A brilliant place to stay

Kris en Luc Belgium
Review Submitted: June 15, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Whilst reading the previous reviews, I've been nodding all the time: "yes, yes, that's exactly how it is!". True words indeed to give you an idea of the unparalleled character of Can Merla. We too were lucky enough to experience it all recently: a warm welcome by two lovely people (and two dogs), beautifully designed rooms with that final romantic touch everywhere, spectacular views from every angle of the house; nothing but peace and quiet, short-toed eagles soaring above your head by day, and the cry of a nightjar or a scops owl at night. If you are familiar with the expression "living like God in France" you will no doubt be convinced that back in those days the bounderies of southern France must have included that part of Catalonia where Can Merla is situated...!
Owner's Response: It is indeed fascinating how many different species of birds we have in the area and it was great to learn more from 2 very experienced bird watchers.
Having the farm in the middle of a "Protected Natural Mountain" gives us the opportunity to explore, discover and appreciate the local wild life more.

AWESOME PLACE!

Carolannie and Charlie Pennsylvania
Review Submitted: August 29, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Two years ago, my husband and I were fortunate to discover this remarkable place . . .With our son living in Barcelona, we were looking for a place where we could "meet" and have quality time together. We were pleased beyond our expectations with the visit. Wanting to share this experience with the rest of our family, in June, 2009, 7 of us had the pleasure of visiting Can Merla with our son and partner. NINE of us spent an unforgettable week there . . .We each had our "own space" i.e. , bedroom, bath, etc and the kitchen is a marvel. Very organized and efficient. . .everything well-maintained and clean.

From the first moment of waking to absolute beauty and stillness to spectacular sunset dinners on the patio, it was a perfect time. The views you are seeing on this site do not even begin to do them justice.

However, Can Merla is located in such a central location that while my husband and I enjoyed quiet walks, reading and just relaxing, our grandchildren enjoyed "getting out and about". During our time there, they visited a Monastery, Cadaques', home of Dali, and the Dali's museum. Then we ALL walked the wall around GIrona (awesome), shopped in little villages, had a 5 star culinary delight at Can Roquet, swam in the Mediterranean, saw the sights and shopped again in Barcelona . . . we made memories that will only become heighten with time and will last a lifetime.

Paradise!!

The Ninevites Nineveh, PA, USA
Review Submitted: July 30, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
My husband and two children ages 19 and 20 recently had the great privilege of staying at Can Merla. It was the best trip we've ever had. The house was amazing from each of us having our own private space and bathroom, the fantastic views, the beautiful sunsets, the relaxing pool, the gorgeous grounds, and best of all just being together in such a surreal atmosphere. We toured many areas nearby including a monestary, the wall of Girona, the local beaches, Cadeques, the Dali museum, and Can Roquet, a fabulous restaurant. I would highly recommend this house for anyone who likes to travel.
Owner's Response: Indeed it is a great place to be away from it all in inspiring surroundings, yet close to beaches, Girona, Figueras and the many interesting sites to visit in the area.

What more could you ask for?!

Matski London UK
Review Submitted: October 6, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
My partner and I only had a short weekend to spare and didn't quite know how to spend it - in the hustle and bustle of Barcelona or at a laid back and relaxing guest house in Girona. We picked Girona and arrived late on Friday night and were picked up from the airport and within half an hour we were at the guest house. The house is spectacular! It was apparently recently restored from rubble and is set high in the hills surrounded by lush green forests with beautiful views over Girona and vast mountain ranges in the distance (one could never get bored of these views). The rooms were peaceful and extremely comfortable and I slept like a log every night! We went running each morning on one of the many beautiful trails around the property which was a damn site better than slogging the pavement in London!
The owners were fantastic, giving us information on the local area and beaches (only 30 min drive) and taking us to a local restaurant on our final night.
I've never liked staying at guest houses (well in the UK anyway) but I could not rate this guest house high enough and will definitely be back again and again and again.
Owner's Response: It is indeed amazing how quickly one de-stresses once you arrive at Can Merla.
A small week-end "Break from the City"does wonders for the busy hectic life style most people have these days.

Review Submitted: September 10, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
It's always a little worrying booking a villa on-line- will it live up to it's description- but Can Merla far exceeded our expectations. This property has been beautifully restored a perfect combination of style and comfort with everything my family and I could have wished for.
The house is in a beautiful tranquil location but only 30 mins from both the coast and Gerona giving you the best of both worlds.
The owners made us feel very welcome, sharing both their knowledge of the area and their wonderful home grown produce with us.
I would definitely recommend Can Merla and look forward to visiting it again in the future.
Owner's Response: I can indeed imagine that it can be worrying to rent a villa on line. But I have tried to be as truthful as possible and to give the most honest representation of the farm on the websites.
