Description Midnight Moon: Orpí

Huddled together like a hamlet, the rose-hued buildings of this holiday complex glow golden in the sunset and look like they could be an ancient monastery. Indeed, there’s a fifteenth-century church within the grounds, alongside modern perks like a shared swimming pool and covered hot tub. In the heart of the Catalan countryside, hilltop walks past crumbling castles can fill your days, or perhaps make the hour’s drive to Barcelona for a day trip in the big city.

This apartment has all the farmhouse charm we’d expect from a rural retreat. Think wood-beamed ceilings and terracotta-tiled floors. Though there are a few modern touches too, like the geometric feature light above the dining table and midnight-blue walls in the full kitchen. The bedroom is super spacious and it’s a delight to wake up to countryside views from the big windows. There’s also a cute little balcony with a bistro table, perfect for your morning coffee to the sound of birds in the surrounding forest hills.
