"Mas Blanc": to visit Barcelona in a different way. Your mediterranean refuge with garden and swimming-pool near city centre and the best beaches.

“Mas Blanc” is a large Mediterranean house complete with garden and swimming pool, with luscious forest surroundings in the heart of the Serra de Collserola national park (Barcelona's lungs as locals say), just a stone’s throw away from famous Barcelona and Catalonia ’s popular beaches. Ideally situated and very tranquil, it is especially suited to couples or small families, travelling by car who want to appreciate Barcelona and its surroundings but want to avoid staying in the city centre (easily accessible by public transport). Relax in the peaceful setting of an expansive house with garden and pool. Definitely for those seeking the simple things in life.

Perfect place!

Mas Blanc is just the right size for a couple, it has everything you need and is very clean and comfortable. It is a 5 min drive to the nearest station and then 15-20 mins to the centre of Barcelona, really easy to get to. It is perfect for those city centre days and then has lovely scenic walks on its back doorstep for those peaceful moments. The host Estela was very helpful, giving lots of information about trains to catch and places to see both in the city and also for the nearest beach too. It has been the ideal place to stay and I am sure we will return one day!

Estela was the best. We had a long flight and she accommodated us and allowed us to check in early. The apartment is clean and has everything you need. The bed was comfortable as well. She also provided us with recommendations and advice on everything we asked. She was very responsive when we messaged her. I would stay here again in I make it back to Barcelona. Thank you Estela

Immer wieder gerne!

Wir kommen bestimmt wieder! Die Gastgeber sind super freundlich und Hilfsbereit. Wir haben bei Anreise sofort eine Führung der Unterkunft bekommen. Die Gastgeberin teilte uns wichtige Tipps für den Nahverkehr und für die Umgebung mit. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Die Wohnung hat eine niedlich kleine Küche die aber Top ausgestattet ist. Außerdem super viel Stauraum im Kleiderschrank.

FeWo mit Herz und Charme

Wir (Familie mit 2 Kindern) hatten einen wunderschönen Urlaub bei Estela. Ein kleines, charmantes und sehr gut durchdachtes Urlaubsdomizil. Es fehlte an nichts. Alles was man benötigt ist in der Unterkunft zu finden. Der Pool ist sehr großzügig, um seine Runden zu schwimmen. Estela ist eine wunderbare Gastgeberin, die uns mit viel Herz, Aufmerksamkeit und hilfreichen Tipps zu Ausflügen, den Aufenthalt versüßte. Wir sagen “Herzlichen Dank und Moin Moin aus Hamburg“

Nice place to get in and out of the city

The property had everything we needed and was very clean. Estella was very accommodating, providing good suggestions for things to do and places to go near the Airbnb. You will want a car as the house is in the hills. It is a nice neighborhood so you won't have to worry about a rental car though.

First time to Barcelona

Had a wonderful time at the home of Estella and Jose in Sant Cugat del Vallès. Estella was very helpful in giving me all the insights to properly visit Barcelona and not get into tourist traps. The property was very nice and I felt like a local. You will need a car, as the train station is probably too far away to walk. The pool area was very inviting to relax at after a day visiting the city. Estella was nice enough to provide me with some fresh tomatoes and cucumbers from her garden that I could use as a nutritious snack during the day. Would highly recommend this as a place to stay if you want to live among the locals and have a quiet stay after being in the city.

un séjour inoubliable

Nous avons passé deux semaines splendides. L’ appartement est très fonctionnel au sein d’un magnifique mas et la piscine a ravi petits et grands. Estela et José-Luis ont vraiment été prévenants, disponibles et super sympa, parlant tous les 2 français. L’ environnement est très calme ce qui est appréciable après avoir passé une journée à BCN ! L’accès à la ville est très facile avec une station de train à 10 mn en voiture ce qui vous emmène au cœur de BCN en 20 mn. Un séjour inoubliable et un coup de cœur pour Crèma la chienne des propriétaires qui est adorable 😊 nous y retournerons 😎 Famille Gaillard

Amazing House and hosts in quite surroundings

Perfect location for couples or small famillies that like the lovely Barcelona but also to relax after a hot day in the City. The hosts Estela and José Luis - not forget to mention their lovely dog Crema- are extremly friendly and helpful. You feel very welcome in their home. Would say a car is mandatory as the train towards the City is Down the Hill - 4 km in small Streets and passages. From the station is easy approx 6 stops - around 15 min. Huge recommadation!!

Quiet, peaceful and Clean.

This place is a great little getaway from central Barcelona. Far away enough to relax by pool and enjoy the peace and quiet. Close enough to metro rail and bus to get you to city center in less than 30 mins. Estella and Jose Luis are excellent hosts! They showed us everything we needed to know to get around and even gave us a lift to train station. They are really 2 wonderful people who really take care of their place and their guests. Will return again next year.

12 day visit in May

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely, cosy flat during May. Estella and Jose Luis were wonderful hosts who made us feel welcome and gave us lots of useful tips about where to go and what to do. The flat is small and cosy, but well shaded in the heat and warm in the cool evenings. The outside areas are lovely. It is very well equipped with everything you need. We had a car, which is good because supermarkets and amenities are not nearby, and it is a short drive to the train station for a 20 minute drive into Central Barcelona. The walking in the area is excellent and you can access all the forest trails from the house. Unfortunately the cable TV was not working so we never watched any TV and the internet is too slow for streaming. It is OK for basic mails and google enquiries. Overall it was a relaxing and enjoyable stay with easy access to lovely places in and around Barcelona.

Endroit idéal pour 1 couple avec enfant, piscine impeccable et hôtes chaleureux.

Les vacances au Mas Blanc d'Estela, Jose-Luis et Crema étaient parfaites. Nous étions un couple avec une fille de 7 ans. Le logement est petit, mais juste ce qu'il faut au final. La terrasse extérieure et la piscine nous permettent de profiter de l'extérieur et du coup on ne se sent pas à l'étroit du tout. Estela est très disponible en cas de besoin quel qu'il soit, et a su nous dire comment profiter au mieux de la ville de Barcelone. Il vaut mieux avoir une voiture pour y venir car sinon on peut se rendre à la gare de train en bus mais seulement 1 bus par heure donc un peu embêtant. Il me semble que Jose Luis peut vous faire un service taxi pour vous amener jusqu'à la gare de train si besoin. 5 min en voiture (sur des routes un peu escarpées mais on s'habitue vite), 20 min de train et on est à la place de Catalogne ! Notre fille a adoré s'amuser avec leur chien Crema dès qu'elle le pouvait :-) La piscine est vraiment très au calme, assez bien ensoleillée et très bien entretenue. Bref nous avons passé de très bonnes vacances au Mas Blanc que nous recommandons fortement !

Very nice place. The house is very cousy and the hosts very nice and helpful. It was perfect for us

We were a couple with 2 teen daughters traveling by car, so this house was perfect for us. It feels good after a Barcelona full day arriving here into the nature. From the metro station to the city centre it will only take about 10 to 15 minutes. But, just be sure you have a GPS with you always or you may get lost some times and yes you'll need a car too. Crema, the dog of the house made our girls very happy . So I would definetively recommend this place to future visitors.

Nice play to stay and visit Barcelona and surroundings, e.g. Sitges, Montserrat

Nice couple that are very kind and take care as good hosts. We had excellent weather ( heat wave so early in june). The appartment is cosy with enough space for a couple, though shower and kitchen are a bit small. We like dogs,though we don't have one, but you have to like Crema,the dog. She now likes Dutch cheese.... All the touristic tips are presumed tobe well known, but the appartment is only 15min. by car to Tibidabo mountain, which gives a tremendous sight on Barcelona atnight.But in june you have to wait until 23.00.....
