5/5

Nestled in the shade of a kaki tree and offering a beautiful view of the mountains, our well-insulated nature house is simply, cleanly, and peacefully furnished. It has a private bathroom, and a kettle and refrigerator are provided. On the side of the cottage (out of sight of the hosts) is a small patio with a table and chairs. The cottage also serves as a Shiatsu practice, so if you’d like to receive a Shiatsu treatment upon arrival, you can book it in advance. It’s a 5-minute walk to the village of Cànoves, and if you want to head straight into nature, you can step outside through the back exit. There’s a public swimming pool 500 meters from our cottage that’s open during the summer months. Unfortunately, the road leading to our cottage is currently in poor condition (hopefully just temporarily!) and it’s difficult to drive up the hill. If you’re coming by car, it’s best to park down below and walk up—it’s about 300 meters, a 5-minute walk. We can help you with your luggage!

Nature and surroundings

This nature house is located at the foot of the Montseny Natural Park. UNESCO designated the park a protected biosphere reserve in 1978. The park is dominated by three peaks: El Turó de l'Home (1,712 m), Les Agudes (1,706 m), and Matagalls (1,697 m). It is a forested area with many streams. From Cànoves, you can enjoy beautiful hikes and bike rides (both long and short). There is a riding stable nearby that offers horseback rides. In the village, there’s a bakery where you can enjoy a cozy breakfast. There are several restaurants, a vermouth bar, a small supermarket, a fruit shop, and a pharmacy. About 7 km away to the south, west, and east are some larger towns that host weekly markets. If you’re looking for a change of pace and want to take a dip in the Mediterranean Sea, you can get there in half an hour by car. Barcelona and Girona are 44 and 70 km away, respectively, and are easily accessible by public transportation.

    Our hosts, along with their two young daughters, are wonderful people who are—and rightly so—very proud of what they’ve built up there on that mountain. Turning a ruin into a beautiful home is a remarkable achievement. From the cottage, you can go in any direction. Barcelona is nearby. Several beautiful beaches are within easy driving distance. You can start a walk right from the gate at the back of the garden—you’ll find yourself in the woods in no time. We always ate our meals out, visiting three restaurants in the village and enjoying great food and drinks everywhere we went. A tip for people who are feeling a bit "stressed out": this nature house and its surroundings are perfect for recharging.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    There are 8 mailboxes near the little bridge, but this nature house is located on the highest plateau on a 750 m² lot, with beautiful views. The mountain road leading to it is 300 meters long, with a total elevation gain of roughly 36 meters. If this road is difficult to navigate—as it was during our visit—then being in good physical condition is a must. So we left the car down below, where there’s plenty of space to park. No one can sneak up there—the guard dogs (which aren’t allowed to roam freely) belonging to the neighbors living lowest down always bark. The cottage is exactly as described: not too big, with no indoor kitchen, but equipped with basic necessities like a kettle. A wonderful bed/mattress—we slept exceptionally well on it. Outside, there are a few seating areas where it’s nice to relax. The shower, which gets its water from a very deep well, was always nice and warm. Within walking distance is a charming little village with a wonderful bakery and several good restaurants. We felt completely rested and refreshed after 7 days.

    We enjoyed!!! A luxury camping experience with yet the comfort of a good bed and fine shower.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    This nature house was a very nice place in the middle of nature. With a view of the vegetable garden and the mountains beyond, you forget that you are only a 45 minute drive from Barcelona. The hosts are very hospitable and nice people who like to think about how to make your stay even nicer.
