Coliving in Sant Feliu de Buixalleu, Girona, Spain
Wonder House · 14th-century restored farmhouse coliving near Barcelona with perfect 5-star rating
The Home
Wonder House
Wonder House is a coliving in a restored 14th-century farmhouse in the Montseny Natural Park, an hour from Barcelona. Nine bedrooms, 12 beds, and a perfect 5.0-star rating across 33 Google reviews.
The Experience
The Montseny massif is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve — ancient forests, Romanesque churches, and a silence that feels almost anachronistic this close to Barcelona. Wonder House puts you in a building that’s stood for seven centuries, updated with modern comforts but retaining the stone walls, wooden beams, and atmosphere that make historic buildings special. Barcelona is accessible for day trips but feels a world away.
The Space
A 14th-century farmhouse restored with care, offering nine bedrooms, coworking area, communal kitchen, and gardens set within the natural park. The property balances historic character with the practical requirements of remote work.
Who It’s For
Remote workers who want Catalonian countryside and centuries of history as their daily environment, with Barcelona close enough for weekends but far enough to focus during the week.

Workspace
Work with a Montseny Natural Park, Catalonia Rhythm
Coworking included with reliable internet.
The Vibe
Wake up in a 700-year-old farmhouse, make coffee in the communal kitchen, and work from the coworking area while stone walls and wooden beams keep everything cool. Lunch in the garden. Afternoon hike through the biosphere reserve or more focused work. Evenings are communal — cooking together, local wine, and the kind of quiet that only comes from genuine countryside.
Day trips to Barcelona (1 hour), exploring the medieval villages of Montseny, hiking to the summit, or visiting the thermal springs at Caldes de Montbui.
Living in Montseny Natural Park, Catalonia
Montseny is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve an hour north of Barcelona — a massif of beech forests, Mediterranean scrubland, and Romanesque churches that rises to 1,706m. It's one of those rare places where genuine wilderness sits close enough to a major city to make both accessible.
Sant Feliu de Buixalleu is a small village in the foothills of the park. There's a church, a few houses, a bar, and silence. The nearest larger town is Sant Celoni (10 min), which has supermarkets, a train station to Barcelona, and enough infrastructure to cover daily needs. The scenery is old-growth Catalan countryside — terraced farmland, stone walls, and forests that change dramatically with the seasons.
Catalonia outside Barcelona is affordable. A menu del dia lunch (three courses with wine) costs EUR 12-15 at a local restaurant. A beer is EUR 2-3. Groceries are comparable to the rest of Spain. The combination of rural tranquility, proximity to a world-class city, and genuine natural park surroundings is hard to replicate at this price point.
Montseny summit hike
Hike to Turó de l'Home (1,706m) through beech and oak forest. On clear days, views extend to the Pyrenees in one direction and the Mediterranean in the other.
Barcelona by train
Take the Rodalies train from Sant Celoni to Barcelona Passeig de Gràcia in about an hour. Gaudí, the Gothic Quarter, and seafood paella for a day trip.
Romanesque church circuit
The Montseny foothills are scattered with 10th-12th century churches — Sant Martí del Brull, Sant Segimon, and others. Small, quiet, and beautiful.
