Can Gramunt

Wouldn't you like to wake up in a refuge where every detail has been designed to respect nature? Can Gramunt, located in the heart of Paisajes Barcelona, is a farmhouse that fuses the ancient with the modern, offering a paradise full of comfort.

All facades, floors and roofs are insulated with natural materials such as river cane and cellulose. Larch wood windows and doors ensure a cozy and protected environment, and to avoid excessive heat in summer, louvered shutters of the same material keep the interior cool.

Solar energy powers the entire farmhouse, with 30 m2 of modules on the roof, ensuring energy independence even on cloudy days thanks to its battery system. Solar thermal energy and a biomass boiler complete the system, guaranteeing heat and hot water with minimal environmental impact.

The water cycle is equally efficient. Collected rainwater is used for garden irrigation and toilet flushing, while wastewater is treated naturally.

They use renewable energies, biomass for heating and collect rainwater to reduce their environmental impact.

Maset de la Costa.

Enter the region of l' Anoia, among olive trees and vineyards, to find the peace you crave. Enjoy the beauty and well-being of a spectacular setting at Maset de la Costa; a 16th century farmhouse where you will feel at home. Discover oil tourism: A new alternative to responsible tourism!

At Maset de la Costa, you can live new experiences, experiencing firsthand how olive oil tourism helps to achieve the pillars of ESG sustainability.

  • Environmental balance: Since the beginning of this great project in 2009, organic farming has been the priority. Meticulous care of the olive trees, strictly following organic farming guidelines, has culminated in the production of premium quality organic extra virgin olive oil. Each oleo turismo experience will provide you with knowledge of sustainable agricultural practices, fostering a greater appreciation and support for organic products and environmental conservation.
  • Social balance: Olive tourism at Maset de la Costa strengthens social and cultural cohesion. During the olive harvesting season, the unique experience of a harvesting day is offered, an inclusive activity that invites all family members to participate. Visitors learn how to place the borrasas (a thick cloth used for olive picking during the harvest) and comb the olive trees with their own hands, immersed in the local tradition and culture. This direct connection to the agricultural process not only enriches the personal experience, but also fosters a sense of community and appreciation for the farmer's work.
  • Governance and ethical transparency: The commitment to transparency and quality is reflected in the organization of oil tasting courses, where participants can discover and appreciate the organoleptic properties of Maset de la Costa. These tastings not only educate consumers about the quality of the oil, but also reinforce confidence in the process and agricultural practices adopted in its production.
