Complete tranquillity . . . Peaceful location. . .

Seven comfortable self catering cottages in a small, family run finca. Uncrowded, relaxed atmosphere with good facilities, just 30 minutes from beaches and coves, mountains and lakes, Gerona and Figueres.

Ideal for getting away from it all, yet with every kind of holiday activity on the doorstep. Set in extensive grounds surrounded by woods and rolling hills. The Pyrenees form a majestic backdrop providing a sheltered climate even in winter.

Ideal for single, family and group holidays or events. We offer a friendly welcome and help with planning your stay. Great value for money. Near major airports, rail and motorway links. "Such a special tranquil atmosphere and stunning location, with something for everyone to do."



Simply relax in harmony with nature

The cottages are simply but comfortably furnished with two, three or four bedrooms (maximum four to six people), an open plan kitchen/lounge diner with a log burning stove for cosy autumn and winter evenings and a bathroom with shower. Each varies slightly in style and layout, some with traditional catalan stone walls and wooden beamed ceilings, some more modern, yet still rustic in style.

There's plenty of space – between 70 and 90m2 floor area, so whether you are a couple or a larger family, there's a holiday home that will be just right for you. There's plenty of space to relax outside too – each cottage has its own patio or garden area with both sun and shady areas - great for al fresco dining, or simply taking in the surroundings. Some gardens are fenced, some open plan.
18: St Nicolau.The extensive communal gardens contain a 10x5 metre pool with sun loungers, barbecue area, and full size tennis court.

There is a separate TV room with DVD player and a small selection of films, books and games, a boules pitch, and outdoor play house, swing and sand pit for young children. So plenty of space and choice of activity for everyone.

Outside the entrance there is a twelfth century hermitage/chapel and an extensive network of countryside walking and cycling for all levels through the surrounding woods and fields. Within fifteen minutes easy drive there is a good choice of shopping and restaurants with a great range of quality food & wine.
