History. Almiral de la font, meaning "admiral of the (water) spring", enjoys huge grounds whose xarello grapes are used for its own brut nature and white wine. Amongst the 14 kilometres of private tracks you will also find pear, olive, cherry, walnut and almond trees in addition to many naturally growing herbs and vegetables (asparagus, rosemary and mushrooms). The house, a protected building and fortified masia, was built before 1592 and was extended in 1800. It has been and continues to be a significant landmark in the Garraf area and was formerly used exclusively for winemaking and farming. Though totally renovated and adapted to a high standard of modern comfort, the original details have been preserved, in particular the wine presses and bodega. The windows have been enlarged to allow in more natural light. Balconies and terraces have been added.

Cottage adjoining the villa - self-contained with its own kitchen & bathroom and separate access.
