Description
Whether you are planning a retreat to foster clarity and focus, a strategic or creative process that needs room to breathe, or marking a milestone in a setting that does the occasion justice — here, good ideas become better ideas. Design sprints in the attic with panoramic views to informal conversations at sunset by the pool: Castell de Villavecchia brings together inspiration, comfort and nature in one extraordinary place.
With 17 bedrooms, a 103 m² workshop space, several large communal areas and stable wifi throughout the building, this is one of the most complete retreat venues in Catalonia — ideal for professional and creative teams looking to step away from the daily rhythm, and for content creators in search of an authentic location with character.
MEETING AND WORKING SPACES
- The attic – 103 m²: Spacious, bright room on the second floor with panoramic views. Ideal for creative sessions and plenary presentations.
- The music room – 70 m²: A characterful space with high ceilings, usable as a reception area or creative studio.
- The dining room – 74 m²: Long table, open fireplace — suitable for shared meals or working sessions.
- The living room – 55 m²: Informal lounge with fireplace, suitable for smaller team conversations or quiet work.
- The wine cellar – 75 m²: Atmospheric basement space, ideal for shared dinners, closing sessions or an informal team moment.
Fast and stable wifi in all bedrooms and communal spaces — suitable for video calls, hybrid sessions, live presentations and remote team members. Reliable connection also in the attic.
Beyond the indoor spaces, the estate offers a wide range of outdoor areas for team building and activities: a large pool terrace (1,242 m²) with panoramic views, several gardens (chapel garden, tower garden), a natural woodland area and walking paths on the private grounds — all exclusively available to your group.

I had my 60th birthday at the castle. We weee 28 people and were there for 3 days. It was an amazing experience all guests were really happy and we had a great time. We had catering and prepared food at the castle. The infrastructure was really good, we had all we needed. Our we could arrange the tables in the dining room and in the garden really nicely. We enjoyed the pool and the comfortable sunbeds. The beds were comfortable and the rooms weee nicely designed. Daniel, our contact person, was very responsive at all times. Two of us had EVs and a charger was installed before our arrival. Nature around the castle was amazing and the business in town helped us with logistics like food delivery, the bakery prepared greater tortillas and pies! Thanks, Daniel, for enabling my birthday celebration!
