Our Neighbourhood

Nearest Airport: Reus - 4 km

Castellvell is a village located at 100 km from Barcelona, 2 km from Reus (town of 104000 people) and 15 km from the sea. Castellvell has about 2500 people. The house is located in a quiet neighbourhood. It has Port Aventura and good beaches at 15 km.
In Tarragona is nice to see the Roman heritage.
If you move around you can easily find interesting cultural places (Sitges, Ruta del Cister, Cellers Modernistes, Reus, Montblanc...), an excellent wine zone like Priorat, excellent mountains to hike (Montsant, Muntanyes de Prades, el Port), nice beaches (Tarragona, Ametlla de Mar...) and the unique Ebre river delta.
And don't forget that in an hour by train you can reach Barcelona.
