Photos conforment à la réalité ! Une villa exceptionnelle, confortable, très propre, et bien équipée. Une zone chill-out proche de la piscine également très bien équipée. Charles et Alexandra ont tout fait pour que nous célébrions mes 40 ans dans les meilleures conditions possibles. Je recommande fortement. Mes amis et moi avons passé un séjour extra!

Don't hesitate to book this place! Excellent for families, having the biggest pool we have ever had at a holiday house! Outside eating & cooking area was brilliant. All rooms lovely with essential aircon. Beautiful place & area. Amenities close by. Very helpful owners. Many thanks for a lovely stay.

The Villa and all the surrounding are fabulous. I have organized the 40th birthday of my boyfriend, there were 22 of us, and everyone was very comfortable in their privates rooms. The villa has all the facilities that you need, is very clean and very well decorated (and have 3 kitchens that make all the preparation for the big party easier). Almost all the time we have spend outside in the swimming pool area (we were cooking in the garden kitchen, having bbq and just lots of fun during the day and night in the chill out outside area, that is very big). All the guests were impressed with the place, if you want to have a really luxury holiday or you want to impress your guests this is the place for you! And swimming pool is just huge, I have never seen any villa with that big private pool.

We had a great time - Charles and Alexandra were great hosts and the property is really nice. We spent a lot of time with the kids in the pool and there are 2 separate apts/guest houses that are great if you have a family that wants some space - each one is 2 bedrooms and one has its own kitchen. The outside pool areas was fabulous and we grilled and ate many of our meals outside.

We look forward to returning!!

Is what is says on the tin. We stayed for 7 days, enjoyed ourselves, and would return.

The house itself was a beautiful Catalan/ Spanish house but kitted out with modern kitchen, pool, and bathrooms - a rarity according to locals we spoke with.

If you are considering staying here, one perk that is not listed in the description is access to Edva the personal chef (for a fee). Her and her team went way beyond expectations providing us the highest quality of meals while walking us through the significance and history of each dish. We planned to have her team cook for two nights for our large group, but ended up hiring them for a third.

Having watched the video and looked at the photo gallery many times before our holiday we were amazed when we first walked in, it exceeded all of our expectations.

Villa Palmera has the perfect lay out for a large party, plenty of separate spaces to live comfortably with each other. We spent two weeks here and we loved every minute, the rooms are very large and beautifully decorated.

The Villa has a lovely homely feeling to it and a lovely place to relax - we never wanted to go out!

Charles and Alexandra were very helpful and accommodating and always very quick to respond. They gave us lots of information about the surrounding area, we loved the location it was very private but not to far away from local towns and supermarkets.

So many happy memories made in beautiful surroundings, we could of stayed there forever!

We booked the villa for a 40th birthday celebration. The villa was perfect in every way. Large and spacious rooms, beautiful grounds and great to have the outside kitchen given we were blessed with a week of non-stop sunshine! Charles and Alexandra couldn't have been better hosts.

We rented Villa Palmera for a friend's 30th birthday celebration with ~20 guests and had a great time. Communication ahead of our arrival was great and they were more than helpful with any queries we had. Check-in itself was with the owner and he did a very good job to ensure we had a full overview of the villa and all the amenities (and even offered Cava welcome drinks!)

The villa itself is much better than the pics give it credit for, rooms are great and it does indeed sleep 22 comfortably.

Would definitively recommend this for anyone looking at renting a quiet, tranquil place outside of the hustle and bustle of Barcelona (30mins drive from airport / only downside is practically non-existent public transportation alternatives)

From the moment we walked in, the villa was like a dream!

The pool & its "living area" was quite sublime, often pools can disappoint, but not this one.

The house is beautifully designed, spacious & contemporary. Bedrooms were equipped with excellent storage, high quality beds, quiet air con & fans if needed.

Bathrooms were of a boutique hotel standard.

Charles & Alex went to great lengths to provide information on restaurants, supermarkets, & even phoned for a doctors appointment when illness arose.

Our 3 families had a fantastic stay at villa Palmera, only wished we lived there!

We have just returned from a fabulous stay here. The villa is beautiful and the outdoor living area makes it extra special. It has a fully fitted outdoor kitchen including oven hob and fridge freezer, lounge area and bar seating area with bar stools. We were hardly inside !! The pool is huge and we spent many hours, day and evening, in the pool.

The setting is stunning, although mosquitos are a plenty, be sure to take plenty of strong repellent. You do need a car as supermarkets and beaches ect are a short drive away. Sitges is lovely with clean beaches and a great choice of restaurants and bars. The harbour is well worth a visit too, especially for dinner.

We would highly recommend this villa and the only suggestions for improvement that we noted were that we would have preferred more cleaning provided ( cleaners come once per week and change towels, bedding and clean ). We would have preferred maybe 2/3 times per week, just for the cleaning not the bedding change. This is just personal choice though.

You will not be disappointed with this villa !!

Charles and Alex were extremely helpful before, during and after our stay at Villa Palmera. They helped us organise chefs, restaurants and grocery deliveries. We had one small accident whilst at the villa and Charles was very quick to respond and extremely helpful.

The outside area of the villa was the main attraction for us: The pool was big and the perfect temperature to be both refreshing but warm enough for the children to stay in for hours. The outdoor kitchen and living area was great for pool side relaxation and lunches. The chef, Natasja, also cooked 2 amazing dinners for us by the pool.

We booked the whole villa which included the new garden room and the separate 2 bed annex with a kitchenette. We didn't end up using the 2 bed annex with the kitchen for various reasons but the second bedroom in there doesn't have air-con. The villa itself is quirky and well loved. It felt like a home away from home. The large living and dining room was very sociable, the kitchen was well equipped but could have done with some large water glasses. We had a few nights where we were woken up by the neighbours dogs barking but apart from that it was quiet.

We went into Sitges on two evening: one evening we went to Queenz for their dinner cabaret show which was absolutely hilarious. We had a fantastic meal at a restaurant Charles recommended called Carnivor by Valenti.

We had a lovely family holiday at Villa Palmera with 8 adults, 3 children and baby (age range 8months to 67 years old!)

We found the property very comfortable and plenty of things to do, in particular for the children The barbecue outside was excellent The only thing that troubled us was the mosquito

We had a after wedding celebration there with 20ish friends and family. Everyone loved the place and had a blast!

Beautiful villa in gorgeous surroundings, excellent for large families and groups. Fitted out with all mod cons and the owners are extremely professional. The recommended drivers were punctual and delivered excellent service therefore easy to get into Barcelona or Sitges whilst being secluded. We had an excellent holiday and if you need anything during your stay the owners are easy to reach and reply immediately. Highly recommended.

This is a lovely property, we had an amazing time and this villa is perfect for families and large groups. The owners are wonderful and extremely professional. They recommended local drivers who were also excellent and punctual. Great location as very secluded however only 20 minutes from Sitges and 50 minutes from Barcelona if you need to be out and about or if you prefer lounging around the pool area its perfect for this also. There are caterers you can hire to cook your meals alternatively you can use the villas amazing facilities which are all equipped with all modern appliances.

There were a couple of things we needed done whilst we were there and one email to the owners and they were all sorted. Excellent service.

AMAZING week in a lovely villa and area, highly recommended!!

Thank you.

Fantastic house, the perfect place to celebrate a anniversary!

Last summer (2015) we celebrated my 50th birthday party with a large group of friends and we had a great time in Villa Palmera.

In a few words an amazing beautiful property. We were more than happy with the high standards of the villa and fantastic outdoor space with its large pool and garden. We spend many hours at the pool area and covered terrace with bar. The villa is stylishly decorated and has all you need. The manager was more than accommodating and attentive to any needs we had.

For two evenings we arranged a chef and one evening we had catering. Great quality food, delicious and surprising. The people involved very helpful and friendly, all the wishes we had were fulfilled! They prepared the biggest and most beautiful birthday cake ever!

I would happily recommend this villa and we all would love to stay again.

For sure we are coming back.

We invited our 3 children with their children for a 2 weeks holiday and we had an amazing time. Villa Palmera did meet our expectations and more! We researched a lot of homes before choosing and we made the perfect choise. All the menbers of the family do frequently ask we could go back!

The house is a great place for adults and children with it´s large pool and garden. Meanwhile the children had fun in the enormous pool or playing in the garden with plenty of things to enjoy (trampoline, tree house, football ground and table-tennis), the adults entertained themselves in the sunshine or at the covered terrace with complete kitchen and bar.

Having an outside kitchen as well is really fantastic and makes cooking a joy and we used both kitchens a lot for lazy lunches and dinners. Everything we needed to cook for a party of 14 was there.

The house is close to Sitges and St. Pere de Ribes and has a lot of privacy. At walking distance from the house you can make endless walks in the beautiful parque the Garraf!

As it was our first time in the area, we were pleased by the warm welcome of the owner, who showed us the house and provided us with plenty of information about the area.

Thank you for the excellent home and for sure we will meet again.

Anna and family.

We rented Villa Palmera for 2 weeks. We spend our holidays with 3 families and our kids and we had the most wonderful time. The house is very spacious with high quality finishing, a beautiful large living area with and open plan kitchen and large comfortable rooms with great beds. The kitchen is very pleasant and we loved the professional coffee machine (great tasty coffee). The garden is fantastic for parents and kids and the large pool is amazing. There is many things to do for kids, so the parents really could relax. The children had played for hours is the pool, which is nearly Olympic size or had fun playing in the garden. My boys loved the tree house and they played for hours at the trampoline and my daughter organized a soccer and table-tennis tournament with the parents. In short this house is a paradise for kids, and parents as we really had time for reading a book or just doing nothing!

The house is about 12 minutes by car from Sitges which is a very beautiful nice little town with lovely beaches and restaurants. We really do recommend Villa Palmera for your holiday.

A great villa for large families or families who vacation together. The pool and lounge area is absolutely stunning with a fully equipped kitchen. The villa is in a quiet area and it is a short drive to Sitges. Perfect place to combine with a city break in Barcelona in advance or after the stay. Alex and Charles are professional landlords and are good at following up, making sure you have a good stay. The house is recommended.
