The first records of the building date back to the 1400s. In the 19th century it was a farm and vineyard; we are restoring some of the vines but don't wait for us, head to town where you find some lovely local wine bars.
The house is at the foothills of the national park, and the natural well water feeds the water reserves and our lake. At the end of our old road into town you will pass Can Xeco Monnar, which we plan to rebuild in a few years time (from the 15th century.) Directly across from us you see the dramatic Torre del Governador and ruins of the agricultural school of Catalunya; this will someday be a 5* hotel.
A few notes:
- Its a great place for remote working: high-speed internet (1000Mb/s fibre), wifi everywhere and printer, but we encourage you to also unwind and go off-grid to totally relax. You will see why when you stay; it's a unique setting.
- Mok and I are often on the property and look forward to greeting you .
- Your pool is private; we take care of it each day while you are away.
- There is a second beautiful shared pool at the top of the hill with a view of the sea, with all natural water from our mountain reservoir.
- BBQs for the summer (gas and charcoal) plus fireplace for the winter. We have tons of firewood.
- Alberto the caretaker is there twice a day to tend to the garden at the top of the hill, he grows lots of things there.
- Alella has fantastic award winning organic Cava and several world-class wineries such as Alta Alella.
- Our two donkeys Valen and Pau are very friendly and great at trimming the lawns. Please say hello and bring carrots ! There are 7 sheep (they mow the lawn to keep it beautiful) .
- Solar power (during the day of course): we have 13 kWp installed so far to do our part on the environment - we like your help as well to take care of the planet.
