How much does a wedding at Villa Almanita cost?
Villa Almanita is an 18th-century wine family's mansion in 80 acres outside Sitges, and its published from-price of €18,000 buys three nights in low season with the beds for 52 guests. Catering is from €160 a head, the licence for marriage is in place, and there is no curfew. This guide explains what the three nights cover, what the price leaves out, how it works through at three guest counts, and where it sits beside the other Barcelona-region estates that sleep a large party.

What the €18,000 is for
The record for Villa Almanita is unusually specific about its price. The starting figure of €18,000 is for a three-night stay in low season, and it includes exclusive hire of the mansion and its grounds together with accommodation for 52 guests. The venue adds that discounts are available for stays of seven nights and longer, which is a signal that it sees itself as a house to be lived in for a week as much as a venue for a Saturday.
Two things follow from that description. First, the price is seasonal: low season is the floor, and a summer Saturday will sit above it, so ask for the rate for your month rather than planning on the from-price. Second, the hire is the beds. With 52 people sleeping on site, the villa is doing the work of a hotel block for a third of a full guest list, and that is where much of the money goes.
The catering line
The published catering figure is €160 a head. The record lists recommended caterers rather than an in-house kitchen, so the figure is a starting point for the caterers the venue works with, and the menu is priced with them. Drinks are not published, but the licensed bar carries no corkage charge, which for a wedding at a wine family's estate is worth more than it sounds: couples can bring their own wine and cava without a per-bottle fee. Suppliers, from the band to the florist, sit outside both figures.
Hire plus catering at three guest counts
The rows below add the published three-night hire to the published per-head catering at 52 guests, which is the number the beds cover, at 100, and at the maximum of 150. They leave out drinks, any seasonal uplift on the hire, extra nights and every supplier, so they are the floor for the venue and the food.
At 52 guests the hire is the larger of the two lines; at 150 the food has overtaken it. The useful way to read the table is per bed rather than per guest. Three nights for 52 people spreads the hire thinly across a lot of sleeping, and a couple who fill every room are getting a house, a pool and a bodega for their closest 52 for the price of a single evening at some estates. The budget calculator adds drinks and suppliers to a floor like this at your own guest count.
Who sleeps where
The main house has 24 bedrooms, and the record notes further in-villa sleeping options beyond those, giving the 52 beds that the price carries. For a wedding of 150, the couple, both families and the wedding party sleep on the estate and the rest of the list books in Sitges, which is a short drive away and has the hotel capacity of a resort town. For a wedding of 52 or fewer, the entire party stays, and the three nights become the point: the curved outdoor pool and the jacuzzi in the gardens, the courtyard off the bodega, and a list of things to do that runs from wine tasting and olive oil tasting to tennis, padel, bikes, horse riding, yoga and a spa. The guide to venues with accommodation sets the villa beside the other Spanish houses that sleep a party of this size, and the three-day weekend guide covers how couples use the extra days.
The bodega, the courtyard and the licence
The reception space is the estate's bodega, rebuilt for large indoor celebrations with its wine casks kept in place and the doors opening onto a private courtyard, so dinner can be inside and the evening outside. The record does not name separate ceremony spots, so ask the venue which of the gardens or the courtyard it uses for vows. Ceremony and reception capacity are both 150, with a minimum of ten.
The villa is licensed for marriage. That licence belongs to the venue, not to the couple, and most non-resident foreign couples find they cannot hold the legally binding civil ceremony in Spain; they marry at home and hold a symbolic ceremony at the villa, which looks and feels the same on the day. Our guide to how to get married in Spain explains the routes. There is no music curfew and no curfew of any kind, with a sound system on site and no neighbours inside the 80 acres to worry about.
Getting there
The nearest airport by straight line is Barcelona (BCN), around 27 km away. The venue puts Barcelona airport at half an hour, and Sitges is the town on the doorstep, with its beach, restaurants and hotels. For 100 guests who are not sleeping at the villa, that combination of one airport, one motorway and one resort town is as easy as a Spanish estate wedding gets, and the record lists car parking on site.
Other estates near Barcelona that sleep a large party
The four venues below all publish a price that carries the nights. Two are priced above Villa Almanita and two below, and the number of beds inside each figure is the thing to compare.
Garraf · Barcelona
Alcazar Del Garrafup to 150 guests · sleeps 22 · 4-night minimum · from €28,000 · catering €110 a head
La Bisbal d'Empordà · Barcelona
Hotel Castell d’Empordaup to 200 guests · sleeps 130 · 1-night minimum · from €25,000
Alcazar del Garraf, inside the Garraf natural park near Sitges, is €28,000 with three nights and sleeps 22, with catering at €110 a head: more hire, fewer beds, cheaper food. Hotel Castell d'Emporda near Girona is €25,000 for two nights for 40 with food included, and as a hotel it can sleep 130 across 57 suites. Mas Torroella on the Costa Brava is €14,500 with three nights for 30 and takes 200, with no music curfew. Masia Can Ramonet, also in Sitges, is €5,000 with two nights for 30 and sleeps up to 40 across three houses, at a fraction of the hire. Villa Almanita's case against all four is the 52 beds, the licence, the absence of a curfew and the acreage, in one price.
The Barcelona wedding cost guide reads every priced venue in the region the same way, and venues by budget sorts the whole collection into bands.
Who the villa suits
Villa Almanita is for a couple who want a large part of their guest list under one roof for three nights, who want a reception in a working bodega rather than a marquee, and who want to carry on past midnight without a clock. It rewards a full house: 52 beds used and a list near 150 makes the hire work hardest. It is a poorer fit for a wedding of 20 who do not need the rooms, or for a couple who want the lowest possible hire and are happy for guests to sleep in town, for whom Masia Can Ramonet down the road makes more sense. The full collection shows each venue's figures side by side, and an enquiry through us is free and goes straight to the estate.
Questions couples ask us
How much does a wedding at Villa Almanita cost?
The published starting price is €18,000, and the record says that is for a three-night stay in low season, with exclusive hire of the mansion and accommodation for 52 guests included. Catering is from €160 a head on top, and the venue notes discounts for stays of seven nights or longer.
How many guests can stay at the villa?
The price carries beds for 52, across 24 bedrooms in the main house with further in-villa sleeping options on top. For a wedding of 150, that is a third of the list sleeping on the estate.
Is there a curfew?
No. The record lists both no music curfew and no curfew at all, and the estate sits in 80 acres of its own grounds and vineyards outside Sitges, so the party is not constrained by neighbours.
Can we hold the legal ceremony there?
The villa is licensed for marriage. Most non-resident foreign couples cannot hold the binding civil ceremony in Spain, though, and so hold a symbolic one at the villa after the legal step at home.
