Due to its rural setting and close proximity to the Pyrenees mountain range, a holiday in Sant Esteve de Llemena is best suited for those people that love the outdoors. There are no high rise hotels here, as there are on the more touristy coastline. Instead, self catering accommodation in Sant Esteve de Llemena is the best option, with each one being equipped and furnished with everything that you need to help make your stay is a comfortable and pleasant one.

If golf is more your thing, then the area around Girona has a couple of courses which you may find enjoyable to play a round on.
