Imagine hosting your special event in a historic villa surrounded by Mediterranean nature, with views of a castle, spacious terraces, and centuries-old gardens. Welcome to Can Bernadas, an estate located in Alella, just minutes from Barcelona, offering the perfect blend of history, elegance, and comfort for unforgettable events.
Conveniently located on Carrer del Greny 5, this 12-hectare property offers various accommodation and event space options, all tailored for groups of up to 12 guests, and more if you include the additional guesthouses. Whether it's an intimate wedding, a family celebration, or a corporate retreat, Can Bernadas is fully equipped to make your event unforgettable.
One of Can Bernadas’ greatest assets is its location. Situated in Alella, a charming wine town in the Maresme region, this villa is a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature but still offers easy access to the city.
Being less than 30 minutes by car from Barcelona makes it an ideal choice for those who want an exclusive venue without straying far from urban amenities. It's also easily accessible for both local and international guests thanks to its proximity to the airport and main highways.
From several vantage points across the estate, guests can enjoy stunning views of the Alella Castle, a unique feature visible from three of the main bedrooms and even from the sixth bedroom on the lower level.
Flexibility is key when planning an event, and Can Bernadas delivers. It offers multiple configurations to suit various group sizes:
Main villa for 8, 10, or 12 guests.
Additional guesthouse for 4 guests.
Two separate apartments for 2 guests each.
Each space is thoughtfully designed with a blend of traditional Catalan charm and modern comfort. For larger groups, additional areas like a fifth and sixth bedroom on the lower level are made available. The sixth unit even includes its own terrace, kitchen, living room, and full bathroom.
Inside the main villa, there’s a spacious living room with two large couches, a TV area, and a cozy fireplace. Adjacent to the living area is a fully equipped kitchen with an island and a dining space, making it easy for guests to gather and interact.
One of Can Bernadas’ standout features is its outdoor setting. The lush gardens are ideal for outdoor ceremonies, sunset cocktails, or magical photo sessions.
The terrace directly in front of the living room boasts a private barbecue area and a private swimming pool, making it perfect for soaking in the Mediterranean sun or cooling off during summer events.
Beyond the main villa area, the estate also includes a dedicated events area, suitable for receptions, parties, or corporate sessions. The entire property feels secluded and tranquil, ensuring complete privacy for guests.
From the moment you step inside Can Bernadas, the estate’s rich history is palpable. Yet, it’s seamlessly integrated with modern amenities that ensure guests’ comfort:
First bedroom: Two single beds and charming design details.
Second bedroom: A king-sized bed and plenty of natural light.
Third bedroom: Two single beds and an additional couch.
Fourth bedroom: A queen bed, writing desk, and castle views.
Fifth and sixth bedrooms: Located on the lower level, great for large groups, with additional kitchen and terrace options.
Each room offers privacy and tranquility, while full bathrooms on each level feature showers, bidets, and quality fixtures. The ability to scale up the accommodation based on guest count is ideal for hosts planning multi-day events or retreats.
Can Bernadas isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a fully adaptable event venue. Whether you’re envisioning a garden wedding, an al fresco dinner, or a team-building retreat, this villa has the spaces and facilities to make it happen.
Its dedicated event area has hosted weddings, anniversaries, spiritual retreats, and corporate functions. The layout allows for a variety of setups — from large group banquets to intimate music performances or workshops.
Thanks to its tiered lodging options, it's easy to plan events where some guests stay longer, while others drop in just for the celebration.
Another major perk is that booking directly with Can Bernadas means better rates than what you’ll find on Airbnb. While you can check availability and pricing on their Airbnb listing, direct communication ensures more flexible terms and better value.
The owners are also known for their personalized service, adapting the space and services to suit your needs — something that’s often harder to coordinate through third-party platforms.
When compared to other top listings like Villa Almanita, Casa Felix, or Sitges Luxury Rentals, Can Bernadas clearly stands out:
Villa Almanita is more corporate-oriented.
Casa Felix offers a romantic setting but lacks Can Bernadas' privacy.
Sitges Luxury Rentals provides many properties but lacks the personal touch.
Can Bernadas combines:
Total privacy.
Flexible accommodation.
A warm, living historic property.
Expansive gardens and a private pool.
A peaceful location close to Barcelona.

These testimonials reinforce the villa’s reputation as one of the top historic venues for events near Barcelona.
Whether you’re planning a wedding, a family gathering, or a corporate retreat, Can Bernadas in Alella offers a unique experience that’s hard to match.
Its combination of historic charm, modern comforts, versatile spaces, and ideal location make it an exceptional choice for anyone seeking a historical villa for events near Barcelona.
