In 2001 we (a young Dutch professional couple) bought a ruin of a medieval house (14th century) in a small village in the Penedes-region in Catalonia, Spain. We fully restored it and now it´s a comfortable house that combines medieval charm and 21st century luxury.

The house (250m2) has 4 bedrooms (3 very large doubles and a nice single), 2 large bathrooms and a third toilet, a kitchen-diner with fireplace, a large living room, an entrance hall with a impressive gothic arch and stone stairs, a large garage and plenty of storage-room.

There is a nice garden (250m2), a cosy patio next to the kitchen (30m2) and a large sun terrace (almost 100 m2) with a small but well designed pool. The house has underfloor heating installed under the handmade terracotta tiling. This means the house also is very comfortable in the 2 or 3 ´winter´months the mediterranean climate in the Penedes-area has.

The house is one of 6 houses in the Calle Mayor, Main street, of a tiny village (Saifores) with less then 60 houses and 100 people. The neighbours in Saifores are very friendly, welcoming and the village is very safe, including for children playing on the street. The village frequently organises ´fiestas´ and/or nice meals for the neighborhood.

Although it´s a small village, it certainly isn´t isolated. All amenities are very close to Saifores as the village lies in the centre of a populated valley. You´ll find supermarkets within 3 kilometers, a brand new hospital at 2 kilometers, cinemas, daily fresh markets, shops, railway stations into the rest of Spain, excellent motorways it´s all there.

The clean sandy beach can be found at about 8 kilometers, or 10 minutes by car. Practically the complete coastline consists of yellow sandy beaches, so even in high season there´s never a problem to park your car and find a nice place for your towels.

  • The Penedes area is a perfect base for a visit to Catalonia, you would probably need at least several weeks to see it all, Barcelona is only at 60 km or 45 minutes by train away, The Penedes itself is famous for it´s wines and champain (Cava), Finding a winehouse (Bodega) to taste some local wines won´t be a problem, The valley is about 10 km wide and quite populated, but on both sides are large nature reserves for hiking or biking, There are many beaches, all with the famous yellow sand that gave the golden coast(Costa Dorada) its name, The provincial capital of Tarragona has many impressive remains of the Roman and Gothic era and is well worth a visit, Inland you´ll find historic cities like Montblanc or Prades and in the convents of Poblet and Santes Creus you´ll see some great examples of Gothic architecture, The Pyrenees are only at about 2 hours driving distance
