“After 14 years of painstaking renovation works, the beautiful 17th Century Masia Mas Santo has been meticulously tranformed into a luxury holiday house and event venue.”
This majestic manor house nestles on a peaceful hilltop in the famous Penedes wine region and offers wonderful views across the Catalan countryside and out to the deep blue Mediterranean sea in the distance. This tranquil haven has more than 300 acres of private grounds with vineyards, olive groves and fruit trees, yet is only a 45-minute drive from Barcelona airport, 20 minutes from the lively seaside resort of Sitges and just 5 minutes from the beach.
Dating back to 1608, Masia Mas Santo consists of the main house, an annex and a suite offering attractive and comfortable accommodation for groups of up to 28 guests. Though totally renovated and adapted to a high standard of modern comfort, the original details have been lovingly preserved with terracotta tiled floors, white washed walls, exposed stone and wooden windows.

Villa in a quiet location. Very impressive and definitely worth a visit! The rooms were beautiful and the garden perhaps even more beautiful. Lots of nice corners to relax and enough space for large groups. Recommended!!
“We can definitely recommend.”

We were a group of 30 people and really enjoyed the time at Mas Santo. The property is very big and very good for large groups. The pool is huge and the rooms are also very nice. The kitchen is nice equipped with 2 dish washers and 3 fridges. We can definitely recommend.

We were due to get married at Mas Santo in June 2020 but unfortunately had to cancel due to the pandemic. Carmen was very flexible in helping us find a date to rearrange for a family holiday and we stayed in Aug this year. The house is in a great location and Carmen was very responsive in answering our queries about the local area. The house has everything you need for a big group and is very clean- we spent a lovely week there with very special memories made. We hope to return again one day.

We spent a fantastic 5 days at Mas Santo, where we also hosted our wedding. The property is gorgeous - lovely traditional details but with comfortable, modern interiors. The grounds and pool area are also lovely, the outdoor kitchen meant it was easy to cater for large groups and to have evening BBQs. Only downside was that there was very little hot water - probably down to the fact we were a large group but not ideal.
The property is ideally located just 35 minutes from Barcelona so was easily accessible for all our guests. Sitges is 20 minutes away and there are plenty of supermarkets within a short drive of the property, saying that, a car is essential.
We hosted our wedding during the stay, for which we paid an additional event fee. It is a fantastic location for a laid back wedding, but anyone booking should be aware that you are only allowed to work with a limited number of ‘approved’ caterers, the details for which you will not receive until after booking. This was a little problematic initially as several of the quotes I received were very high, however we eventually worked with Chef Bruno of Food Love Barcelona who was really fantastic. In terms of wedding planning, it’s quite challenging to work with the property manager, who wanted us to have a wedding planner - quotes for this were around 2k and so we did it ourselves in the end, but in all honesty it was not always an easy process communicating with the property manager, and there are several restrictions in place to be aware of - no confetti, late night music etc.
Aside from this, the whole stay was brilliant. We had our deposit returned very promptly and any issues we had on-site were rectified quickly. When we arrived there were not enough tea cups and the next day a large box arrived, the on-site property manager also helped us with a few on-site queries and came to the villa each day to see that everything was ok so we felt well looked after.
I would absolutely recommend this lovely property to anyone looking for a comfortable villa with lots of character for a large group.

“A great stay”
Reviewed by Pallavi G. London in October, 2019.
We had a lovely family break at the villa, which included a post-wedding party. The villa is beautiful (just as advertised) with lots of space for family and children. The villa is also set-up securely for children to run and play. We were easily able to host dinners for 20 people with the facilities available and formally organised an event for 65 people through Carmen’s supplier list. Carmen was very responsive from the start of the process, answering questions about facilities, suppliers and her own personal recommendations. She has a full time groundskeeper who is excellent. We would definitely recommend staying in the villa!

Reviewed by Daniel Kraft in June 2018.
It is a beautiful, historic villa with modern and luxurious amenities – an ideal venue for either a relaxing vacation with a large group or a larger event such as a wedding. The property and villa afford a great deal of privacy, but is close to Sitges and Barcelona. It is a wonderful event location and Carmen introduced us to our wedding planner and did everything she could to help make our event a success. We would go back any time for a vacation and it was a perfect location for our wedding.

Serenity is what I felt as soon as I arrived at Mas Santo. There are so many different angles, rooms and spots at the terrain that it is easy to relax. I enjoyed some time by myself, it is completely quiet. The nature is amazing. Even at the hillside herbs and flowers are growing everywhere! Carmen and Fares were wonderful hosts and the food was delicious with pure ingredients. I am looking forward to coming here again!
“Fantastic Villa for large groups”
Reviewed on July 17, 2015 by Charlie.B
We had an amazing time at Mas Santo which is in a brilliant setting in the hills above Cunit. Although not in the best location for getting to beaches, it was a perfect villa for a big group of us (23 people) – with all the facilities we needed and with beds to spare. The villa has a huge kitchen with everything you need, and a great pool area with plenty of chairs and table space for enjoying long lazy meals. Carmen (the owner) has been very helpful and prompt at returning our deposit. Meno (the caretaker) is also great and thoroughly willing to assist if needs be. I would highly recommend Mas Santo for any large group.

As a company we wanted a location for our anNual work/meet with our international partners close to Barcelona. As we learned from others about your villa, we decided to have this week at Mas Santo. We’ve had a fantastic week filled with a combination of relaxation and work. One of our partners is even planning to book a holiday with her family this year. Again, thank you so much. Alexandra
The outside spaces at Masia Mas Santo are a delight. The front of the property has a large courtyard area providing an excellent space for outdoor events and dining for large groups of up to 80 people. There is also a spacious lounge area, outdoor kitchen and BBQ as well as several private chill-out zones for quiet contemplation time.
The grounds of Masia Mas Santo stretch to over 50,000 sqm of native vegitation offering the space to wander and relax. There are beautiful mountain views and glimpses of the sea to enjoy from all around the property as you explore the grounds. For those that need to stay connected there is 3G WiFi internet coverage of the whole grounds and outside spaces.
The centrepiece of the gardens is the wonderful 20m x 8m saline swimming pool. After a swim you can relax on one of the plentiful sun beds that surround the pool and enjoy the fantastic countryside views. Alternatively, doze the afternoon away in a shady corner.
If you can drag yourself from the wonderful pool you'll find so much to experience and enjoy in the local area for all members of the party. For a start there are the numerous fantastic sandy beaches of the Costa Dorada just 5 minutes away.
Visit the many excellent small local wineries close to the Masia. Torres, Finca Viladellops and Torre del Veguer are close by as are the legendary Cava Houses of Freixenet and Cordoniu.

There is a choice of theme parks and attractions within an hour drive including Port Aventura, one of the biggest in Europe. Andorra, Girona and France are all within day trip distance.
The charming narrow streets of Sitges old town are packed full of bars and restaurants offering great cuisine and a laid back ambience. Stroll down to the seafront and take your pick from one of the many alfresco eateries. Not ready to go home yet? Don't worry, the nightclubs are legendary. In the summer there are often festivals and fireworks for a splash of local colour and culture.
The less touristy coastal town of Vilanova is another option for the evening with some good beach bars and restaurants along its attractive seafront. The delights of Barcelona are also within reach for an evening out. The city hosts many world-class music, cultural and sports events all year round.
For those looking for more energetic distractions the nearby Mediterranean coast with its golden sandy beaches offers unlimited opportunities for water based sports like jetskis, para sailing, kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkelling, surfing and more. There are also sports marinas at both Sitges and Vilanova for boat rentals and fishing charters.
The Garraf Natural Park is close by and provides hundreds of kilometres of fantastic hiking, mountain bike and horse riding trails to enjoy. There are tennis clubs and several good golf courses in the area.
Masia Mas Santo has the space and amenities to make the ideal venue for any celebration or event. The attractive courtyard area is perfect for large gatherings, parties and wedding dinners with seating space for up to 120 guests.
