With room for 22-26 guests, Can Sitges Marcer is a stunning Catalan country house looking out over the vast Garraf National Park near Sitges. A 35-minute drive from Barcelona Airport, this property is perfect for special occasions and set on spacious grounds with a dining terrace and an impressive 9.5 x 4.5m swimming pool.
The extensive outdoor spaces enjoy beautiful views of the natural surroundings and incorporate some charming areas for guests to enjoy. There is a secluded barbecue area with table seating, a terrace lounge and bar, a pagoda and a large, covered dining terrace which can accommodate additional guests as required. An outdoor firepit and heaters are also available to hire, so you don’t need to miss out on these gorgeous areas during autumn and winter. A new building, La Casita, has just been opened that can be used as a gym, chill out space and games room with table tennis! The perfect hang out space for kids and adults alike
Inside, you have two more dining areas seating 12 and 26 guests, respectively, and two fully-equipped kitchens. A chef service can be arranged if you desire – they can even teach you the secrets of Mediterranean cuisine in a special cookery class! There is flexibility to adapt the catering arrangements to your requirements, with a wide choice of cuisine available too.
There are sitting rooms with comfy sofas, TV and a great movie collection, as well as a games room which can be used as a cinema or party room. You have a pool table, with other equipment, such as projection screens, available to hire if required. Ten bedrooms, many of which have the original wooden-beamed ceilings and aircon or a ceiling or floor fan, accommodate guests on both the ground and first floors of the house. Most can be used as either a double or twin, and most have an en-suite bathroom (there are nine bathrooms in total). Each room has been beautifully designed and has its own unique style.
This extraordinary property is only a 10-minute drive from Sitges, a pretty coastal town with numerous beaches and a palm-lined promenade. With an abundance of restaurants and bars, this welcoming town is ideal for nights out and emanates an irresistible bohemian vibe.
To the west of the Garraf National Park, around a 45-minute drive from Barcelona, Sitges is known as the 'Jewel on the Mediterranean'. An affluent small town welcoming to all, it's a place with a fun vibe and offers plenty to do and see.
Sitges is always ready for a celebration, and its calendar of events and festivals is impressive. As the host of the annual Catalonian International Film Festival, it's a great place for movie lovers and has a couple of good cinemas in the shape of El Retiro and Prado, the impressive interior of which is well worth seeing. February's Carnival Week and September's Grape Harvest Festival are among the other events which fill the year in Sitges – and as something of a gay capital, its Mardi Gras celebrations are a big deal too.
Sitges' pretty Old Town is filled with fine places to eat. Its popularity with tourists means it has a particularly good offering for a place of its size. There is everything from Catalan to the usual international options – you may notice that pizza is not in short supply! This is no bad thing, though, with lots of nice spots along the promenade to enjoy a casual meal together. You will find plenty of art galleries and a smattering of museums on the streets of Sitges too – an artistic, creative feel makes it an interesting place to go wandering.
The town has quite a few options for sports, including several golf courses and tennis clubs nearby. Numerous beaches and a reliably warm climate year-round make it good for water sports, with jet-skiing and sailing both possibilities. You are more likely to find windsurfing and water-skiing out towards Garraf. This spectacular nature reserve covers some 12,000 hectares and offers wonderful walking and cycling routes in inspiring surroundings.
