MASIA ALMIRAL DE LA FONT, Sant Pere de Ribes

BEDROOMS AND BATHROOMS

The rental is comprised of both the main masia and a casita. The masia is suitable for large families, corporate groups and special events such as weddings, filming and production launches. Adjoining the masia is the casita, a storybook two-storey cottage, an ideal private area for teenagers or couples to have their own space. Rustic stone walls, soft hues and vibrant furnishings decorate both the casita and masia. Though most original aspects were preserved, the windows have been enlarged to allow even more sunlight to illuminate the space.

INTERIOR

Almiral De La Font is a substantial private residence with a living area of over 1,300 square metres for guests to enjoy. Even when fully occupied the house is still large enough to allow you as much space and privacy as you like.

The house has been thoughtfully and sympathetically designed to provide modern and hi-tec comforts, while still retaining the historical essence. Many original features have been preserved and where possible the atmosphere and ambience have been enhanced through enlarging window spaces and building balconies.

The masia has been sumptuously furnished throughout with a clever mix of antique period pieces and quirky artistic flourishes.

There is a fully equipped modern kitchen, a Scandinavian style fireplace lounge, a TV lounge (with satellite TV), a surround sound plasma screen home cinema, a games room, a wine cellar, a conference / meeting room, a banquet room, a snooker / pool room, and a children’s playroom. The house is partly air conditioned and centrally heated.

The casita adjoins the main house separated by a delightful patio area. It is a two story cottage which is open plan in design and includes a bathroom, a fully fitted kitchen, a small dining area and lounge with double sofa bed. The upstairs area is a mezzanine construction divided into two areas with double and single bed. 

The casita is a simpler cozier style to the main house and offers extra space which is communicable with the main house but also allows families or teenagers a separate and distinct place.

GARDENS & OUTSIDE SPACES

The outside spaces at Almiral De La Font are delightful. The front of the property has a large and attractive tiled courtyard with palm and citrus trees and an atmospheric Moroccan lounge providing welcome shade from the hot afternoon sun. The courtyard provide an excellent space for outdoor events and dining for large groups. 

The grounds of Almiral De La Font stretch to over 300 acres  with 14 kilometres of private tracks that meander through vineyards, olive groves, pear, almond and other fruit trees. There are stunning sea and mountain views from all around the property.

The centrepiece of the main courtyard is a truly stunning 18.6m x 6m solar heated infinity swimming pool. After a swim you can sunbathe on one of the plentiful sun beds that surround the pool or simply relax under a sunshade. There is also a table tennis table and basketball net for some competitive group fun!

THINGS TO DO

There are so many ways to enjoy the days and nights at Almiral De La Font but you’ll find so much to experience and enjoy in the local area if you can drag yourself away.

The bustling seaside town of Sitges is just a 5-minute drive away. Sitges has just about everything you need on a holiday: sandy beaches, cool bars, quality restaurants, fashionable boutiques, festivals, fireworks, culture, nightlife and élan.

For those looking for more energetic distractions the nearby Mediterranean coast with its golden sandy beaches and numerous marinas offers unlimited opportunities for water based sports and boat rentals. The house also has direct access to the Garraf Natural Park providing hundreds of kilometres of fantastic hiking and mountain bike trails right on your doorstep.
