Masia Mas Santo is a majestic manor house nestles on a peaceful hilltop in the famous Penedes wine region and offers wonderful views across the Catalan countryside and out to the deep blue Mediterranean sea in the distance.
This tranquil haven has more than 300 acres of private grounds with vineyards, olive groves and fruit trees, yet is only a 45-minute drive from Barcelona and 20 minutes from the lively beach resort of Sitges.
Dating back to 1608, Masia Mas Santo consists of the main house, an annex and a suite offering attractive and comfortable accommodation for groups of up to 20 to 32 guests. Though totally renovated and adapted to a high standard of modern comfort, the original details have been lovingly preserved with terracotta tiled floors, white washed walls, exposed stone and wooden windows.
Outside is a truly spectacular 20m x 8m private saline swimming pool with plenty of sunbeds on the surrounding terrace on which to relax and soak up the warm Mediterranean sun. There is also a spacious lounge area, outdoor kitchen and BBQ as well as several private chill-out zones for quiet contemplation time. Feel free to wander through the 50,000 sqm of delightful private grounds filled with native plants and trees.
Despite offering a peaceful and relaxing haven there is so much to do and see right on the doorstep. The nearest beach is just 5 minutes by car, the bustling seaside resort of Sitges is 20 minutes and you can be in the heart of cosmopolitan Barcelona within 45 minutes.
