Garrotxa holiday cottage with pool & gardens by the Spanish Pyrenees

Magic and lovely place!"

Fantastic holiday. Beautiful place, and Sylvia could not have been more hospitable. Thanks!"

We had a lovely time at Garrotxa, and were made very welcome by our hosts, who were delightful. A charming summer house, an old water mill, surrounded by wooded hills and with plenty to see. The rooms were tastefully decorated and we were very grateful for the mosquito netting over the windows. We swam in the mill pond every day, which was very in keeping with the property. In a constructive way, I hope, I offer three observations. We were fortunate to be staying at the mill when it was hot, both during the day and at night. Because the master bedroom is immediately beneath the roof, it was roasting hot at night and quite uncomfortable. Our hosts gave us a fan for our last couple of days and that made a significant difference to our comfort. I mentioned the mill pond, which we swam in - well, it would have been useful to have had a pool net to remove leaves etc We didn't mind that much but not everyone will feel the same. Finally, the cook extractor fan and cupboard are so low, it is difficult to stand over the cook when preparing a meal. It's not a big deal, but that's the feedback. We had a lovely time and really appreciated the warmth of our welcome."

The accommodation was excellent, everything was as described on your website and we really enjoyed our stay. The area was good and we found lots of interesting things to do. The only feedback which I would offer which might be of benefit to future guests is that it would be helpful to have more information about things to do in the area. Maybe a visitors book where people could leave information about places to eat etc. We discovered a number of good restaurants, went hot air ballooning and found wild swimming within a few miles of the property. Please don't take this feedback as a criticism, just information which we hope will be useful. The service we received from Rustical Travel was efficient, professional and courteous throughout. We would certainly use you again and have already recommended you to a number of friends."

I had every intention of contacting you with comments on the villa CA26. Our 3 wk. vacation on Spain just came to an end and we absolutely loved this most beautiful villa. I personally wished we stayed longer. The whole family felt very warm and comfortable. Please give our best regards to Anna and Joaquim- very nice people!"

Just to say thanks for a great holiday. Anna and Joaquim were helpful and friendly and we were delighted to find that the house was just as beautiful as adverised! The fresh water pool is probably a bit cold for people from Mediterranean countries, but it was fine for us. We loved the house and the area and had a fantastic time."

The property is gorgeously situated and my family (with 2 young daughters 9 and 7 years old) had a spectacular time. It was a perfect vacation. Although quietly situated (and a slight trek out), there are many towns (large and little, including major sites) that are within easy reach by driving. In terms of its position in the country side, the property is divine! It is extremely spacious. The owners are extremely sweet who took great personal care of us. I would recommend this property, without question, for those looking for an off the beaten track holiday."

The property was wonderful and the owners were lovely and extremely helpful."

Another lovely trip from Rustical Travel! The property was in a very tranquil and secluded location, yet the owners Ana & Joaquim were only a walk away if we needed anything. The mill and the casita were very traditional but comfortable and the setting and pools were idyllic. My two teenage boys loved it - despite the lack of sun and some rain, it was great to spend so much time outdoors.... We ate out in the evenings and found plenty of local food - beware though that mainly Catalan is spoken in this area, so ordinary Spanish was sometimes not understood! There were no English tourists whatsoever - heaven! My younger son had a particularly good trip, as his dream came true - Joaquim owns an old American military Jeep and he kindly let my husband drive it round the farm with the boys. It made his holiday! I would definitely recommend this property - it was a big shame that the weather was not good for us - I understand that normally at this time of year it is hot and sunny. We would love to return to this area! Thanks for our third trip with Rustical Travel - we are still impressed with you all!"

We really enjoyed our stay in the "molina". A great setting for a family holiday, wonderful natural pool, pick your veg and fruit in the garden and lots of interesting excursions from this base into pyrenees, volcanic region, Olot, Banyoles etc. It was a nice change from spending another week at the beach - and the restuarants were superb and less than half cost of costal equivalents. The children enjoyed discovering toads, fish, horses, lizards etc and loved the family dogs."
