Cada casa tiene tres habitaciones amplias, con camas para siete personas, y un baño grande en el piso superior, y otro baño en el piso bajo. Hay juegos y actividades para niños y jóvenes. La campiña preciosa. La piscina impecable, se comparte con dos casas vecinas. El único inconveniente es el olor a abono que, de acuerdo al viento, invadía la zona en ciertas horas. ##### Esther F.

La finca está totalmente equipada, en una zona muy tranquila cercana al pueblo de Vilavenut y a Banyoles. La atención de los dueños ha sido muy buena, incluso nos han recomendado sitios para comprar y restaurantes con buena calidad precio. Sin duda, recomendaré Cal duc a cualquier grupo que quiera visitar la zona. ##### Vanesa M. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alex A. 27 Nov 2018 #### Great house, great stay We have been at Cal Duc more than 10 times, and it is a place that we always recommend to all our friends. The house is very comfortable and has all the items you need. We usually go there with friends and children and they all love a lot the outside spaces It is a good place to make some barbecue outside while the kids play in the football pitch or in the swimming pool. The surroundings are well conserved and really quiet. The house is near Banyoles that has a lot of things to do and see. The owners are really kind and they offer you help in case you need it. They also offer the possibility to take the children to a fun games area owned by them. We organized there our 10 wedding anniversary and booked a special space that they have to put more than 80 people, it went great. We will repeat for sure. ##### Alex A.

Lugar perfecto para desconectar y descansar. Instalaciones muy confortables, para mayores y niños. Lastima no poder aprovechar la piscina en estas fechas ya refresca pero nos quedamos con las ganas de disfrutarla. Ideal como campo base para conocer la garotxa. Tiene todos los utensilios para realizar barbacoas, paellas para el divertimento familiar. ##### josep maria p.

El entorno es idílico, las opciones que ofrece de ocio las casas son estupendas. Mi grupo de amigos pasamos un fin de semana de lo más entretenido, admás alquilamos "el cobert" y pudimos disfrutar de unas sesiones de Swing magníficas. Se encuentra totalmente aislado de vecinos por lo que puedes disfrutar de música sin molestar a nadie y con toda la calma de la naturaleza. Cerca dispones del pueblecito o bien de Banyoles con toda oferta gastronómica y comercial. Recomiendo una BBQ en la zona exterior. La casa está totalmente equipada y con utensilios completos para cocinar, incluso un arroz para 16 personas! Simplemente perfecto lugar y mejor opción de alojamiento rural! ##### Alexandra R. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pere R. 20 Nov 2013 #### Fantástico La verdad es que nunca había estado en un alojamiento rural y creo que será difícil superar a Cal Duc. Alquilamos las tres casas (éramos 19) y el Cobert (espacio muy amplio y perfectamente equipado con todos los utensilios necesarios para cocinar (cocina industrial) y para hacer barbacoas. Lo único que no acompañó fue el tiempo que fue lluvioso. La atención de Albert fue exquisita en todo momento . Repetiremos ##### Pere R. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### montserrat 5 Nov 2012 #### Fantastica Hemos estado durante este fin de semana para celebrar el cumpleaños de mi pareja, dado que eramos 14 nos instalaron en la nina i la nena. Las casas estaban limpias, con todas las comodidades (lavaplatos, horno, microondas, tostadoras, lavadora...), las camas comodas, con unas nordicas calentitas y con las sabanas que olian a limpio... me encanta meterme en la cama con ese olor a sabanas acabadas de sacar de la lavadora mmmm Los espacios fantasticos, con campo de futbol, basquet, voley, tirolina, ping-pong, columpios, tobogan...i una piscina con unas vistas... dos barbacoas una al lado de la casa y otra detras con una mesa enorme con bancos de piedra... y la tranquilidad... madre mia que tranquilidad, salias de la casa ni un ruido, con esas amplias vistas ... Para recomendar al 100% ##### montserrat ---
