Anoia region · Catalunya
The project, in brief
Can Robira is a 3.5-hectare estate (of the original 90) at 420 m above sea level, within the natural surroundings of the Parc Natural de la Muntanya de Montserrat. The farmhouse is lived in and worked by Raquel and Oscar, who have led its restoration since 2015.
The project combines four mutually supporting lines of activity: rural accommodation, private and corporate events, natural wine cellar and applied learning. All grounded in respect for the history of the place and the craft.
Milestones of the farmhouse
A short chronology to understand where we come from, without claiming to be exhaustive.
14th c.
Mas Gras de l'Estela
The farmhouse appears documented under its historical name in the fourteenth century.
1659
Margarida Claramunt + Jaume Rovira
A marriage that gave rise to the surname and, over time, to the name Can Rovira de l'Estela.
17th c.
Adoption of the name Can Rovira
The house becomes established under the Rovira surname; centuries later the spelling with B would follow.
1895
Application for the oratory of the Christ Child
An oratory dedicated to the Nen Jesús is applied for, cementing the spiritual dimension of the place.
2015
Contemporary restoration
Raquel Soler and Oscar launch the current project: accommodation, events, natural wine and learning.
Why "Robira" with a B?
We keep the spelling with B for historical record reasons, in honour of a former owner of the estate and the historic label of the house wine. It is not a mistake: it is memory.
