Mas Figueres: We stayed in this house for 2 nights and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Situated in the heart of the vineyards in Marca, this 7 bedroom house is run by Paco and Quima, two very gracious and attentive hosts. The house has an outdoor patio perfect for enjoying a summer meal, a pool and a bbq. www.masfigueres.com

Perxe: Located in El Molar, this is a quaint small house with 6 bedrooms, a celler and a library. We stayed here in 2005 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This is definitely a location for those who love wine and don’t mind being in a quaint little town where walks along the dustry streets at night are accompanied by a blanket of stars. Website is only available in Spanish, Catalan or French at www.perxe.com but you can email in English at info@perxe.es or email info@perxe.com

La Icona del Pont Vell: Located in Porrera, this 18th century house has been restored and includes  1 quatruple, 1 triple and one double room. This is also one of a handful of locations with a wine spa. Website is only available in Spanish and is a less than ideal to maneauver. http://www.laicona.com/ or email at info@laicona.com

Cal Compte: On the last day of our stay in Monsant, we visited this incredible house which has been restored over the course of a decade. There are several individual apartments equipped with a kitchen, suites for families or groups of friends, or double rooms – perfect for a romantic getaway. This house is handicap friendly, has Wifi, and has several terraces which overlook the vineyards. The owners, working in both tourism and olive oil, are more than capable of helping you plan your day, whether it be touring famous historical sites or a wine route. This house is a must see. www.calcompte.com or email at info@calcompte.com
