Location
About the surrounding area of Can Sitges MarcerTo the west of the Garraf National Park, around a 45-minute drive from Barcelona, Sitges is known as the 'Jewel on the Mediterranean'. An affluent small town welcoming to all, it's a place with a fun vibe and offers plenty to do and see.
Sitges is always ready for a celebration, and its calendar of events and festivals is impressive. As the host of the annual Catalonian International Film Festival, it's a great place for movie lovers and has a couple of good cinemas in the shape of El Retiro and Prado, the impressive interior of which is well worth seeing. February's Carnival Week and September's Grape Harvest Festival are among the other events which fill the year in Sitges – and as something of a gay capital, its Mardi Gras celebrations are a big deal too.
Sitges' pretty Old Town is filled with fine places to eat. Its popularity with tourists means it has a particularly good offering for a place of its size. There is everything from Catalan to the usual international options – you may notice that pizza is not in short supply! This is no bad thing, though, with lots of nice spots along the promenade to enjoy a casual meal together. You will find plenty of art galleries and a smattering of museums on the streets of Sitges too – an artistic, creative feel makes it an interesting place to go wandering.
The town has quite a few options for sports, including several golf courses and tennis clubs nearby. Numerous beaches and a reliably warm climate year-round make it good for water sports, with jet-skiing and sailing both possibilities. You are more likely to find windsurfing and water-skiing out towards Garraf. This spectacular nature reserve covers some 12,000 hectares and offers wonderful walking and cycling routes in inspiring surroundings.

Such A Wonderful Stay
I just wanted to thank you on behalf of the Hodgson Family for a wonderful week in Can Marcer.
You made us very welcome and the greatest compliment I can pass on is that everyone agreed that this is a villa that feels “lived in”.
Everything we could have wanted was there! All your facilities are excellent and the villa has great character and atmosphere -
Incredible
Wow what a fantastic place… just back after a brilliant week with 23 friends and family. The house, the gardens, the outside spaces and the pool are all perfect for large groups! There is space to get together and space to disappear! The poolside bar made for some very enjoyable long afternoons in the sunshine! Thanks to Peter and Ginette for being so attentive and flexible.

Absolutely Amazing!
We spent a week at Can Marcer de la Penya in July 2023 to celebrate our wedding with our family and close friends. Words cannot describe how fantastic this venue is as a holiday destination, and as a wedding venue. The stunning views were matched by the gorgeous decor of the villa - which had everything you could possibly need or want! But I really must say a MASSIVE thank you to Ginette, Peter and their team for being so welcoming, helpful and lovely through the whole visit! They really went above and beyond and I cannot thank them enough for everything they did for us. I could not recommend highly enough! Thank you so much!

There's nowhere better than here
Everything about this home, its care, and the people who own and maintain the property is done with a huge amount of care. From the communication with the owners to the property managers to the beauty of each room and nook and shared space on the property, we could not have asked for a better place to stay.
-
You will not regret going here
18 of us stayed in the villa for an amazing family vacation. The home is beautiful and although it is a historical home it is as clean as pictured. Communication with owner is wonderful and they were very helpful with all of our needs and requests. The only regret we have is not renting the home for longer. Just an FYI the driveway up to the house is dirt and can be quite bumpy, but the prize at the end is worth it. You will not regret choosing this rental.

Great for all ages
We have just had the most fabulous long weekend stay at Can Marcer de la Penya. As a family group of 16 (ages 1 - 85) we all had a wonderful time and have lovely memories to share. Can Marcer is a very special place with beautifully furnished, comfortable rooms and different spaces inside and outside the Masia to enjoy. It was super being able to be together for meals, inside or outside, but also having time to catch up with different family members in all the different places such as around the pool, BBQ and garden areas.
We also enjoyed swimming, practising yoga in the sunshine, table tennis and the family competition in the Pool room. Ginette and Peter are excellent hosts. They answered all our queries promptly, helped with Chef contacts and ensured we were happy and comfortable at all times before, and during our stay. Thank you so much from the Richardson/Jackson Family. We really look forward to returning. -
The most wonderful week
We were lucky enough to hold our ceremony at this beautiful property. It truly was the most wonderful week with 25 of our closest family and friends.
The accommodation exceeded our expectations - every room was a ‘show-stopper’ with more than enough space for everyone to enjoy time together and some downtime.
We can’t thank Ginette and Peter enough - they helped make our stay extra special. We hope to return at some point in the future… -
Most beautiful house I've ever stayed in
We were a diverse group of friends celebrating several milestones, and we're so glad we could mark them at this beautiful place. Ginette and Peter were amazing hosts, who couldn't have done more to make our stay special. The property itself might be the most beautiful house I've ever stayed in.
-
Property is exceptional
We were a group of 14 - two families and our adult children (with significant others) and three teenagers. Can Marcer was perfect! It's an amazing home in a beautiful location.
Close to Sitges and Barcelona. We planned most of our activities using the property's website - and all recommendations worked out very well. We have a few well-seasoned travelers in the crowd and everyone thought this property was exceptional! Thank you -
Truly amazing place
Truly amazing place, most wonderful host and everyone was so friendly. Perfect place was a secret getway with family and friends.

Truly a special gem!
Can Sitges Marcer is truly a special gem! We had originally booked this for a a 20 person yoga retreat, but the pandemic happened...instead my family of 8 booked it for our first vacation in 2 years. Well worth the wait! The villa is both grand and homey, spacious and intimate. Each room is unique - very comfortable beds, nice linens, appointed bathrooms with shampoo/conditioner/body wash and hair dryers. The grounds are gorgeous, views of the vineyard, places to chat, nap, eat. The pool speaks for itself. The location is excellent - so private but easily accessible to Sitges for food and fun as well as the train station to get into Barcelona which we did twice. Although our group was small, after staying there, I can see that it would be an amazing place to hold a yoga retreat or event. And Ginette and Peter were excellent hosts - their recommendation to rent ebikes and take a trip to the Buddhist Monastery was a favorite and they were so helpful sorting our FC Barcelona tickets. Enjoy!

Exceeded all expectations!
Myself and our group of friends and family were so excited to arrive at the villa - and it exceeded ALL expectations. Each room was so special and different with amazing details and special touches! There was so much space for our large group in and outside and the views were just breathtaking. We loved using the BBQ, the poolside bar and the amazing garden area. Ginette and Peter were so helpful and kind on the run up to our stay, helping to organise our food shopping and other helpful tips. We can't wait to come back - this place really was perfect for our special occasion and I would recommend it to anyone!
