Welcome

A wine estate held by one family

Villa Catalina, also known as Villa Almanita, is a restored Catalan wine-estate mansion near Sitges with a courtyard for ceremonies, a 200-year-old bodega for dancing and 24 bedrooms, all taken for exclusive use.

Built in 1779 as a wine-making estate by a family of woodworkers, the mansion stayed in the same family for more than two centuries. Now restored, it stands in 32 hectares of private grounds and vineyards in the hills of Sant Pere de Ribes, close to the beaches of Sitges but with no neighbours in sight.
