Bigues i Riells, Catalonia 08415

Legend has it that water was probably one of the key elements for the repopulation of this nucleus in medieval times and for the birth and subsequent life of the emblematic Masa del Villar , declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest and with traces of later expansions. Well preserved, and today, used successfully for tourism. Its access from the road takes us to a path, where we reach the entrance door of the courtyard of the farmhouse. Its majestic faade with a tower welcomes us and opens the way to its splendid garden with abundant plants, an impressive centenary lime tree and the 15-metre-long swimming pool that has a toilet and changing room. Once at the access door, we enter a wonderful 627m2 built on two floors. On the ground floor of the house we find a large entrance equipped as a living room, a living room, the dining room, a large kitchen and a guest toilet with shower. From the dining room you can access a terrace, behind the house, from which you can see the medieval Tower, with magnificent views of the surroundings. On the upper floor of the house there are six double bedrooms, a single bedroom, two full bathrooms and a guest toilet. In the centre of this floor there is a large central room, typical of large farmhouses, with a living room and dining room. The farmhouse is complemented by a large attic, a garage and a wine cellar. The Masa del Villar is attached to a second house, the Masovera, which consists of a ground floor, first floor and attic. A mill, various warehouses and shed complement the building.
