El Torre

Historic and Exceptional holiday home in Catalonia, Spain. A tower has been restored and made into a “one of a kind” holiday retreat for 12+2guests

El Torre is a unique property with a solid history. The tower dates from the 13th century and early used as a monitoring point to the nearby village. In connection with the tower there are 4 acres of ground with grazing cows, which contributes to a brilliantly authentic experience. Withdrawn from the tower is an associated building, which was used by those who watched the area. The swimming pool and football pitch is shared with the other house (El Masia Torre).

The tower has been completely restored over time and today it stands as a really exceptional holiday home. El Torre has room for 12 +2 guests and has 6 bedrooms (one is a room with bunk beds) and 4 bathrooms. To understand the construction the pictures appear in sequence moving up through the El Torre.

From here you enter a kitchen that is equipped with fridge, oven and microwave and dishwasher. There is also a seating area whith a TV. From here there is access to a superb terrace where you can sit and enjoy your morning coffee. On this floor is also a bathroom. From the opend dining & living area, you can move two steps down, where there are two bedrooms (one triple room and one double room). Back on main floor there is also a room with an antique game table and the room is decorated in a good old knight style (the knight of the round table).

From the main floor, you can move up the tower via a beautiful staircase. Five steps up you will come into another living area with beautiful cutouts in the shutters. The living room has a dining table, sofa corner and from here you can walk out to a small terrace from where the spectacular scenery can be enjoyed at your leisure. Few steps up, there is another kitchen with cooker fridge / freezer and dishwasher. 6 steps up you enter a library with a sofa and a computer with internet connection.
