Near Beaches and Golf: Fun, Spacious Stone Home in Medieval Village

Spacious updated "castle" with tower and airconditioning, in medieval village 30 minutes from the best beaches. Ideal for weekender or vacationing families, cycling groups, golfers, history buffs and foodies. Dining/cycling/cultural sites nearby. 1 1/2 h from Barcelona with updated kitchen, bathrooms and heating system. Large communal spaces for dining and relaxing, with outdoor terrace and garden.
The house accommodates 10 guests. A bonus apartment next door is available for up to 4 additional guests for a surcharge if available.
Next to (1 mile from) La Bisbal in a tiny medieval village with lush scenery, best beaches (19.5 km/12 miles away/24 minutes), renowned golf courses, quiet village living.

With 4 bedrooms plus bonus dormitory room/family room with an adjoining deck looking out on the countryside. Comfortably sleeps 10. It has four baths, and a newly remodeled, modern kitchen. It also has a large stone vaulted dining room off the kitchen. It has a spectacular view from the town's original 13th century watch tower and inviting terrace. Spacious and quiet enough for yoga practitioners, insulated enough for boisterous parties, and medieval enough that many of our young guests have called it "Hogwarts."
There is an additional stone cottage adjoining to accommodate groups of 13 for a surcharge.

This home is perfect for the budget conscious traveler or group who enjoys authenticity and village life, but proximity to world class dining, beaches and cultural offerings.


For the more active traveler, Girona is a center for cycling, both road and mountain. Hiking trails have been well developed in the area. There is world class golfing in Pals. The house and area are ideal for any time of year, since there is radiant heat in the home and the year round beauty of the country side. We've had guests stay for a weekend, weeks, or even months. IDEAL FOR A BARCELONA DWELLER or family to escape the city for the quiet to work, hike, relax, and regroup. Can Torre is also an ideal home base for other European travel, since it is close to the French Border and 20 to the Girona airport which has cheap flights to destinations all over Europe.

Charming Medieval Tower Home
Can Torre is a lovely remodeled medieval tower centrally located in Costa Brava. The location in Cruilles is 30 minutes from all the major sights and gorgeous beaches of the area. We had a wonderful time!

Authentic Spanish Experience
Great home base for an authentic old Spanish experience. Rustic charm, yet fully updated, clean and comfortable. Well situated for road cycling with reasonable proximity to Girona, the beaches of the Costa Brava and other other small, picturesque villages.

Nice quiet community, unique accommodation, lots of space
Kristen was quick to reply to any questions before our stay, and Renate at the management team was great. We had 4 couples and there was lots of space for all of us. Located in a quiet community. Problem with the front door was fixed while we were there. We made use of the bikes and washing machine, as well as the dishwasher and oven. There was lots of hot water for showers and baths. Clean bedding and well equipped kitchen. We did not use the garden as it was cooler while we were there. We found parking on the street for our rentals. We traveled to both the beaches and the mountains from this location, as well as the cities of Barcelona and Girona. It was a great location to be away from the city.

plenty of room, great location
We stayed for 12 days, inviting our two sons and their families, plus one set of inlays, the two groups overlapping one day. There was plenty of room for all (10) and a great layout for our particular needs. We loved being in a very small, and very old, village. And we were very close to a large town (Bisbal) with all of the facilities that you would expect in a city. Even made ample use of the bicycles that were available. It's an excellent location for seeing that part of Spain, and even France if you are willing to drive a bit. Would recommend it highly.

Charming historic house in Cruilles, Spain.
We had an amazing time. There were four of us and we loved the rustic, historical Can Torre. The town is close to many attractions so we used it as our base and traveled to towns and villages close by. We had dinner at Jordi's in La Bispal the night we arrived and had amazing food and service that we returned for dinner on the last night of our stay.

Lovely house and village, again !!
Geweldig huis, ruim plek voor 10-12 personen. Meerdere badkamers, compleet uitgeruste keuken met vaatwasser, oven en nespresso machine. Op rij afstand van grote supermarkt, kleine boodschappen bij Bar Ester in Cruilles. Prachtige strandjes en stadjes in nabije omgeving. Kan aanbevelen!

Verified traveller

Charming historic house in the county, more rustic than expected.
We are a family of five (three kids). It’s a charming historic house, however more “rustic” than we expected. The cons: within an hour of arriving, we found a dead bat on the kitchen floor, and my son found several very alive cockroaches in the bathroom. The rental agency handled both issues, unfortunately this make us question the overall cleanliness of the house. Less than ideal start to the week. The hot water heater stopped working twice during our stay. Also be aware that the ceiling in the dining area leaves a layer of dust on part of the dining room table; this may be an issue if trying to seat more than five people. We had a hard time keeping the house cool with only fans. Opening the windows let in a wonderful breeze, but the windows don’t have screens, therefore it also let in bugs. The pros: the location is in a small, charming Medieval town only a few minutes’ drive from La Bisbal, 25 mins from the closest beaches, good location for exploring the area. (We did a daytrip to France to explore the Cathar castles.) The terrace was my favorite spot. The kids loved the tower. Kitchen had modern appliances, which all worked well (except for hot water heater). We tried to have a sense of humor about all the small issues (several others I didn’t list) calling it part of the “Medieval experience.” The other reviews are overwhelming positive, I’m not sure why our experience was so different.
