Villa VilaRedona w El Mirador del Penedés

One of the most unique dwellings that you will ever stay in. Featured in Vogue Magazine, this 16th century convent built by monks and more recently transformed into an incredible vacation destination by its artist owners. It's hard to put in words just how amazing this place is...but we will certainly try! 2 fully equipped and tastefully styled apartments welcome a singular family/group (not rented separately), with a common open area kitchen-dining room under the alter. French windows open internally direct to the magnificent nave where breakfast can be enjoyed under an open sky. Outside, there are two beautiful garden terraces looking onto an orchard of almond trees and the hills beyond. There is also a barbeque area and summer kitchen. The magnificent central nave is lined on both sides by six great arches and is yours to enjoy and as an inspiring place to relax. The apartments are distributed as follows: Apartment 1: 3 bedrooms (2 doubles and a single - the single is accessed through one of the double bedrooms and is ideal for a child.) Apartment 2: Studio with 1 double bed area. Sizes of the beds are 100x200 cm for single bed and 190x150 cm for double bed. Lovers of fine wine, will have the opportunity to join a guided tour at the famous 'Mas Vicenc' wine cellar, situated just a few miles away from the convent. For a modest fee, the 'Walk and wine' tour takes you through beautiful vineyards to an old ruin where you can not only taste several varieties of excellent wines but also learn about their production and history . The tour lasts one hour and is definitely worth a visit! The artist owners (Nik and Madalena) live in a separate apartment on site and will welcome you upon arrival. They are available if requested but otherwise respect the privacy of the guests. Please note that 2 very friendly cats live on site, but are not permitted to enter the apartments Distances: Beach: 26 km Barcelona: 68km Supermarket: 200m Shops: 200m Restaurant: 200m Train station: 13km ———————————————————- Catalunya Casas specialises in hand-picked, exclusively managed family villa rentals (with pool and garden!) in Costa Brava, Costa Dorada, & the Barcelona area.

Cleaning Policy: 1) Our housekeeping teams have received specialised training in cleaning requirements. Before and after each villa rental, we have enhanced our cleaning processes as per the World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines. All zones of each property, including high contact areas such as door knobs and handles, faucets, and switches are first cleaned and then disinfected with bleach based cleaning products. Disinfectants are left to soak for at least 10 minutes to receive full sanitizing benefits. 2) Cleaning time allowances have been extended to accommodate the above. 3) We have allotted a minimum of 24 hours between check-outs and new check-ins. 4) Our properties are accessed through a key box, so there is no face-to-face arrival contact. Keys are disinfected after each stay. 5) All our towels and linens are provided by professionals. 6) All beds and pillows have protective covers.
