Hotel Cal Mestre

A small friendly hotel in Cataluna

Originally designed as a country house in the 16th century, Cal Mestre is the second oldest building in the picturesque hamlet of Les Gunyoles, in the province of Barcelona. Visitors will delight in the spectacular views looking over a valley of vineyards from which the renowned Penedès wine is produced.

Beyond that, there are the unique, rugged peaks of Montserrat. Here there are so many different aspects for you to enjoy: the peace and quiet of the beautiful Catalan countryside, culture, the fascinating city of Barcelona with its outstanding architecture and boulevards, the old Roman city of Tarragona, sports activities, beaches and all the gastronomic delights of Mediterranean cuisine.

Cal Mestre has three guestrooms and a self-catering apartment, each with its own simple elegance and a stunning view. Comfortable beds ensure a good night´s rest and all rooms are equipped with spacious, modern bathrooms. The apartment is on two separate levels with it's own private entrance. There is room to swim, sunbathe, enjoy the view, read, chat, or simply relax on a variety of terraces or in the gazebo. On cooler evenings, guests are made to feel at home in the comfortable lounge with its cosy fireplace and a small library of books. The recently-installed saunas (one Finnish cabin and one infra-red) in the old bodega are available to guests at a nominal charge.

In keeping with the relaxed atmosphere of the hotel, the bar is self-service, and if no-one is around, just make a note of your drinks on the pad.

This is an ideal location to visit the dramatic city of Barcelona and yet to return at night to sleep in the tranquility of a peaceful village. In 2009 it will be possible to appreciate the quiet atmosphere even more through special yoga weekends which Marian is organising. Martin and Marian created Cal Mestre as their own little dream-come-true, to fashion a lovely comfortable house that they could share with you.

Restaurant:

There isn't a restaurant as such, but snacks are available on request and twice a week dinner is available in true ´table d´hote´ style (= "eating with the family") which all adds to the homely atmosphere of Cal Mestre. Martin and Marian take pride in their large home-cooked breakfasts. If you need a restaurant recommendation, they are happy to tell you about the various choices in the neighbourhood.
