Lovely house in a beautiful, quiet location
In general we really loved our stay at the house. The property could do with some minor updates but overall is well equipped and comfortable. The views from the balcony/patio area are stunning as is the whole Priorat region. The village is peaceful and full of character. Some of the streets are very steep so maybe not suitable for people with limited mobility. Also, if you are thinking of using the municipal pool be aware that it is a fair walk away (you can drive but it's down a very narrow track), probably about 10 minutes, but it is a really good pool.
The local people are friendly even though English is not widely spoken. Iolanda is a great host, very friendly and helpful but also respectful of our privacy (she lives in the house next door). The social club in the village seems to be open most nights for cheap drinks and basic food (pizzas, wraps etc). Two shops in the village provide nearly all the groceries you need and there are several wineries too - the local wine is superb. The surrounding villages are similarly quaint and quiet and the mountains of the Montsant range are stunning. The town of Falset is about 30 minutes' drive away with more facilities (including a Spar and a petrol station). There are some interesting places nearby such as the monastery at Escaladei and the Siurana reservoir, which is great for safe, wild swimming. Tarragona is an hour's drive away and worth a visit too.
