Description Hidden Hills: Santa Maria de l'Avall

This home in Catalonia benefits from a hillside location with treetop vistas and views of the Catalan Coastal Range. The interiors are a bit basic and could do with a refresh, but we let this one slide due to its private pool, outdoor space and country views. There are four bedrooms and a pull-out couch, but this home only allows six guests, so we think it’s a great base for a group of friends wanting to sprawl out and explore rural Spain. You’re close to local shops and supermarkets, but you’ll have to drive a bit further for beach access, and Barcelona is 30km away.

Home truths:
*The interiors here are a bit dated and may not be to everyone’s taste
*The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times
*Due to the rural location of this home, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay – there’s free covered parking in the garage here
*While the home can sleep up to nine people, the maximum occupancy is six guests
*While not all bathrooms are photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home
*There's no ground-floor bedroom and bathroom here, so this home may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility
*There's a dedicated office desk space here if you need to catch up on some work during your stay
