"Views and pool outside Barcelona"

We had an excellent few days just outside Barcelona. Accommodation was as described and in good condition. Made good use of both the pool area and BBQ. Communication with Catalunya Casas was timely and helpful. Would recommend.

We had a fantastic time in a gorgeous villa outside Barcelona in April 2019. The views were amazing and the booking service provided meant we had a seamless experience with Catalunya Casas.

"Very good experience"

Very good experience.
They are very professional, fast and very kind on treatment.
The instructions to get to the house we rented were very clear and usefull and everything was very carefully thought on their service. Property was very nice, and clean.
We will repeat will them on our next vacation!

"Loved our experience!"

Loved our experience!! We went for my birthday weekend with the girls and stayed at the Castellar del Vallès property. It was such a delight on every level possible. The view is stunning and the house had everything we needed to enjoy our weekend of bliss. Thank you again for our magnificent experience!

"Great experience"

Great experience! We spent an amazing weekend at the Castellar del Vallès home. We had everything we needed for a stay-in time. The house is lovely, with lots of natural lighting, and the view is precious. Would 100% come back.

"We just spent a wonderful girls weekend…"

We just spent a wonderful girls weekend at one of their properties in Castellar del Valles. With a stunning view of the rolling hills, the house offered every comfort and we can’t wait to do it again !

"Catalunya Casas is a great and…"

Catalunya Casas is a great and trustworthy agency. Their service is very prompt and effective.

"Rented a house through Catalunya casas"

We rented a house through Catalunya casas, masia Sant Llorenc ( see review below) and had a very bad experience with them, not only because they did'nt respond well to our complaints, but because they were very rude afterwards in the contact. so this is why the one star review.
Had they been more civilised in their approach to us as customers it would have been 2.

Review for the house(also posted on tripadvisor)

First the positives, the natural park is fantastic and have some great hiking routes, with fantatstic views over the park, and the house is placed perfectly with some good views from the garden.

Now for the house, there are not many positive things to say about the house, we arrived to a house that smelled very bad of mold and fungus, 2 of the livingrooms smelled so bad that we had to close them off, and didn't use them for the entire stay, and we had to go the store and buy airfreshners for the rest of the house.
the coffeemaker in the kitchen had old coffee in it, with mold in the filter.

It's stated that the property is 900 m2, and although that is might be true, only 273 m2 are in the house, and with the 2 useless living rooms, its properly more 240 m2 of usefull space.

The pool skimmerfilter where filled with leaves, we cleaned it ourselfes, and the day after, a guy (Adria, who was really kind and lives in the area) hired by the company came down to help clean the bottom of the pool. For the 10 days we where there we didn't manage to fill the skimmerfilters again, which indicates that it wasn't prepared for us before arrival. we where 16 people 9 adult and 7 kids, but only had 3 sunbeds when we arrived, (Adria came with 2 more) so only 5 sunbeds for 16 people??
We had big issues with wasps living underneath the roof tiles troughout our stay and tried to get catalonya casas to do something about it, (many of us got stung by them, it is really painfull) but on the day of departure it still wasn't fixed. they were there several times from day 3, they promissed several times to come by and remove them, and then did'nt show up.
The outer areas was'ent maintained, it seemed like the entire hosue has been negligted for a while and the only "newer" refurbishment was the kicthen, which was okay. (Beside the mold in the coffeemaker and, not a single sharp knife at all)

The bedrooms where equally bad and one of the beds were filled with mold, we took pictures of the bedsheets after we washed them, where you can still see some of the mold spots.

The quality of the house is very poor, from the smell in the house, to the bathrooms where the glazing on the tiles are pealing off, some of the beds were good to sleep in, but most of them where not.
The number of bathrooms were fine, but only 2 of them where in good condition, and we had issues every second day with the sewage, on the one side of the house we could smell the sewage inside in the bedrooms.

We came down hoping for a wonderful family vacation, and had no intention to be complainers, but the ad for this house is so misleading that we had to file for a partial refund and give this review so that others have the possibility to decide on a more realistic background than we had.
