Location: Can Marcer de la Penya is not properly marked on the map. We are 10 minutes drive from the beaches of Sitges, 10 minutes walk from the nearest bar/restaurant and 20 minutes walk from the nearest shop.
Events eg. weddings, parties, film locations, corporate and wellness retreats must be pre-agreed with the owner before booking. Max. 50 Guests including those staying at the villa.
Noise: Although we're in the hills, this is a residential neighbourhood, so local noise regulations must be followed at all times. Loud music or noise such as: amplified music, bands, discos (including silent), are not permitted outside at any time.
All DJs and/or bands must set up inside and specifically in the party room as instructed.
After 10:00 PM, all music and noise must move inside and the swimming pool, front courtyard, and lawn areas are off-limits to respect our neighbours. Guests may continue to use the top terrace, BBQ bar, and chill-out areas in front of the villa as long as noise levels are kept to less than 60DB.
Welcome to the Can Marcer de la Penya Guest House, a 17th century masia (Catalan word for large country house) that once produced 140,000 litres of wine a year. It has been restored to a high standard, but with care to maintain much of its original character.
Sleeps 22 Guests (with additional beds available for up to 26 Guests in total €50 per night.)
It’s a perfect location for Large Groups of Friends, Multi-Generational Family Gatherings, Weddings, Wellness or Corporate Retreats.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
We have been keen to retain the period features of the house and make it as eco friendly as possible.
- We buy locally produced products and use local materials
- Water is a precious commodity here, so we are careful not to use more than we need. There’s a cocoa husk filtration system to clean the water which we use to irrigate the land and we collect rainwater to water the plants.
- Plastic- There's an osmosis water purification system for drinking water to cut down on the amount of plastic bottles used.
- Recycling – there are labelled bins at the villa to separate waste.
- To save on energy there are LED lights throughout and we ask Guests to turn off aircon/appliances when they’re not using them.
Even though we’re close to all the fun and facilities of Sitges and Barcelona, we remain close to nature, in a rural setting, with stunning views of the Garraf Natural Park. It’s comforting to know that every year the sparrow hawks, house martins and Tawny owls will return to their nests and lay their eggs to produce the next generation of life.
