Venta de San Juan - Bed & Breakfast in Tarragona
Ctra. P-723 Batea-Nonaspe km7.3, 43786 Batea, Tarragona
Catalonia,
Spagna
Wonderful - not the sort of place you are likely to chance upon in this vast Spanish countryside. But begin your search in Batea, a pretty little town in a remote part of Catalonia. There is a long rocky track up to the solid old house, deserted among the vineyards and woods, but full of life thanks to Jorge and Clotilde. It was passed on from a grandfather who made his fortune in Cuba but returned home after Independence...if you love dusty, faded old houses you'll love it here.
Some might focus on the scarce electricity (solar powered) and poor showers; others will love the authenticity. The food especially makes the trip worthwhile and much of the organic produce (olives, vegetables, vines) comes from the farm. Clotilde is a wonderful cook and gives you delicious breakfasts and dinner, served indoors or out.
Walks are sublime, there are many birds to spot and the night skies will take your breath away. A real treat.

Local points of interest from Jorge & Clotilde de Pascual:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Jorge & Clotilde de Pascual:
- For walkers - come for a stopover whilst you walk the Camino de Santiago route from Cataluña. There are also countless paths to stroll along around here during your stay.
- For history lovers, head to the Roman Mausoleum, 9km away, reached along tracks. Nearby also is Gandesa which has the Civil War museum of the biggest and most decisive battle of the war: la Batalla del Ebro.
- The house itself is filled with tales and memories of the Civil War...it was used by the Lincoln Washington brigade in 1938 before they escaped to the Ebro where just 40 of the 400 managed to reach republican lines.
- Swimming in the natural pools - nearby are some amazing natural pools, a must for any visitor. Ask us for more information on the best spots for where to go. Come back to stargaze and enjoy the silence of the night.
- Wine and olive oil tasting - Jorge knows the local bodegas who can lay on tastings of wonderful local wines and olive oils. Just ask for details and we can organise these for you!
- Exclusive rental also available for 10 guests – we can offer breakfast and dinner, hold events, order a private chef and you’ll have the whole place to yourselves.
