Mas Ombravella

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. In the mornings you can join owner ,José, as he feeds and checks on all the farmyard occupants from peacocks, geese, rabbits and tortoises to donkeys, goats, sheep and horse all roaming around together. 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. They have a few basic items available to purchase if needed and Nuria who runs the accommodation side of things could not have been more helpful, bringing us up potatoes from the village, offering to run us into town and laying out some Easter treats for the kids. She even kindly got our barbecue all set up for us! Horse-riding is available just down the road and it will be even nicer place to visit when the swimming pool opens up in the summer season (when we plan to return!)
