L’Avenc is a family home with self-catering cottages, studios and rooms with wonderful views and delicious breakfasts and evening meals. We can cater for business retreats as an unique revenue that will enliven your work team. Yoga retreats, and small family celebrations are welcome. Awarded first prize in Responsible tourism in 2013, we started by restoring the 13th-16th century masia in 1997, where we lived until 2016, to its former glory, have introduced renewable energy in the form of solar panels and a wind generator, and are currently running the cattle farm and co-managing the area of outstanding natural beauty with the trust: Fundació Catalunya-La Pedrera. We finished our new wing (May 2013) and offer from that moment simple rural comfort and delicious breakfasts. We are open nearly all year round and are committed to keeping the countryside beautiful and visitable, keeping small villages alive, employing local residents and to enhancing and supporting animal welfare.
We immediately felt like we were in a scene out of James Bond when the underground garage doors opened. L’avenc is set in a stunning location and an ideal spot if you are looking for peace and tranquility although if you are active there are some great walks. The hotel is tastefully decorated and very light and open. The food is excellent and the staff very attentive and helpful. We had a studio apartment which was fully equipped which allowed us to cook for ourselves a few times. The rooms are spotless and really my only complaint is the quality of the pillows!

Just in the way to change and try a new restaurant in Manresa, we were in the turo de la Torre. On Saturday they have a menu and ‘carta’ with lots of exquisite dishes. We have chosen menu and for starters there are 5 small dishes really tasty and a main one, that in my case I got fish with vegetables. For dessert ‘sorbet de mango’ and espresso. Aceptable price after this good meal. Good restaurant eat on it.

Cal Carulla is a farmhouse dated from 14th century and located in L'Astor, a medieval village of 14 inhabitants and only 85 km far from Barcelona. The old agricultural buildings have been restored to become to 7 country cottages with capacity from 2 to 32 people. In a privileged environment, Cal Carulla has all kind of comforts and quality facilities with garden and outdoor pool, games room, sensations heated pool and horses. Each country cottage is fully equipped and decorated with rustic style and sophisticated at the same time, and we have taken care of even the smallest details: fireplace, stone walls, wooden beams and antique furniture. Comfort and enjoyment are more than guaranteed! Cal Carulla is the perfect choice for families, couples and groups looking for relaxing experiences, a break and to reconnect with the nature.
This hotel is really great. From the very nice design of the rooms, to the friendly owners, awesome pool and underground spa, to the very picturesque village with only 24 inhabitants and their very cozy restaurant. Perfect to go here with your family or a group of friends. We stayed here with our four months daughter, and our close friends. Bring your own food for breakfast, BBQs, and drinks is recommended as well. The surroundings are very beautiful, perfect for a bicycle trip or walk. Highly recommended, especially if you need a very relaxed break.

The origins date back to the 16th century. The walls and settings keep the flavour of the years although it has been rebuilt a lot. The farmhouse is in the midst of Collsacabra a privileged area,in Rupit, where you can enjoy the tranquility and scenery, ideal for excursions.La masia data del S.XVI, las paredes y piedras son testigos de los años per está totalmente reformada con todas las comodidades. La masia la encontramos en medio del Collsacabra, en Rupit, lugar ideal para gozar del paisaje y la tranquilidad.
Absolutely beautiful place. We have been here several times, now. A converted farm house with large rooms, very comfortable. The view is superb. The manager of Mas, Elizabeth (Beth) and Emilia, are helpful, friendly & kind souls. Meal quality is fantastic, well balanced, and plentiful. If it's your first time there, it will be very easy to miss. Take the road that butts to C153 at the 34km marker. It's a twisty road, but you'll eventually come upon Mas. A fave!

Mas Postius is a charming rural accommodation native of S.XII , surrounded by nature and thousands of places to discover.Until 1998 the house was abandoned with difficult access, without electricity or running water, but was lucky enough to fall into the hands of Antonio Palou Carles , an enterprising boy who with the help of his family, he got his dream, reforming a masia turning it into a lovely living space to our times .The farmhouse has a chapel that was originally built near the neighboring village of l' Estany and moved to the side of the house , in 1700 when the owners sold the land where it was situated . They can also enjoy an indoor pool with a solar maintaining a temperature from 18 º/20 º.The setting of the house is ideal for hiking . You can see spectacular sunsets and magnificent scenery .If you want to unwind, enjoy nature , tranquility , welfare and family and welcoming a deal, do not hesitate to discover the MAS POSTIUS.
We had booked via Hotels.com. When we arrived, the host was acting irritated and behaved very rude. Apparently they were closed. We shoved our reservation - they did not really care, they were closed! We called Hotels.com, nothing was wrong with our reservation, and they could not get in contact with the hotel - even though we could see them sitting on the patio. Hotel is not friendly, not helpfully and not service minded at all. But very impolite. One star is for the view - very nice indeed.

I'm convinced the person who wrote the bad review must have been to a different hotel. We have stayed at Ca l' Americano six times in every season now and it is consistently fabulous. We are also very discerning as we used to run a niche website discovering small and special places to stay off the beaten track and only the best that met our strict criteria made it to our recommend list. Even through we closed our website, this is a place we continue to visit as one of our top favourites. Our most recent visit was in February 2013 and it was the only weekend it has snowed. We decided to go anyway, and had a great time. The family who run this place are true professionals. They know what good service means and serve up the most mouthwatering food. I still dream about my next visit. Another amazing thing about this place is the small but perfectly formed wine list that caters for all pockets. Each wine is carefully tried, tested and approved by the family before it gets on the list and they have some excellent wines. Like the hotel, La llacuna itself is a hidden gem. A small 'pueblo' nestling in lovely countryside not far from the vineyards of Penedes, it's a haven to explore the surrounding area for walkers, runners, cyclists or just to chill out over a drink in the pretty square. If you go, try '3 negres' - the gorgeous local red wine. I would say this is a perfect place to go for lovers of good food, wine and generally for a great break. They have immaculate apartments or double rooms, a pool and fab terrace, which in the summer has fantastic outdoor dining with the most divine tapas you will ever taste. Thank you for another fantastic visit! We'll be back...in July.

IN THE HEART OF CATALONIA, CLOSE TO ANY PLACE. The MAS SET-RENGS, Is situated in the Bages district, between the municipalities of Castellfollit del Boix and Sant Salvador de Guardiola, very CLOSE TO MONTSERRAT.
