Historic XVI century beach home near Barcelona with fitness & yoga space

Historic beach house fully renovated with all amenities, located within a 5 minute walk to the beach of Caldes d'Estrac (Caldetas), a small and quiet village by the sea 35 kms north of Barcelona.

The house - with 400 square meters of space - has 5 large bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 2 guest bathrooms, 2 spacious living areas, a large dining room that can accommodate up to 10 people comfortably, kitchen with dining area and an enclosed and pleasant courtyard with a salt water pool . The property has a 100 m2 area devoted to fitness and yoga, a space perfect for wellness retreats. Note that in April of 2022 bedrooms 2 to 5 were upgraded and equipped with 180 cm x 200 cm organic hand-made mattresses by the UK bed manufacturer NaturalMat. Master bedroom is already equipped with 200 cm x 200 cms organic mattress (model Corpus Prestige) by French natural bed manufacturer Treca.

This house is especially tailored for families and small groups looking for a peaceful retreat. No parties are allowed and the maximum capacity is strictly limited to 10 people.

The official origins of this property (named "Can Sans" after one of the most prominent families that owned it) go back to the middle of the 1500's. Can Sans is well maintained thanks to several renovations that have taken place throughout its history, the last one taking place in early 2022. The property is located in the oldest part of the village where fishermen and winemakers once lived. During the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) Can Sans served as the Embassy for Costa Rica during the bombings that took place in Barcelona that forced many embassies to relocate outside the city (Caldetas had the status at that time of "war free" town).

The neighbourhood is very quiet so if you are looking for peace and privacy this is your perfect destination. In this house you will have a feeling of utter relaxation. The slow pace and the presence of the sea just within a few minutes walk from the house set the tone for a perfect vacation. The thick walls isolate the house from any noise and maintain the space very fresh during the summer.

Caldes d' Estrac (known by the locals as "Caldetas") has always been known for being a spa town where the bourgeois Catalan class spent their summers in the late XIX century. The village - with around 1,000 inhabitants - is protected by the coastal mountain range which runs parallel to the coast, and enjoys a beautiful weather, with mild summers and winters. Just walking around and exploring the narrow streets is one of the best things to do in Caldetas. There is a small museum, called Fundacio Palau, which exhibits some works from Picasso. There is also a thermal bathhouse in the town center. There are also many little restaurants down the main strip, where you will find the majority of them - a mix of seafood, rustic Catalan, tapas, a cozy pizza place (Pizzeria Estrac) as well as small cafes and bars. Like in most Spanish small towns, there is also a central market on the main street, which has different sections for fresh meat, vegetables, fruits, cheese and fresh seafood.

The best part of Caldetas is the beach. There isn’t much better thing to do than waking up on a bright, sunny summer day and throwing on your bathing suit, walking 3 minutes down the hill and setting yourself up in the sand for the day.

There is available free street parking just a few meters from the house (we will provide you with resident stickers). You can choose to park you car and never use it during your stay since grocery stores, restaurants, beach, train station and main points of interest are within a 3/5 minute walk. The train station is within a 3 minute walk and will allow you to take the train to visit Barcelona (only 45 minutes away) and enjoy while you ride the pleasant views of the northern coastline of Barcelona.

Beautifully restored house in old town
We had a fantastic stay at Patxi’s deceptively spacious home in Caldes D’Estrac. The rooms are spacious, meticulously restored with great taste. The courtyard garden is compact and overshadowed, but a great escape from the heat and well laid out with small pool, sofa area and table for 12. A large group of teens and my wife and I loved it.

Very nice vacation with family
Enjoyed our lovely vacation in a really great refurbished/renovated and decorated house. Very quiet, but central, close/walking distance to the beach. Fully equipped, we did not miss anything, spacious rooms, pool nice to get a quick refreshment. Hosts easy and always reachable. We would come back and can highly recommend the wonderful house.

Un Paraíso A Paradise Un petit Paradis a 40 min de Barcelona
Hemos disfrutado de una casa excepcional, histórica, en el núcleo antiguo de Caldetas, remodelada al estilo nórdico. Espaciosa, racional, muy bien equipada, camas excelentes, ventiladores de madera silenciosos en todas las estancias. Un patio-jardín lleno de arbustos y flores, y una pequeña piscina de agua salada, deliciosa. Un oasis de tranquilidad en pleno mes de agosto. La cocina, insuperable. La decoración de un gusto exquisito, sin excesos, se corresponde con los anfitriones, Patxi y Carol, que nos han facilitado en todo momento la llegada y estancia, denotan haber vivido en países civilizados y han respondido a todas nuestras dudas, cambios de horarios, necesidades. A 5 minutos a pie de la playa, por unas escaleras de vistas preciosas, o a 10 minutos por las callejuelas del pueblo costero. We have just enjoyed an exceptional, historic house on the top of the ancient village of Caldetas, refurbished in a Nordic style. Spacious, rational, very well equipped, excellent beds, quiet wood ventilators in all the stays. A patio-garden full of trees, flowers and a small swimming pool with salt water, delicious. A tranquillity oasis in the heat of month of August ! The kitchen, insurmountable. The decoration of an exquisite taste, without excesses, corresponds with the hosts, Patxi & Carol, who have facilitated us at any moment our arrival and stay, a couple that denotes to have lived in very civilized countries and that has responded all to our doubts, changes of schedules, necessities. And really located at 5 minutes walking distance to the beach, by stairs with a superb view, or 10 minutes by the small streets of the old town. Nous venons d’un séjour magnifique dans une maison exceptionnelle, historique, située en haut du noyau ancien du village de Caldetas.

Décorée avec un gout exquis, sans excès, la maison ressemble les propriétaires, qui en tout moment ont rendu facile notre arrivée et séjour, un couple qui, à l’évidence, a vécu dans des pays civilisés y qui a donné réponse à tous nos doutes, demandes, changement d’horaires, besoins. Située à 5 minutes à pied de la plage par des escaliers de belles vues ou 10 min par les ruelles du village.
