Great familiar house for 12 people in Olivella , 12 mn from Sitges, Barcelona

We absolutely love this villa - everything about it. The owners have put a lot of effort into making sure that it kept in perfect shape. the area is fabulous - we enjoyed the treks close to the villa and enjoyed visiting Olivella. The beaches of Sitges are very close and a wonderful drive through the vineyards we thoroughly enjoyed. The team at Utopia villas were amazing - they organised a full fridge for us which I would never have thought of and helped us get some great restaurant reservations. I would definitely go back to this villa and I fully recommend booking a villa through utopia villas. Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday. we will be back :-) Matt

We all absolutely loved this house. The owners clearly love it and look after it extremely well. The design and the quality is excellent and we had a wonderful holiday here. We took a number of treks in the Garraf Park when we were there - the restaurant at the end of the road was so good we went back 3 times - once for lunch and twice for dinner. The owner was very friendly. Sitges is a bit more than a 10 minute drive but it is a wonderful drive. We did most of our shopping in the town of Sant Pere de Ribes which is a bit closer than Sitges and we even found lots of shopping and restaurants there too... I would totally recommend this villa and we will definitely go back to Sitges for a holiday. It was one of the best holidays we have had. Thank you Utopia for helping us with so many things such as the chef who was wonderful and the babysitter.. We'll be back :-)

Beautiful house but if you want a quiet neighbourhood, run away! Impossible to have a walk in the streets around the house, each house has at least 2 noisy big agressive dogs. You won't feel safe. And you can't stay in the garden in the evening because of all the dogs in the area shouting one after the other. Unbelievable! We've never known this!

Great villa and would highly recommend going through utopia villas. The only downside was the fact that there is only air con on the top floor and it is really needed throughout the house.

We had a wonderful stay in Villa Leila in September 2011. Villa Leila is spacious?, nicely decorated and well equipped for carefree living. It is located in the mountains in quiet place surrounded by pine trees. Fresh air filled with aroma of pines, great mountain view, swimming pool are good for relaxation and yoga practice. At the same time you may enjoy nightlife of Barcelona and Sitges that can be easily reached by car. I recommend the stay at Villa Leila as a great opportunity to have both types of vacation relaxing or active as your like.

There were six of us in total which included myself , wife and daughters and grandparents . Everything was as advertised and Emilio most helpful both prior to and upon arrival . The location is great with Sitges a 15 minute drive away , Barcelona within one hour (although probably easier to take a train from Sitges) and both Carrefour and Lidl a short drive away for provisions . If you like biking I'd highly recommend taking either a mountain or a road bike as the trails and roads nearby are perfect . I did not and it was a regret . Also as a keen runner I found the roads and trails excellent if a little hilly for my taste . We had an excellent time mainly relaxing at the villa either swimming or evening barbeques . Minor downside is the guard dogs at other villas which seem to bark a lot at night and somewhat spil the tranquility . Overall an excellent place and I'd have no hesitation in staying again or indeed recommending it as a base for a holiday .

We decided to have a European Holiday including my daughters famile (husband and 1 grand child) and sons family (wife and 2 grand children) and my wife and I. Emilio was excellent in answering all questions and providing feed back for some medical conditions of the grand children which thankfully we never had to use. The villa itself is set up very well for large groups or families with pleanty of dishes/glasses/seating area/and space. The upper Balcony area was wonderful to relax on after the children were in bed and to watch the sun set over the mountains while sipping a chillled glass of Sangria. Location of the villa is convient to Stiges but do to its location close to the national forest is very quite and peaceful. Other that the other viall security dogs barking at night the neighborhood is very quite. Would highly recommend the villa for people wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of big city and still have the convience to take a short drive and enjoy the wonderful Mederterain ocean and beaches in Stiges (About 20 minutes away by car) . Many side trips are easily reachable in 45 minutes or less (Barcelloa etc.) but the lcoation allowed our familes time to spend together as a family, Playing with the grand kids, Playing cards with the adults after the kids were in bed. Enjoing family meals all together was really what i found wonderful. If you rented a 3000 foot cabin on a lake somewhere you may get the same bang for your buck but sangria just tastes better when your sitting in Spain. We would definatly do this again in the future. One note due to the elevation the villa temperature and weather can be dramatically different than that on the coast. A nuber of days a light rain was falling at the villa but in Stiges the sun was shing and the temperature 10 degrees warmer. John Woychyshyn and Family June 2011 summer Holidays.

Beautiful villa exactly as advertised. Well appointed with everything you could possibly need. We were a party of 9 (including 3 young grandchildren) and we had plenty of room to spread out. We had an absolutely wonderful vacation.

We were there last autumn in October. The weather was nice, although you can always ask for more sun but only one person is in charge there ! The house was excellent to stay in, a bit difficult to find the first time. We were 2 families 2 x parents, 2 x kids 18 years of age and 2 x kids 15 years of age. The house was excellent because you had room for one family at the top floor(2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom), one family at the lower floor(3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms) and the common room including kitchen and huge Sofa/TV area at the middle floor(1 half bathroom), this way you could stay on your own if you wanted to, but who wanted that with the excellent common room that invited for gathering. The common room was perfect for gathering, the young people was either playing games, reading or watching TV while the adults was cooking while tasting the local wine, all kitchen facilities available. The outside areas was perfect for sun-bathing and taking a dive in the pool(although a bit cold at this time of the year). Also nice barbecue area(but no sun after 15:00 hrs. at the time of year we were there) The owner provided an outstanding service just to e. g. the 4 boys wanted to watch a second football match at Camp Nou(champions league) but could not get tickets, the owner was contacted for help and managed to get us tickets, outstanding service. The house was equipped with central heating and this worked perfect. The house was well maintained and clean upon arrival and we bought the after stay cleaning for a fair price, very convenient. The location of the house was perfect for going into Barcelona(approx. 25-30 min with car or taking the train from Sitges) or going to Sitges(aprrox. 10 min with car) and the excellent beaches and even though we were there in October did the Mediterranean behave with a very nice temperature. Sitges is a very quit, nice and cozy city. Also very good golf courses was very close to the house(one of the families are enthusiastic golf fanatics) There are both nice restaurants in Barcelona and in the nearby city Sitges The overall score for our experience with the houses and the surroundings was perfect but I am sure you would see the full potential of the house better in the summer period(warm pool and better use of the terraces, not so much sun in the autumn)
