Historical significance and location
Dating back to at least 1775, the property was a well-known inn along the Camí Ral, the royal road connecting Barcelona and Lleida. It served as a postal stop where carriages were exchanged, highlighting its importance in regional transport and communication networks. Argençola is a quiet hilltop village located very near the N-II road and the A2 dual carriageway, meaning it enjoys easy access to Barcelona, Igualada, and other nearby towns. The surrounding area is a paradise for nature lovers, with endless opportunities for hiking and exploring the stunning Catalan countryside.
The property is equipped with mains electricity and water from its own well (option to connect to mains water).
