The house

320 m² of stone and wood, restored by local hands. Rented whole, set in a 40-hectare estate with our own vineyard.

The story

A house with history

Records of Canadell go back to 1398. It has been a stable, a hayloft, an attic for drying corn and, above all, a home. Several generations of the same family have lived here — ours.

In 2022 we decided to restore it. Slowly, with local materials and local hands. A few years later, we welcome guests.

The spirit

A quiet house

There's a TV in the living room, a fireplace, a table that seats ten and windows framed onto the landscape.

In the kitchen, everything you need: generous countertops, hob, oven and dishwasher. Heating in winter, air conditioning in summer, wi-fi throughout and a speaker if you want music. The smart TV is in the rooms.

A whole floor to enjoy

Beneath the house, the old stone cellar has become a leisure area: billiards, table tennis, darts and a small gym. Alongside, the barbecue and a vaulted hall for meals with the whole group.
