Mas Grimosach, a farmhouse in a biodynamic winery, Penedès

Mas Grimosach, an 18th-Century Masia in a Biodynamic Winery Estate, Penedès

This home was carefully restored to preserve its original Catalan character—stone walls, traditional proportions, the unhurried quality that belongs to a building that has stood for three centuries. Nudeinterior layered this structure with natural textiles, vintage finds, and a palette that echoes the landscape outside.

Two living rooms anchor the interior: one looks out over the vineyards, the other contains the television and is the home's more private retreat. The kitchen is fully equipped for long, slow meals in. Natural light moves through the rooms in a way that changes with the seasons.

A pool sits within the vineyards, overlooking the rows of Xarel·lo and Macabeo vines. A covered terrace and an outdoor dining area are set up for the long Mediterranean evenings that define this part of Catalonia. The views take in the estate and, in the distance, the monastery of Sant Sebastià dels Gorgs. The surrounding land (30 hectares of forest, vines, and open sky) is yours to walk.

What we love

Wake up to birdsong and uninterrupted views over the Penedès—no neighbors, no noise, just vines. Long lunches stretch into longer dinners on the terrace, and the pool looks out over the estate at sunset. When you're ready, Eudald Massana's winery is right there. Nine generations of biodynamic farming, and they'll walk you through every bottle.

Layout

This vacation home for rent in Penedès, Catalonia, sleeps up to four guests. The house is arranged across two floors. The ground floor holds the kitchen, two living rooms, and direct access to the terrace and pool. Two double bedrooms, each with a king bed, share the upper level. There are two bathrooms.

Experiences

Good to know

A car is essential for exploring the region, though the village of Sant Pau d'Ordal is walkable from the estate. The winery shop, stocked with Eudald Massana wines and cavas, is on the estate and open to guests throughout the stay.

Around

Sant Pau d'Ordal is a small village of fewer than a thousand people, but it punches well above its weight gastronomically. Cal Xim, on the village square a short walk from the estate, holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand: seasonal Catalan cooking, charcoal-grilled artichokes, and a wine list that champions the surrounding vineyards. Cal Pere del Maset, also Michelin-listed, is nearby. The monastery of Montserrat, the mountain sanctuary carved into serrated rock above the plain, is around 30 minutes by car. Sitges and the coast are 25 minutes in the other direction.
