Step into Les Voltes II, a hilltop Catalan retreat with stunning views over Mediterranean rooftops, lush vineyards, and rolling hills. This stylish sunlit apartment boasts 3 king-sized bedrooms, a spacious living/kitchen area with panoramic windows, and an amazing rooftop chillout with a piano, 600+ vinyls, a terrace, a 360º solarium, and an office. Nestled in the heart of Barberà de la Conca, just an hour from Barcelona, it’s an ideal base for exploring local culture, wines, cuisine, & nature.
In 2017, we opened Les Voltes, a historic home from home built atop two 15th-century arches. It was an instant hit with guests, who fell in love with its blend of modern and old, design and comfort, and attention to detail. Now, 7 years later, we are proud to open a brand-new apartment in the same building. Whichever option you book, you always have exclusive use of the rooftop chillout and terrace area. Guests also have free access to the village swimming pool during the summer months (June 22nd to September 11th).
This newly remodeled 80-m2 apartment, which we call Voltes II, has a bright, spacious open-plan living room and a brand new kitchen/dining area with wall-to-wall windows framing the great outdoors. The kitchen is equipped with a five-burner gas hob and dishwasher. From the breathtaking views and natural light to the stunning original art work by local artist Enric Adserà and stylish decor, every detail in this space has been designed to delight.
A short corridor leads to three spacious bedrooms, each furnished with a king-sized bed (150 x 200 cm), brand new mattresses, and plush linens to ensure a restful night's sleep. The bathroom boasts fantastic 1970s fittings, modernised for maximum comfort and merging retro charm with contemporary convenience. Head up one flight of stairs to the rooftop chillout area, with a lounge, terrace, solarium, office, vinyls and CDs, darts, a mini-bar, and 360º views!
Anne, from Ireland, and Jordi, from Catalonia, have called Barberà de la Conca home since 2012, when they purchased and began restoring Les Voltes. Together, they’ve created a space that reflects their passions for music, cycling, and nature, with the ultimate goal of offering a "home away from home," sprinkled with fun and a touch of magic. To quote Anne, "staying at Les Voltes is like a holiday within a holiday."
Since opening Voltes I in 2017 and expanding with Voltes II and III in 2024, they’ve welcomed guests from across the globe. Living in the village year-round, Anne and Jordi are always nearby to share recommendations on local wineries, scenic trails, or anything else to make your stay unforgettable. Known for their laid-back and friendly style, they strike the perfect balance between being helpful and respecting guests' privacy.
Guests often praise Anne and Jordi’s meticulous attention to detail and their knack for anticipating needs—whether through thoughtful touches in the décor or the personal care they show each guest. They are also deeply passionate about nature and the environment, ensuring Les Voltes is not just a beautiful place to stay, but a responsible one, too. Their goal? To create a welcoming, comfortable home that fosters connection—with nature, local culture, and the people who matter most.
