De laatste 3 km naar het huis is onverhard, maar goed te doen met de auto. Wat een rust en prachtig uitzicht! Het was erg warm dus zwembad elke dag gebruikt. De eigenaren wonen in hetzelfde huis en zijn erg behulpzaam. Spreken uitstekend Nederlands en dat is best handig omdat wij nagenoeg geen Spaans spreken. Ze hebben goede tips waar we dankbaar gebruik van hebben gemaakt. ##### Arrien v.

Une belle batisse qui a traversé les âges et qui a ete restaurée avec gout par leur propriétaire. La piscine est un petit oasis de fraîcheur ! Les propriétaires Jorges et Lana sont très sympathiques et tres avenants . Ils sont toujours de bon conseils pour visiter la région. Ils ont été aux petits soins pour nous. La region est juste sublime. Un petit regret : on a pas su tout visiter... on devra revenir 🙂 ##### Ludovic G.

Los propietarios viven al lado. Serviciales, honestos y atentos, conocen bien la zona y siempre aconsejarán bien sobre que hacer. Baños en sus ríos, senderos, pueblos medievales, volcanes y mucho más. Gracias ##### Jordi A. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2020 From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mauricio H. 22 Aug 2018 #### Una casa perfecta con unos anfitriones inmejorables Pasamos una semana en casa de Anna y Jorge y no podemos estar más contentos. Son majísimos, atentos y generosos (nos regalaron verduras excelentes de su huerta!). La casa es una pasada (anexa a una iglesia antigua, limpia, con buenas camas, lavavajillas, jardín, barbacoa...), y está en un entorno precioso, alejada del ruido y rodeada de bosques de ensueño. Soy aficionado al ciclismo y Jorge me recomendó varias rutas que disfruté muchísimo. Incluso me dejé algunas cosas que me enviaron sin que yo tuviera que pedírselas. Si estás buscando pasar unos días en la Garrotxa te recomiendo que te quedes en la Rectoría. ##### Mauricio H. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cathy N. 14 Aug 2018 #### Encantados Hemos pasado una semana muy agradable en un entorno espectacular. La casa tiene todo lo que se puede necesitar, adornada con buen gusto y tiene un jardín excepcional. Adultos y niños lo pasamos genial allí. Anna y Jorge son unos anfitriones encantadores. Además, es un lugar estratégico para visitar y disfrutar de La Garrotxa. ##### Cathy N. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### arsi 4 Feb 2011 #### Muy recomendable Estuvimos un fin de semana de enero y la verdad es que muy a gusto. La pareja que lleva la casa fue muy amable, y la casa muy acojedora con unas vistas por la mañana impresionantes. Además la casa tiene de todo, completamente equipada. Repetiría. ##### arsi ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Hotel Cartago Nova by ALEGRIA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malgrat-De-Mar-Hotels-Htop-Cartago-Nova.h1216773.Hotel-Information) > - [PortAventura Hotel El Paso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salou-Hotels-PortAventura-Hotel-El-Paso-Theme-Park-Tickets-Included.h892513.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Roses Platja](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Roses-Hotels-Hotel-Prestige-Coral-Platja.h598319.Hotel-Information) > - [Bon Repos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calella-Hotels-Hotel-Bon-Repos.h1486924.Hotel-Information) > - [AQUA Hotel Promenade & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pineda-De-Mar-Hotels-AQUA-Hotel-Promenade-Spa.h1418259.Hotel-Information) > - [ DWO Sirius -Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Susanna-Hotels-DWO-Sirius-By-Checkin.h1459663.Hotel-Information) > - [B&B Hotel Girona 3](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salt-Hotels-BB-Hotel-Girona-3.h90679182.Hotel-Information) > - [Cap Sa Sal - Sa Roca 1](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Begur-Hotels-Cap-Sa-Sal-Sa-Roca-1.h38124555.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Terraverda at Empordà Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gualta-Hotels-Hotel-Emporda-Golf.h1526688.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Horitzó by Pierre & Vacances](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blanes-Hotels-Hotel-Horitzo-Superior-By-Pierre-Vacances.h1986368.Hotel-Information) > - [Medplaya Aparthotel Sant Eloi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tossa-De-Mar-Hotels-Medplaya-Aparthotel-San-Eloy.h2463132.Hotel-Information) > - [10 Bedrooms Villa|Tennis & Basketball court|Soccer Field|Near Beaches &Barcelona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sils-Hotels-10-Bedrooms-Villa-In-SpainLarge-Pool.h33605992.Hotel-Information) > - [4R Gran Regina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salou-Hotels-4R-Gran-Regina.h1174968.Hotel-Information) > - [PortAventura Hotel Roulette](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salou-Hotels-PortAventura-Hotel-Roulette-Theme-Park-Tickets-Included.h8658170.Hotel-Information) > - [Estival Eldorado](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambrils-Hotels-Estival-El-Dorado-Resort.h1418027.Hotel-Information) > - [ Wecamp Cala Montgó](https://www.expedia.co.uk/LEscala-Hotels-Camping-Cala-Montgo.h66509318.Hotel-Information) > - [Camping Bella Terra](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blanes-Hotels-Camping-Bella-Terra.h48701164.Hotel-Information) > - [Pierre & Vacances Salou](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salou-Hotels-Pierre-Vacances-Residence-Salou.h4919678.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Costa Brava](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blanes-Hotels-Hotel-Costa-Brava.h1881537.Hotel-Information) > - [Alannia Salou Resort ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salou-Hotels-Alannia-Salou.h75597503.Hotel-Information) > - [ FERGUS Club Pineda Splash](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pineda-De-Mar-Hotels-30-Degrees-Hotel-Pineda-Splash.h1650656.Hotel-Information) > - [Ohtels Vila Romana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salou-Hotels-Ohtels-Vila-Romana.h1628011.Hotel-Information) > - [La Bionda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Begur-Hotels-La-Bionda.h45273564.Hotel-Information) > - [Pierre & Vacances Blanes Playa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blanes-Hotels-Pierre-Vacances-Blanes-Playa.h17505426.Hotel-Information) > - [Ponient Dorada Palace by PortAventura World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salou-Hotels-Dorada-Palace.h2691945.Hotel-Information) > - [Gran Hotel Reymar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tossa-De-Mar-Hotels-Gran-Hotel-Reymar.h8132.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Stella Maris](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blanes-Hotels-Hotel-Stella-Maris.h1712221.Hotel-Information) > - [AQUA Hotel The Breeze & Spa - All Inclusive - Adults Only +18](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Susanna-Hotels-AQUA-Hotel-The-Breeze-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only-18.h1486918.Hotel-Information) > - [Mercury](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Susanna-Hotels-Hotel-Mercury.h1443203.Hotel-Information) ---
