Quick Take: A gorgeous, high-design farmhouse that feels like a private estate, unless there's a wedding taking over the garden.
Reviewed by @theboutiqueadventurer: I was totally blown away by this place. The design is just stunning—soft oaks and greens that make you want to redecorate your own home. Plus, the food was fantastic since it's owned by a restaurant group. It’s the perfect quiet escape near Barcelona.
