I agree Further informationAt Villa Emilia we’d like to make things easy for you; on 1st January we’ll open the doors of our Bistro to enable you to start off the year with a top-class menu and a day without rushing around. Because we believe that the first day of the year will to a large extent set the stage for the other 364 days.
Imagine travelling to London and Amsterdam via Scandinavia, in one morning and without leaving Barcelona. Imagine returning home with a select collection of unique pieces made by hand by local artisans who dedicate the utmost care to every little thing they make.
It was love at first sight for them. But far from it being a mere passing crush, their love story has lasted more than a decade. Every Christmas, Villa Emilia and Introfusión, the company responsible for the Christmas decorations at the hotel, renew their vows of mutual trust and admiration.
You have to go back in history as far as 1836 to discover when wine began to form part of the Forns Raventós family. Without interruption, since 1954, when they became Cava producers, the family have tended to each vintage with the utmost care. The sparkling experience of tasting it is provided at Villa Emilia’s tables.
Imagine the scene. A cosy environment in the heart of the city, with music that encourages good conversation. A glass of the finest gin and a delicacy for the mouth to savour. This is our suggestion for a meeting after work or at the weekend. This season, Villa Emilia’s bistro will make it easy to unwind.
Barcelona is full of hot spots for the best cuisine. But the number goes down when you specify the requirements for an ideal dinner: a chic setting, music that isn’t too shrill, market cuisine and fresh produce. If you also opt for the centre of Barcelona, we provide that little bit extra.
November is the countdown month. The upcoming Christmas holidays cause many companies to add up their annual results and get ready to celebrate an excellent year, and even if those results haven’t been quite as good as expected, it’s always a good idea to celebrate the hard work done.
We're not telling you anything you don’t already know: Barcelona is a city that doesn’t conceal its charms. Much of its fame is due to its culture, gastronomy and natural environment and, above all, its architectural and urban beauty. And it proudly displays the above beyond the city, in all its versions.
It appears to have been the British who introduced the concept of “brunch” back in the late 1800s, a mixture of breakfast and lunch for stragglers who liked having a lie-in at the weekend and calmly enjoying a late breakfast or an early lunch.
Also knows as "the night of the fire", Sant Joan's Eve is, for many people, the most magical event of the year.
A lot has been said about honest cooking in recent years but there are still many people who don't know what this – once abstract - concept means. It is much simpler than it seems and, in fact, it is all about this, about simplicity.
On special dates and occasions, such as Christmas and New Year's Eve, everyone loves to gather around a table full of delicious food to share and enjoy it with their loved ones. Gastronomy is a big part of most traditions and holidays, and this is of course the case for Christmas in Barcelona.
There is a very popular opinion according to which autumn is the best time to visit the city, especially since there are fewer people and the climate, while not hot, is still quite pleasant. We will not affirm or deny this (partly because it really depends on the preferences of each one), but we will explain some of the many things you can do in the Catalan capital in this season of the year.
It is a fact that visiting Barcelona means visiting a city that will always offer something to do and something to see. But it's also possible that you want to go a little further during your stay and visit other cities, small towns or nearby natural areas, especially if you are here for several days or if you are not that much into big cities.
What could be better than enjoying some snacks with a drink in your hand on a beautiful terrace in Barcelona? Well, do this while listening to live music.
A lot of great things start with a “once upon a time”, and this is also de case for the celebration of Sant Jordi in Catalonia (Saint George in English). Every April 23, from the biggest cities to the smallest towns are filled with roses, books and lovers, that stroll around in the search of the best present for their significant other, which tradition says it has to be a book and/or a rose.
This week we will be visited by 4 musicians who share youth, dynamism, talent and good reviews. On Thursday we will have the pianist Victor Martínez with the singer Claudia Steccato. And on Saturday, a ration of good jazz served by Manel Fortià to the double bass and Marco Mezquida to the piano.
This Thursday we will have Jazz in the Zinc Bar with Manel Fortià to the double bass and Elisabet Raspall to the piano, a duo of height. On Saturday we will have versions of known songs but reinterpreted with Playman to the piano and Alex Rodriguez to the cello.
