Villa Ripoll

The villa

Set amid the rolling green hills of Ripoll, Villa Ripoll is a 14th - century Catalan farmhouse reimagined as a soulful boutique retreat. Here, centuries - old stone walls and timber beams frame a warm, lived - in elegance—where vintage records spin in the lounge and the scent of woodsmoke mingles with crisp mountain air. Just a short drive from Ripoll’s historic heart, the property offers a serene, slow - living escape immersed in nature.

Lovingly restored by interior designer and chef Eva Arbonés, the farmhouse blends rustic textures with contemporary craftsmanship. Each of the six thoughtfully curated rooms—ranging from the romantic Heura Suite to the spacious Romaní apartment—features natural linen bedding, waterfall showers, and expansive views over the Catalan landscape. Communal spaces invite connection and calm: sip vermouth by the open fire, flip through vintage vinyl, or relax by the saltwater pool. For families, the self - contained Casa Petita apartment offers a stylish, family - friendly retreat.

Days at Villa Ripoll unfold gently. Mornings begin with a nourishing breakfast of garden fruit, local cheese, and fresh eggs from the resident hens (please see Ts&Cs) . Guests might explore forest trails by e - bike, visit Ripoll’s Romanesque monastery, or melt into the open - air hot tub after a massage. As evening falls, Eva crafts seasonal dinners sourced from nearby farms, enjoyed al fresco or beside the farmhouse’s old stone well.

Whether you're seeking a romantic escape, a creative reset, or simply space to breathe, Villa Ripoll offers a rare kind of comfort—one that feels both timeless and deeply personal.
