Property for Sale in Olivella
real estate in Olivella, Garraf
Olivella is a small municipality in the Garraf, inland and uphill from Sitges, with a village core and several large low-density urbanisations. It is where buyers go for a bigger plot and quiet than the coast allows, at the edge of the Garraf natural park.
Most of the housing is not in the village at all but spread across urbanisations such as Mas Milà and Can Suria, laid out on generous plots among the pines. Houses are detached almost without exception, and land goes further here than anywhere else within reach of Sitges.
The trade is straightforward: space and quiet in exchange for the car. There is little in the way of shops or services in the urbanisations themselves, and Sitges, roughly ten kilometres down the hill, is where daily life happens. The reward is a plot size and a degree of privacy the coastal towns cannot offer at any price.
The Garraf natural park sits immediately around it, which limits how much more can ever be built.
What makes Olivella exceptional
Plot size
Land goes further here than anywhere else within reach of Sitges.
Genuinely quiet
Low-density urbanisations among the pines, bounded by the natural park.
A car is not optional
Sitges is about ten kilometres downhill, and that is where the services are.
Who it suits
Buyers who want a detached house on a large plot with real privacy, and who are content that every errand involves a drive. It suits people with horses, workshops or a need for space that a coastal plot will not give.
Price guide
Consistently the lowest per square metre within the Sitges orbit, and the widest range: condition and access vary enormously between urbanisations, and a house needing work on a large plot prices very differently from a finished one. Ask for comparables on the specific urbanisation rather than the municipality.

Frequently asked questions
Where is Olivella?
In the Garraf, inland and uphill from Sitges, roughly ten kilometres from the town. Most of the housing sits in urbanisations such as Mas Milà and Can Suria rather than in the village itself.
Why buy in Olivella rather than Sitges?
Plot size and quiet. Land goes considerably further than on the coast, and the urbanisations are low density and bounded by the natural park. The trade is that a car is necessary for everything.
Is there much to do in Olivella itself?
Not in the urbanisations, which are residential. The village has a small centre, and Sitges about ten kilometres away is where the shops, schools and beaches are.
What kind of property is in Olivella?
Detached houses on large plots, almost without exception, across a very wide range of condition and finish. Prices vary more with the specific urbanisation and the state of the house than with the municipality.
