The ideal getaway ...
Review Submitted: August 26, 2008

If you are looking for a place that is easy to find, close to the beautiful cities of Girona, Barcelona and the Pyrenees but yet set in rural surroundings for a tranquil rest away from it all then you have found the right place.
The house owners have that "just right" ability to not intrude on your holiday but at the same time make you feel most welcome and offer help if you need it.
The house is in perfect order and the website pictures do not do justice to the copper guttering and stone bathroom sink amongst all the other first class parts of the building.
The pool was again better than the photos, made in beautiful smooth finishings and just right to swim, play and or relax in/beside.
The view is uninterrupted green mountains, rolling into every distance you look. Sat on the porch, sitting room comfy chairs and or standing in the well equipped kitchen, you can also take in the views and relax back to full strength or be inspired to paint and or take photos.
For shoppers there is an Outlet Village situated on route to Barcelona, this is the main area for UK style shopping that we found the closest.
For artists, hikers, cyclists and historians you can take your pick from the many places surrounding you - the only problem is that you never want to leave the beautiful house in the mountains but that's a nice decision to have to make each day...
PS. The local spanish people were friendly to us Brits!

Owner's Response: It is a true pleasure to welcome guests who can enjoy every single detail of the house, appreciate the quietness and privacy of the pool and garden, marvel at the surrounding views.
