Needs and animals

Look after the house | Animals with specific needs | Big garden | Pool maintenance | 1 Dog

The central heating runs on wood, so you would need to be comfortable to feed it 2~3 times a day in winter time starting from end of October - and no worries, we'll teach you how to do it, it's modern and easy thing ,-) The garden is relativly easy to maintain, just watering outdoors and indoor, we'll show you the "where and how". Our dog "Lima" is a small beagle mix. Very quit, friendly, easy-going and courious as all beagles. And as most beagles she always needs someone around for company, that's why we cannot leave her in a dog hotel. She needs at least 2~3 hours of outside hours every day. Although we don't have a fence around, she normally stays inside the house areal, so most of her "moving time" needs to be done by walking her around - but she will adore to go along with you one of the many paths through the forest ;-) Beside that, she is totally okay with car driving. So no matter what places you go to visit, taking her with you will be no problem. You will get one of our guest appartments but can also freely use the whole common area. …

House

It is an old Masia (Catalan farm house), mostly restored to modernized standards and additional two buildings. The main house has our own flat, two appartments and a large common area. It's all fully refurbished to modern standards, heating, warm water etc., all very new. And we just opened this year our Hostal Rural for our guests ,-) It's surrounded by our own forrest, our town is about 3 minutes by car or 10 minutes by foot away. There are a multitude of hinking ways, directly starting or passing by or you can be at the beach with just 10 minutes drive by car. Or visit Barcelona or Girona, both some 50 minutes by car.

We have a 600 MBit internet connection which should suit every zoom and teams fan ,-) There is a laundry room with dryer and washing machine and a clima installation for all places. As we did just finish the large part of the reformation it's all pretty new and modern, although we tried to maintain a lot of the historic appearance. Various garden areas and terraces should allow you to enjoy our outdoor live and in the evening you can enyjoy the large commen space in the Masia.

Near a bus stop

At this time of the year it should be very quite and relaxing. You need a car to get around however as bus stops by not more the 1x per hour and also for buying food and other stuff doing everything with public transport is possible but costs time. There are weekly markets in the towns around us to discover and also the Costa Brava is not too far away with a car. You could even hunt for mushrooms as the valleys here in this area are well known for this.

Cauneille, France - January 2023

Nous avons apprécié de rencontrer Claudia et Soren et de nous occuper de leur propriété. Ils nous ont accueillis avec un bon repas, et nous ont clairement expliqué leurs attentes concernant la maison et les plantes. Notre séjour s’est agréablement déroulé et nous les recommandons vivement. Nous serons heureux de retourner les voir pour un autre séjour.
