Villa Alella is a striking 19th-century estate that pairs historic grandeur with an enviable setting on Spain’s Maresme Coast, just north of Barcelona. Set within five acres of private grounds, the villa is framed by centuries-old pine and eucalyptus trees, a peaceful pond and four distinctive towers that look towards the Mediterranean. Original architectural details, including coffered ceilings, chandeliers and gilt-framed portraits, celebrate the home's heritage, while thoughtful modern updates ensure a comfortable stay.
Outside, days unfold between the saltwater swimming pool, shaded walks beneath 200-year-old trees and leisurely lunches in the outdoor living and dining spaces. Breakfast service each morning adds an extra touch of ease, while Wi-Fi, satellite TV and a contemporary kitchen bring the comforts of modern living to this historic home.
With Barcelona within easy reach, nearby beaches just minutes away and the renowned wine village of Alella on the doorstep, Villa Alella offers an exceptional base for holidays with friends and family.
