guests.

Your holiday at the villa includes access to a shared pool and padel court. Of course, you can also relax around the villa’s own saltwater pool, or around its al-fresco lounging and dining areas. In spite of the property’s historic bona fides, its high-tech amenities range from a satellite TV and Wi-Fi to air conditioning and even an elevator.

Beamed ceilings, brick archways, and stone and wood floors nod to the villa’s heritage in the comfortable living and dining rooms. Thanks to the recent renovation, however, you can now take a seat on a sleek sectional or a buttery leather sofa. The adjacent kitchen is fully equipped and has a practical island layout.

Each of the five bedrooms at this vacation rental has two twin beds and an en-suite bathroom. The beds can be separated if you’re traveling with friends, or combined to form king beds if you’re traveling with family.

From Masia Can Casals, you can walk to downtown Alella, where you’ll find shops, restaurants, a park and bus service to central Barcelona. By car, it’s less than 10 minutes to the broad, honeymoon-worthy stretch of Montgat Beach, or about 20 minutes to the popular beaches closer to downtown. Even if you’re keen to relax, it’s well worth taking a day trip into the city for its fabulous architecture and memorable cuisine.
