Truly a beautiful, picturesque part of the Catalan countryside. Our first stay in La Garrotxa could not have been in a more idyllic setting. Great quality accommodation and surroundings at the Farm house which is divided into independent, self-catering apartments.

Our daughter was in heaven and spent whole days outdoors free-ranging with the dogs, cat and horses. We were lucky enough to be there when a mother goat gave birth to 2 kids which the children adored. A great place to relax and unwind or a base to head out from and explore the natural pools, volcanoes and medieval villages in the area.

Read morePrice exagerate compare to the quality you get there. Appartament are fine, but you have to pay 12 euro /day extra if you want e/c (after you already pay 120 euro/day). Animals are there, but not corresponding to booking pictures...you see then really far... and swimming pool is not clean as it should.
