“I highly recommend!”
Reviewed by Robert Pindyck in August, 2019.
We were a group of 22 people, ranging in age from 2 to 78. We loved staying at the villa. The pool was fantastic, and we all used it. Had a private chef (Bruno Bonnier) prepare dinners, and he is amazing! The rooms are large and very comfortable. I highly recommend!

“Absolutely stunning property! “
Reviewed by Bethany Longaker in April, 2019.
Absolutely stunning property! The pictures look amazing, however, it’s even better in person. We had a group of three families with children ranging in age from 7-15. The grounds were spacious, with multiple garden and sitting areas to enjoy. The children loved the pool and were in it round the clock, while the adults sipped cava in the hot tub. The villa was gated, which enabled us to relax and not worry about children running off! There was also a sport court and cute little playground just a short walk from the villa. All of the bedrooms were HUGE, beautifully appointed, and en suite. The owners and Ana were wonderful and answered all questions promptly. We hired a private chef, Bruno Bonnier, for the week, and he was amazing! Reasonably priced and worth more than gold! The villa’s location was perfectly placed within easy access to Barcelona, Sitges (wonderful beaches!), and the priorat wine region. We’ve rented villas all over the World, and this one is by far a favorite! Thank you for sharing such a special place!

C’est un tres bel endroit avec de beaux équipements. Un joli mélange de style ancien (murs epais de vielles pierres, bois massifs … et de modernité (certaines chambres et salles de bains) Il y a de nombreux niveaux/escaliers comme souvent dans les villas espagnoles situées dans les collines. Reste toutefois plusieurs petites choses (ampoules HS, pour piles HS dans les telecommandes, taille et qualité des serviettes de toilette, bouteille de gaz vide pour le barbecue, coffre-fort dans certaines chambres inutilisables, cououre de courant lirsqu’on utilise le seche-linge, remontée d’odeur d’egout sur la terrasse …) qui sont difficilement acceptable a ce niveau de prix/prestation. Robert (notre hôte) ete Silvia (le contact sur place) ont été reactifs face a ces problèmes que nous leur avins signalé et on fait intervenir leur homme a tout faire afin qu’il regle certains de ce problemes rapidement Sans ces petis problèmes, notre séjour aurait été parfait.

Ally, UK – August 2017
My family and I (17 adults) had the most amazing holiday staying at Masia Casanova this August. The villa is beautiful, all rooms are a great size and the grounds are extremely well maintained. The outdoor speakers by the pool were unexpected and made for some great day and night time parties! We cooked/ate at the villa most evenings during our stay as we didn’t want to leave! A hire car is highly recommended as the local amenities/nearest towns are a short drive away – sat nav on a phone is also a great idea as it is a little tricky to find. The pictures do not do the villa enough justice, it was fabulous and we will definitely be back!

Without doubt, the centrepiece of the beautiful outside spaces at Masia Casanova is the delightful 15m x 7m salt water swimming pool and Jacuzzi with surrounding sun terraces and lawned area.
