About This Venue

An 18th-Century Villa Estate in the Penedes Countryside Near Sitges

Villa Almanita – known until recently as Villa Catalina – is an 18th-century Catalan estate set across 32 hectares of private vineyards and woodland just outside Sitges, in the Penedes countryside. Unlike most Belka venues, Villa Almanita is rented as a full private estate: couples and their closest circle can stay together across its 24 bedrooms and 20 ensuite bathrooms, with standard capacity for 52 overnight guests and room for up to 78 with additional beds, while up to 250 guests join for the ceremony and reception around the pool, walled gardens, and restored wine cellar. Just 25 minutes from Barcelona-El Prat Airport, it is one of the few venues in Belka portfolio that lets a couple closest circle live together under one roof for the whole wedding weekend.

What Makes It Different

Three Reasons
Couples Choose This Estate

The Whole Estate, Just for You

Villa Almanita is rented as a full private property, not a shared event space – your wedding weekend unfolds across 32 hectares of vineyards and gardens with no other events on the calendar.

24 Bedrooms Under One Roof

With 24 bedrooms, 20 ensuite bathrooms, and a honeymoon suite, standard capacity covers 52 guests on-site – extendable to 78 with additional beds – a rare setup among Belka venues that turns the wedding into a full weekend spent together.

A Restored Bodega for Indoor Celebrations

The estate rejuvenated wine cellar, strung with romantic lighting among rustic wine casks, gives couples a striking indoor space for dinner or dancing if the Mediterranean evening turns cool.

We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect place for our wedding weekend. Villa Almanita is truly something special — beautiful, full of character, incredibly private, and with the most amazing atmosphere. We spent several days here with our closest friends and family, and the villa somehow managed to feel both spectacular and completely like home. From the pool and gardens to all the different spaces around the property, there was always another beautiful corner to discover. It was the perfect setting for everything from relaxed mornings and long lunches to our wedding celebration. What made it even better was how well everything worked for a larger group. There is so much space, yet it never loses that intimate feeling. Our guests absolutely loved it, and so did we. Villa Almanita will always be a very special place for us, and we honestly couldn’t recommend it more. If you’re looking for...

I honestly don’t know where to begin when it comes to reviewing Villa Almanita and Zoe. If you’re even slightly considering a wedding abroad, this is the place to do it. The villa itself is absolutely stunning. Rustic, beautiful and full of character, with swimming pools, hot tubs and enough space for so many of your favourite people to stay together. We had 40 guests with us and every single person fell in love with the place. More than anything, it gave us the opportunity to turn our wedding into a three-day celebration with our nearest and dearest, which made the whole experience even more special. We booked our wedding two years in advance, and it was amazing to see how much the villa continued to evolve and improve during that time. Zoe and the whole team were incredible from beginning to end. They were always in contact, checking in...

Almanita was a dream and then more! It was by far the most beautiful place we’ve ever stayed in and our 30 guests were also enamored by it. Starting with Zoe, she was incredible to work with, always super friendly and attentive, answering all of our questions for almost 2yrs prior to the wedding. We booked Almanita for our wedding before ever seeing it in person and when we finally went in person it exceeded all expectations! They’ve done incredible renovations inside and outside, all of them staying true to the essence of the place, and blending amazing modern touches with the beautiful original parts of the house. My wife and I absolutely loved the honeymoon suite, we used the two rooms in front of it as our closets, to keep the suite nice and tidy. We organized our guests around the house and it felt amazing having different areas...

Our recent stay at Villa Almanita was nothing short of magical. Coordinating a trip with a large group of loved ones flying in from all corners of the US is no small feat, but the moment we arrived, all the travel stress completely melted away. The sheer excitement of finally being together was amplified by how thoughtfully the villa was arranged. It comfortably accommodated our entire party, offering a brilliant layout that encouraged lively group gatherings while still providing enough room for everyone to have their own space. The attention to detail and care put into this property is truly commendable. The entire villa was kept immaculately clean, both inside and out, allowing us to just settle in and feel completely at home. If you are looking for a special place to bring your family or friends together, I cannot recommend Villa Almanita highly enough. It is so much more...
