High living and Hedonism - take a Catalan manor house this August through One Off Places

Still looking for a holiday in August and finding that everything’s already booked up? Almiral de la Font is a luxuriously restored masia just south of Barcelona which not only still has availability, but has a six night stay on offer for just 60% of the normal price.


Staying at Almiral is a unique experience: renovated with great care and attention to detail, this beautiful ‘masia’ offers high-tech modern comforts whilst retaining the historic charm and character of the original building.


Outside is a large tiled courtyard with palm and citrus trees and Moroccan lounge providing welcome shade. There are over 300 acres of private grounds with 14 kilometres of tracks in which you will find large areas of vineyards, olive groves and fruit trees. Sea views from 200 meters altitude onto the coastal resorts of Sitges and Vilanova Y La Geltru. There is an 18.6 x 6m solar heated swimming pool, as well as a children’s pool, ample outdoor furniture, a table tennis and basketball net and gated car parking for over 12 cars. And that’s just the outside.


Inside you’ll find four suites, each with two or three bedrooms and four individual double bedrooms. Sleeping up to 24 it comes with its own maid, a surround sound home cinema, wine cellar, banquet room and games room.

If you can’t face cooking, call the cook. If you want some childcare, they can provide a babysitter. If you want to tour the area but can’t be bothered to drive yourself, there’s a chauffeur available. You can even get married here - and they can organise marquees and caterers for you.

Set high on a hillside in the Pinedes wine region, the masia dates back to the 1500’s. It is surrounded by the Garaf National Park and offers dramatic sea or mountain views from every room or terrace. Thirty minutes drive from the allure of the Barcelona city lights and ten minutes drive from the pull of the Sitges beaches.

Available from 8th – 14th August (six nights) at a 40% discount off the usual price.
Normally £15,800 for a week at the property in peak season, it is now £8,100 for six nights.
£337.50 per person (based on 24 sharing).
