The Vi l'Art Wine Lodge was chosen to us due to the location and extremely good rating, place is and 1800's country house close to Cava region and Barcelona. Montserrat is easily accessed from here. Also great hiking areas are just nearby. Hosts Laura and Lalo are keeping the place in great shape, the food they make is great and the service level is something totally else than what you can wait. Lalo is a great cook and the vine's they chose to the meals were so good! We were there during hot season, but the location close to the hills and how they make the house work makes it a cool oasis even during hot days. We hope to make it back there some day. One of the best experiences in our many visits in northern Spain and Barcelona area. No kids means that they can only serve adults on the level what they like to keep. This is to keep the place as good as possible for the target audience.

I cannot find anything that I didn't like. This was a place that made a common experience feel luxury.

First of all Laura and Lalo are wonderful host and hostess❣️ They have a very welcoming aura. Wonderful people, kind of just feel like you are their personal guest. Love them. And Lalo was a professional chef, omg, he cooked me dinner that I did not really expect! We had a lovely and lively dinner together🥰 Thank you so much for your warm hospitality ♥️

Well, one should have a car to be able to get to their place. What a beautiful place in the middle of forest. Secluded but very warm. But they do offer to drive you or if not on a Sunday, then probably easier to get a taxi ride.

A bit in the country so very quiet and peaceful. It’s in a beautiful old large home with fantastic but different country views from each bedroom. Bathrooms are modern and in fine condition. Lot’s of countryside hiking available but just sitting by the pool is its own piece of heaven. Breakfasts wonderful (extra). Dinners adjustable to what you want (standard policy, extra, but great). Lalo and Laura, managers are super wonderful.

We had to buzz the gate to drive into parking area. For people staying several nights, maybe they have their own “remote”?

What a spectacular view! And such warm and loving people... I cannot begin to explain how lovely it was :-). Me and my boyfriend just had a very busy summer and were due for a relaxing holiday, it exceeded our expectations. We arrived pretty late because we had some delay, but Laura was very understanding and greeted us with some fresh water. The room is magnificent, with a spectacular view! We stayed for 4 nights, it was too short! It's such a relaxing atmosphere and such lovely people - who have the most amazing wine AND diner (I can only suggest you try to have lunch or diner at the accomodation!). Finally, you can FEEL the love, the connection, the relaxation. We felt very welcome here, so yet again, thank you, Lalo and Laura - we had the best time ;-)! We will probably visit you guys again if we can ;-)!

This was a perfect place to relax. I loved the house and the terrace. The owners gave us wonderful service in a very kind and natural manner and made us feel at home. The food (dinner and breakfast) was great. We stayed in the twin room at the ground floor. Some other guests have commented that this room can be noisy, but it was perfectly quiet during our stay. I would also like to mention that reaching the property by public transport is not a problem. We came from Montserrat (the monestry) and followed the instructions on google maps, taking first the train, then a bus, and finally walked for 20-25 minutes (we had backpacks, not suitcases). We only stayed for one night, but would love to come back.

We liked everything

Beautiful property, with amazing views. There is a pool and many routes for hiking and walking through the vineyards. The house is decorated beautifully- incredible art. It is so clean and if I could give it 11 stars I would. Laura and Lalo have truly created paradise!

There was nothing that I didn’t like! At first I maybe thought that because we had to hire a car. But I am so glad that we had to hire a car as it allowed us to explore the area more- not just Barcelona. Day trips to Sitges and Costa brava are a must !

Secluded in hills away from two nearby towns and not far from big Barcelona. Great small pool for relaxing after travel. Outdoor veranda for talking and evening outdoor eating if desired. Lara & Lalo are so service oriented yet social, too. Lalo is a great cook (I’d say chef). Lara does yoga and Thai Chi sessions if wanted. Breakfasts are amazing as are dinners. We love staying there. Affordable, too!

Older, authentic building so showers are tight!

My wife and I liked our stay at Vi l'Art Wine Lodge very much. This beautiful setting in the tranquil countryside has it all. I could write a novel about all the positive impressions, so I’ll just name a few from the top of my head: Laura and Lalo are the most welcoming hosts; the house is beautifully decorated, full of antiquities and unique pieces of furniture from all over the world; beautiful patio with a priceless view of Montserrat mountines; cozy pool to refresh after a long day in Barcelona; excellent breakfast with freshly squeezed orange juice… I would certainly return to this place without hasitation when revisiting the area.

This is not a negative impression, but a piece of advice to all those who plan to visit during summer 2024. The best way to travel to Barcelona is to take the R4 train from Sant Sadurní d'Anoia which would take you directly to Plaça de Catalunya, except it doesn’t. Due to ongoing works on the railway the R4 stops at L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, and then you have to switch to R1 or metro. It’s a minor inconvenience which I thought I’d share with all those making commuting plans in advance, such as I did. Of course this has nothing to do Laura and Lalo’s place.

Lalo and Laura provide not just accomodation but a real experience. The lodge is in a beautiful area, and we loved the ambience, the quirky creative decorations, and the unique touches. We had access to a lovely communal lounge, kitchen, and dining room. We booked an evening meal, and this was outstanding. Don't miss Lalo's cooking, and Laura's homemade jams provided as part of breakfast. It was in easy driving distance to Barcelona and near the beautiful Monserrst area If you want something a bit different and slightly off the beaten track, I would highly recommend this lodge.

This property is a real gem! Laura and Lalo are a passionate couple who put their heart and soul into making their visitors feel welcome and comfortable. Our stay was like home away from home. In addition to the comfortable accommodation, we had free use of their entire home. I would recommend taking up their offer of breakfast and dinner. Having been in the restaurant business they offer a fabulous spread that including wine and cava. On our last evening we asked them to surprise us with a dinner of their choosing. We were treated to a fantastic five course meal of tradition Spanish and Argentinian dishes. We highly recommend a stay with Laura & Lalo and will definitely be back to visit on future trips.

There is nothing not to love!
