The garden is excellent for ball games and has many shady corners, and the big pool area with a big swimming pool of 12 meters x 6 meters, is excellent for relaxation and a swim on a warm Catalan summer day.
The holiday homes
The names of the two grandfathers Manel and Joan are used to separate them. They are both beautiful houses in authentic Catalan limestone style, and have never been for rent before, so it is a fantastic and unique opportunity, that it is now possible to rent these beautiful houses.

CELEBRATIONS - MUSIC:
The house has nearby neighbours, so music or other loud behaviour is prohibited of respect for the neighbours. If you just come for a relaxed holiday, it is not a prolem, if just to limit music to be played inside.
However, if you are considering some kind of Celebration (Birthday, Wedding etc.) we can offer you a Hall for Celebrations called LA SALA DE MASIA LAGOSTEA, beautifully sitauted in the vinyeards, only 15 minutes by car from the holiday home. We can help organising food, drinks and transport.
ENJOY BEACH, WINE AND BARCELONA!
The house is perfectly situated for exploring some of the best features of Catalonia. The beach is just a moment away in Calafell (9 km.), where you find the most beautiful sandy beach, and of course a selection of restaurants and bars. You can also find restaurants and shopping even closer in El Vendrell (6 km.) and a very local restaurant 3 km. from the house only.
You will stay in the Penedés wine district, surrounded by vinyards, and with endless bodegas offering visits. The owners are also wine producers, and they can also organise a tasting in the house as well as a paella night, where they make a show-cooking of paella, so you can both learn and taste. They offer a dinner (or lunch) package, where also drinks are included.
The obvious city to visit is of course Barcelona, which is also fantastic city. You can get there in less than an hour by car, or you can take the train. We will also recommend locally the town Vilafranca del Penedés (especially the Saturday market is nice) and then Tarragona with it beautiful roman amphi theatre and antique town centre. Please also request our activity document for the area, offering more inspiration as well as indication of where you find the local tourist offices.
