Very beautiful and charming property and house. The house is old, with a lot of character and decorated with a lot of love. It’s well equipped and everything is in good condition and well maintained. If you like experiencing a historic property with a beautiful pool in a rural setting and lots of space, this is for you!

House spotless and beautifully decorated, Mira a great host. Great surroundings and plenty to do in the area. The only flaw was the absence of aircon (small fans inadequate for 39/40 degrees Celsius including at night). Also the mosquito netting needed upgrading. Overall a great experience nonetheless.

Magnifique bâtiment ancien, avec des volumes impressionnants, modernisé et aménagé avec goût. Calme absolu (à part les braiments de l'âne du domaine !). Beau jardin ombragé, grande piscine très agréable. Accueil délicieux (en français) de Mila, qui reste parfaitement joignable pendant tout le séjour. Le gardien habite sur un côté du jardin mais est très discret et sympathique. Cuisine immense et bien équipée, chambres variées en taille et en mobilier, belles salles de bain. Ménage et changement de linge à mi-séjour. La Bisbal est à moins de 10 mn pour les courses et les plages, de L'Escala à Palafrugell, sont accessibles en 25-30 mn.Petits points un peu moins positifs : en été il fait très chaud à l'étage (3 chambres), et il est à peu près impossible d'aérer la nuit à cause des moustiquaires. On doit se contenter des ventilateurs (nombreux) pour avoir un peu d'air. Et (mais c'est une nuisance générale dans cette région) l'abondance des élevages, notamment porcins, dans les environs fait qu'une odeur de lisier assez désagréable se fait souvent sentir en fonction des vents. Pour la même raison, beaucoup de mouches et autres insectes piqueurs dans le jardin.

Une demeure paradisiaque

Nous avons passé une merveilleuse semaine chez Mila, dans son somptueux mas, chargé d’histoire, de vieilles pierres et d’élégance raffinée. Le calme est inspiré par la décoration de l’intérieur et par le jardin paisible. Pour se ressourcer entourés de belles choses. Un grand merci à Mila de nous avoir permis de profiter de tout cela.

Great house for your Spanish vacation

Our family of five spent an unforgettable week in this country house and we would strongly recommend it to families (or groups of friends) looking to be close to, yet not in the middle of everything (especially in August). We took day trips to Barcelona, the beaches and even France (the Carcassonne visit was amazing) and came back to the tranquility of the countryside for quiet dinners by the pool. The kids enjoyed splashing in the pool, feeding the horse, the pony and the donkey across the road and just running around. The nearby hotel provides a great backup plan for dinner and/or breakfast if you are not in a mood to cook or BBQ in the house. The kitchen has the cooking necessities (nothing fancy but it did the trick for our needs). The house itself is huge, the spirit of the old days is preserved even after the substantial renovation. There were toys for the kids which they really enjoyed. The WiFi was somewhat spotty outside the living room but that also provided a nice break from all the connectivity. There is a property keeper who lives in an adjacent building but we had our privacy and the kids enjoyed playing with his dog. He was also there to greet us and give us the keys. Make sure you ask for specific directions to the house as the last 500m can be tricky as the house is off the main road. We had to rely on our poor Spanish to call and arrange for the housekeeper to meet us by the hotel and then guide us back to the house (not a big deal but could save you 30 min of driving around). We loved the location, the house and had great time!

A Wonderful Family Stay

My wife and I, with son, daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren (ages 7 and 9) enjoyed a wonderful week at the Mas. There is little to add to other reviews....our son and daughter-in-law, both of whom live strenuous lives, said that there stay was the most relaxing time they've had in years, while the grandchildren loved to retire to the loft to read, when they weren't in the pool or talking to the donkey (!) while we found it a perfect place to be with family. The location couldn't be better, with proximity to all of the cultural amenities mentioned in other reviews as well as great beaches and restaurants. Theo took good care of us in an unobtrusive way. Highly recommended for a family or group of friends - good value for parties of six or more.

Beautiful 400-year-old Catalonian farmhouse

This 400-year-old Catalonian farmhouse is beautiful, and very well maintained. The rooms are huge, there are several bedrooms with large bathrooms, a library containing many books, art throughout, a piano, a children's room with hundreds of toys in it, a dining area in the kitchen with table to seat 24, plus a smaller dining area attached, an absolutely spectacular, comfortable, modern sitting room complete with massive fireplace, bar, and television. There is also wifi. Bathrooms are completely modernized, and the kitchen/pantry area includes a dishwasher, clothes-washer and dryer, along with excellent cooking facilities. The updating has not detracted from the old farmhouse atmosphere in any way. Family photos are everywhere, giving the feeling of a loved and well-used home. The large, beautiful garden with exquisitely tiled pool, is replete with flowers, trees, and shrubs as well as an outdoor eating area, and large play space for children. There are three horses and a donkey living in an adjacent field, all of which enjoyed the carrots, lettuce and apples we took to them on a daily basis. For dog-lovers, there is a large, friendly one who is great with children (but only if you want him around. Otherwise he is taken off by his owner.) Miguel and Theo are family retainers living on the property and both are available and willing to take care of any needs in an unobtrusive way. Members of the family who own the place also dropped by to make sure we were comfortable, and declared themselves available, should we need assistance. The location is excellent, with beautiful beaches, and restaurants nearby, as well as the Dali Museum in Figueres, two first-class archaeological sites at Emporion and Ullastret, the delightful city of Girona, an interesting little medieval town nearby called Pals,, and—very close--La Bisbal, a centre for artisanal pottery that is hard to resist. Barcelona is not far away and can easily be reached via motorway. Our family, including the grandchildren, all had a great holiday in this a beautiful, historic house, and we would recommend it without hesitation to anyone thinking of coming to the Catalonian area of Spain.

A grand and amazing house and property

This was a grand and amazing house to rent. We were a group of 7, with two kids. The grounds were wonderful, with a lovely sitting area, great playing space, and a temperate and refreshing pool. The house itself is a marvel. It clearly was home to a family with great tastes in art and literature. There are wonderful historical books to browse through, interesting nick nacks, paintings and art objects in all rooms. The bathrooms are modern, as is much of the decor in the living area. There is a great bar for entertaining, the cable TV and wifi worked perfectly. Perhaps the best part of the stay was the unobtrusive but incredibly helpful staff at the place -- Miguel, who greeted us, and Theo who takes care of day to day maintenance. They both live in other buildings on the property, but are very respectful of your space. At the same time, they are generous with their time and have a typically Spanish willingness to drop everything and help you with anything that comes up. For kids this place is a joy. The kids' room contains many games and toys from when the children of the family were growing up. These must also have been updated (perhaps with grandkids?) as some of the games and toys there were much more recent. The house is old, but very well maintained, with a well appointed kitchen and chef quality stove, cooking utensils and servings for many, many people. As the main cook, I loved preparing fresh local produce in the kitchen there. The local attractions are abundant, from ancient ruins to lively beaches.

Serene and Pastoral

We had a wonderful time at the farm house. It was beautiful and so serene and pastoral - exactly what we were looking for in a vacation. The kids enjoyed playing in the pool and long peaceful walks. The house was also close to the beach so it was a quick drive (though frankly the house was so great we never wanted to leave). We met the family that owned the house, and they could not have been more gracious and lovely. We would recommend this house to all our friends and family.

Our Family had a wonderful stay

The listing description is accurate and the property was more opulent than the pictures were able to portray. The property was clean and well-maintained. The owner provided excellent customer service. The dedicated staff was genuinely concerned that our stay was positively memorable. The catering we requested was exceptionally well prepared on site. We would definitely recommend this property to friends and relatives. The location is private and peaceful but very convenient to the beaches, museums, shops and restaurants. The property owner was a gracious host. We hope to return again soon.
