Mas El Guitart Casa Rural i Spa — Hotel in la Vall de Bianya

We visited this lovely converted dairy farm a few days after the infamous "snow in Barcelona". However, not even that could prepare us for beauty of the Pyrenees in all their snowy magnificence. The owners, Toni and Lali, have created an environment which would appeal to honeymooners (with their own suite), families and couples. The region, La Garrotxa, is largely volcanic and as such, offers myriad opportunities for birdwatching, hiking, cycling and of course, skiing. We went with a (slightly poorly) 10 month-old for two days and our only regret was in having so little time to explore the area.||We took mugs of hot tea onto the balcony on our first morning to sit and admire the peaceful panorama. The loudest sounds were a couple of woodpeckers calling, and a contented cow clearing her throat on the other side of the valley.||The rooms were spotless and generous in size with extra bed-space available. They offered us a cot for the baby. The communal kitchen allowed us to knock up some supper with provisions from nearby Olot - which even boasts a couple of Michelin starred restaurants, and Toni and Lali offer a hearty breakfast, to start your day.|| Mas el Guitart (they call them casas rurales) has its own pool and spa and offers massage therapy for weary walkers. There are a few child-friendly animals to play with; books and games and - for the desperate - a TV. We didn't do justice to this largely undiscovered region and are already planning a return trip. Next time we'll bring binoculars and walking boots.||Hemos desfrutado de un maravilloso fin de semana en un lugar espectacular y una region inolvidable. Sin ninguda duda lo recomendaré a mi...

What a beautiful family!||||What a beautiful place!||||A charming house in spectacular countryside run by the nicest people.||Our family of 3 had the pleasure of staying here for 2 nights in September in the rabbit room and couldn't fault it.The place was spotlessly clean and the attention to detail was incredible.||Everything had been thought of and left you wanting for nothing.i would certainly recommend staying here ,it's quiet peaceful,cosy and welcoming.||Thankyou for showing us such warm hospitality ,it gives us such fond memories of our trip to Spain. Also a big thanks for posting back our travel adaptor plug which we stupidly left behind. These lovely hard working couple have not had a real holiday in the last. 20 years, I hope they listened to us and take 1 month off min a year from now on. They certainly deserve it. Barcelona accommodation providers could learn so much from these 2.||||Kindest regards Pia,Matt and Finn...

The hotel is great, very nice location, not far from Olot but isolated enough. It has outdoor swimming pool, a small grass football field, basketball and tennis. So, good place to go with kids if you choose one of the cheaper rooms.||||We stayed a night at the suite de l'aigua room, couple's stay. ||The price for what we got was amazing: big room with kitchen, around 70sqm. Breakfast, dinner served at the room (very good). And downstairs, just below the toom, the SPA, with free access all the day and exclusive stay from 8PM till 11AM. ah, and we got a complimentary massage each, 30min.||||In the morning we drove around 10min and did the Cami Roma trekking, following the path of an old roman road (you still walk on it in a lot of sections). Really nice, easy level bu need to be moderately fit, we did around 3h||||All in all, really nice location and amazing stay at the suite de l'aigua,...
