Near the village of Riudoms
we can find Mas Castells
An automatic system will open the gate which will lead us into a path. On the left-hand side, there is an old farmhouse, Mas de les Bombes, where water used to be pumped to irrigate all the crops of the area long ago. Following that path, on the left-hand side there is El Xalet (the owners’ house). A few metres forward, you will find Mas Castells.
The first place we can see is the wonderful barbecue area: El Rafal, consisting of big palm trees, a hedge with the swimming pool in the centre, surrounded by natural grass. In the landscaped surroundings there is a building with two bathrooms, a huge barbecue (where you can cook “calçots” -onion shoots-, or your delicious meals) and a kitchen. Attached to this area, there is a small pine wood area, La Pineda, ideal for reading or playing chess on the stone table engraved chessboard.
This country house offers a wide range of sports in the sports field: football-7, a basket for basketball, volleyball, petanque… and a games room with a tennis table, a dartboard and a football table.
Mas Castells is distributed into two floors:
The lower floor, known as Cal Masover: up the stairs there is a terrace and a door that leads to a double bedroom on the left-hand side and a twin bedroom on the right-hand side of the corridor. Crossing the door, we will go into the living room with a fireplace, which also has access to another double bedroom. On the opposite side of the living room there are two bathrooms, another double bedroom and a big and bright kitchen.
The upper floor, also known as Ca la iaia: going up the stairs we enter the living room and next to it, there is a huge dining room-kitchen with a beautiful fireplace. From the dining room we have access to the terrace, which has amazing views of the whole farm and fields. We can even see the Mediterranean sea in the horizon (3km away). Also, next to the dining room there are two double bedrooms that share a bathroom. One of these bedrooms has a terrace from where you can see the sports field’s green area. If we go along the main corridor we will find four more en suite bedrooms: a double bedroom and three twin bedrooms. One of the twin bedrooms has a bathtub instead.
Capacity of Mas Castells: 20-26 people. 12-16 people on the upper floor (Ca la iaia) and 8-10 people on the lower floor (Cal Masover).
