The apartment is set in tranquil surroundings and is strategically situated within the heartland of the Catalonian region. The accommodation is surrounded by the imposing peaks of the Pyrenees and set within lush green forests. The immediate landscape reflects the verdant terrain of the Garrotxa, a National Park that experienced volcanic activity in years gone by.

The local area surrounding Can Cruanyes is steeped in medieval history and atmosphere. It is littered with villages boasting rambling narrow streets, beautiful churches and various bars and restaurants.

Must see places of interest are Besalu (10 mins) with its imposing twelfth century fortified bridge and Figueres (25mins) where its famous son Salvador Dali was born still appeals to thousands of visitors every year. 5 mins drive from Can Cruanyes you have secluded rock pools to take a dip or Joseph's labyrinth which both the young and old can puzzle over. The picturesque lake of Banyoles is only 15 mins.

Further details for this holiday farmhouse rental in Tortella, Spain

Local Villages & Towns: Tortella is our local village and gateway to the Alta Garroxta. Here you can do some grocery shopping (the fresh baked bread is a treat as is the home-made wine). The village has a laid back sleepy feel with the people very welcoming.

One of the first places you will encounter locally is the medieval village of Besalu. Pass through the portcullis of the bridge and you are instantly transported back in time. You will encounter narrow, winding streets and open squares flanked with buildings that bear witness to Besalu’s distinguished past.

The town of Figueres whose famous son Salvador Dali still appeals to thousands of visitors every year. Here you can visit the Dali museum where you’ll be offered a unique theatrical experience.

Castellfollit de la Roca is a town which clings dangerously to the side of a cliff. Great for a photo with a little drama!

Girona has all the charm of a large city but without the crowds and is well worth a visit.

Activities: Birdwatching : Best heard and seen in April, June and October.

Walking : There are a few walks that run close to Tortella and Can Cruanyes itself and many others a short drive away.

Golfing : The nearest golf course is Torremirona which is only 25 minutes drive away from the accommodation.

Cycling : The region is famed for cycling. Current home to Lance Armstrong says it all!

Horse riding : Horse riding is an activity well loved in Catalonia and can be enjoyed by the entire family locally.

Costa Brava: The visitor wishing to relax on the beach will be spoilt for choice as there are numerous beaches dotted along the coast.

The Costa Brava with its long sandy beaches is less than an hours drive from Can Cruanyes, and its resorts have everything the dedicated sun worshipper could need. St. Pere de Pescadora beach is only 40 minutes drive from Can Cruanyes.

Cadaques is the most charming town on the Costa Brava. This village is located in a natural harbour in the Cap de Creus peninsula. Cadaques is a Summer destination for tourists from all over the world. This village is also well known as an artists destination.

Other Activities:

Spanish Splendour

Review Submitted: September 26, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2010
Although the property is well sign-posted, a thought of "are we lost?" did cross our minds when our sat-nav first took us down this small winding stony driveway which also initiated our 2nd concern of whether the web-site photos were out of date or photo-shopped beyond recognition. With our very 1st sight of the villa we knew we had made the right accommodation selection. It was exactly as we had hoped for with it's tranquil setting and rustic look it was the Spain we had been wanting to experience. The 3 bedroom Gaudi is great in every sense of the word. The rooms are all clean and large and yet seem cosy at the same time. To be honest we did spend a lot of time sitting on our main terrace with the odd drink or 3 just gazing at the mountains listening to the sound of nothing letting time just wander by but there is plenty to do and all within close proximity. We never tired of the quick drive down to the nearby medieval town of Besalu for a meal, sight-seeing or just a wonder around. Even a lazy day trip to the south of France is in easy reach along with the Costa Brava and many other wonderful places of interest. My best suggestion would be to book the balloon ride from nearby Santa Pau.
Rising into the sky with the breaking of dawn, floating across the Olot region with it's 30 extinct volcanoes, drifting down the valley over Castelfollit del la Rocca and the ancient town of Besalu with the French Pyrenees just there to be marvelled at the entire way, with views all the way out to the Bay of Roses on the Costa Brava while sipping on champagne, doesn't get much better than that. At the end of each day a relaxing dip in the villa's swimming pool is a welcome and enviting treat which should never be under-estimated for all those who are holidaying with children. The owners Donny & Siobhan are ever so friendly and polite and are all too willing to assist or help out in what-ever way they can which all helped give this holiday that real homely feel. The only negative was we wanted to stay longer.

Accommodation was as advertised - clean and well maintained. The owner provided excellent customer service, being available in advance and being present on the site. The swimming pool was excellent and very clean. Surrounding area is very quiet and beautiful. We would certainly recommend this property to our friends and family.

Scenic,peaceful,characteristic & wonderful hosts!

Review Submitted: August 15, 2010 Date of Stay: March 2007
We enjoyed a wonderful time with our kids, and Danish friends at this idyllic and wonderfully situated property. There are some perfectly picturesque surrounding local villages to explore, not to mention Girona and the nearby cosmopolitan city of Barcelona.
Figueres is well worth a look, especially the centrally located Dali museum.
There is simply something to see and do for everyone; the city-lovers and the nature-lovers!

Nature wise, there are a handful of local randonnee walks in the area, as well as a volcanic area with scenic walks - both for young and old legs!

As for the farmhouse: it is a simply a fantastic characteristic Catalonian house to spend your well earned break in - a place that enters your heart, and memory.

Lastly a praise to the two warm and welcoming hosts, Donny and Siobhan : completely and your service when required, yet not imposing in any way, and wonderfully interesting to speak to!

We have, and will continue, to recommend this lovely holiday farmhouse and area to our family and friends,
and we ourselves will most certainly return again at some stage.

A wonderful holiday

Review Submitted: July 31, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010
Thank you for a great stay earlier this month! We spent six days at Can Cruyanes in early July, and the whole family loved it. Our three daughters loved the pool area, and could have spent the entire six days there. We spent a lot of time at Can Cruyanes, though we had some nice trips to the beach, across to France and to surrounding villages and towns. We particularly liked Besalu.
The apartment and the kitchen was very well equipped, and we cooked some nice meals there. We did not miss any thing, and we appreciated the small basket of foods/drink we got upon arrival (particularly as it was a Sunday and shops are closed).
We hope to come back again, and would be happy to recommend this to anyone who is looking for a peaceful break - a bit away from everything. Also thanks to Donny and Siobhan for looking after the property so well, and always being friendly and full of advice when asked!
