Only one hour from Barcelona, Casa Pardal offers a place to relax, recharge and breathe in a healthy environement. Enjoy long walks, cosy nights by the fire-place, wonderful shared meals and deep conversations. Discover the region and its thousand year old castles and embrace a slow and happy way of life.
I spent a few weeks in December at Casa Pardal and it was genuinely a wonderful and cozy time. Monica and James (and Nelli 🐾 ) are amazing hosts and have created a lovely home where one can embrace the slower rhythm of life. We ended up sharing many simple but real, fun moments together - going to the farmers market, cooking delicious meals, painting, knitting and enjoying the food and the sun.
Casa Pardal is a place to slow down, explore creativity and enjoy all the dog cuddles 🐾
I stayed here for 5 weeks from April to May and absolutely loved the time. The location is special - a beautiful old villa with real character, surrounded by nature and great walks right on the doorstep. Each room has it's own charm and is full of personality.
Monica and James are fantastic hosts - always creating a sense of community and making things happen, whether that’s cultural trips, days out in nature, fitness session at the house or just bringing people together throughout the week. It felt more like a shared experience than just a place to stay.
Thanks for everything guys - can’t wait to return and see you all again!
I truly enjoyed my time at Casa Pardal this summer! Monica and James are wonderful hosts, genuine and fun to be around. I’m a total fan of Monica’s yoga classes and James’s focaccia. From painting to beautiful runs, wood carving, sardinada, Greek dinners, creative writing, tarot reading, and wine tasting, the place is full of creativity and conviviality. And their adorable dog, Nelly, adds so much cuteness to it all.
Nice old house with thick stone walls. Lovely people. Internet is workable but could be improved.
Monica & James are very nice and easy going hosts, starting this coliving and are open to suggestions.
Is it somewhat remote so make sure you have a car (or use one of the available (small) bikes).
Also: if you don't like rural farm smells... Depending on the wind you can smell the nearby pig farm or manure on the land, but of what I've heard this is less during summertime when there are crops on the fields and the farmes don't sprtead the manure on the land.
An absolute gem for remote work and recharging! This coliving/coworking space is set in a beautiful old castle in the middle of nature, surrounded by wheat fields—yet it’s super easy to reach by train from Barcelona.
The setting is tranquil and inspiring, with fast Wi-Fi and great workspaces that make it easy to stay productive (I even got tasks done that I had been postponing for months on end!) Weekly yoga and a communal dinner, fresh eggs from their own chickens, and bread-making add even more wow to the place!
What really makes the place special though is Monica and James. They’ve created a warm, welcoming space with so much care and attention to detail. It’s the perfect escape from the city—calm, community-driven, and full of heart. Highly recommended for digital nomads, creatives, artists or anyone needing a peaceful place to focus and recharge. Do yourself a favour and stop by, you won’t regret it
We spent two weeks in Casapardal and were absolutely enchanted. The bedroom with en suite shower room was very comfortable. The house is very well equipped and offers plenty of space for private work or rest. The area offers lots of opportunities for walking and cycling. The hosts are charming, helpful and very interesting. I strongly recommend it. Thank you James and Monica
We spent one week this early spring at Casa Pardal with my partner, and I can’t recommend it enough. For us, it was the perfect blend: a chance to change scenery and work from a place that offers an amazing opportunity to fully focus. It was so quiet and comfortable, which made it easy to stay productive.
At the same time, we loved the sense of disconnection we could enjoy outside of work. The house is set in such a beautiful countryside, and it’s a really charming old building. Plus we loved how it was decorated and how much comfort it provided at the same time. :)
What I should have started with, though, is that the hosts are simply amazing people. They’re creating such a special community here. Every day there were options for what to do, and we always felt so welcome. We really fueled up on good energy!
Huge thanks to Monica and James for this beautiful experience they’re curating.
I spent three weeks in this wonderful place and left with unforgettable memories. Our hosts provided us with incredible experiences, from strolling through the weekly market in Calaf to hiking at Boixadors Castle or Montserrat.
The Hockney-esque landscapes surrounding the house are a true oasis for mental and physical rejuvenation.
Monica's yoga classes and James' bread-making sessions added to the charm of the stay, making me leave with a fulfilled and enriched soul. Monica and James are extraordinary hosts—genuine people who made my stay truly authentic 💕💐
There are so many other reasons to choose this place, but some things can’t be put into words, it’s just a vibe.
