beautiful countryside, the house was right beside a river. Good walks, spacious house with lots of separate areas to discover and enjoy. pool right next to the house, good with small children. Trees and grass. Perhaps could do with another bathroom, 2 for 8 people was a little short. Some kitchen stuff was old but all in all I highly recommend it
We were a family group with young children and grandparents, and we all enjoyed staying in this old Catalonian farmhouse. It was a good base to explore both the Garrotxa region and also Girona and even the coast. We didnât have the best weather (spring 2025 in Spain has been super rainy!) but Esteve was helpful to provide heaters for us. We still enjoyed walking on the local trails as well. The house itself preserves itâs historic charm but also had everything we needed for comfort. The kitchen and bathrooms were very good. We would definitely recommend for a peaceful stay off the beaten path.
The castle is absolutely magical. It has an incredibly welcoming energy and situation in nature. Lots of great hikes from the door and a perfect place to lounge, read books and relax. We would highly recommend anyone thinking about staying in this place to dive in. Esteve was fantastic with all communications as well, a pleasure to deal with. TT
This is a beautiful property with a lovely outlook. Being 1000 years old or so its not all mod cons but is well looked after.
Some of it is extraordinary. Real history.
When problems arose Esteve was super prompt and efficient in dealing with them.
The one neighbor is wonderful and the two nearby waterfalls are beyond beautiful. A haven for butterflies and dragonflies.
Lots of memories and adventures.
Walks aplenty too.
We fell in love with this property. The setting could not be more beautiful and peaceful, and the house retains a powerful sense of history along with the modern comforts. It turned out to be everything I had hoped for when I made the reservation. As Americans who think of a 200-year old property as being "old" it was so special for us to stay in a place that dates back nearly a thousand years! Charming small rustic pool by the front gate and a lovely outdoor dining area, lots of trails and a waterfall nearby, so many wonderful surprises. We will never forget our stay there. Esteve was very responsive and helpful, check in and out was a breeze. Thank you for sharing your home!
What a privilage to stay somewhere with so much history and character. Despite the age of the house it is very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for a very enjoyable stay. The boys enjoyed exploring the garden and playing in the plunge pool and we all appreciated the BBQ and fire pit and listening to the wildlife at night. The house is quite remote and at the end of a long lane so shop in Banyoles before you arrive. We used the house as a base for walking and day trips to La Garrotxa, Besalu and Girona.
Esteve was a great host, checking to see if we needed anything and how we were getting on.
I definitley hope to return again. So much more to see.
Estuvimos muy comodos y la naturaleza de alrededor es increĂble, al lado de un rio para bañarse y con bosques preciosos. Casa grande cono todo lo que se necesita.
Perfecto para desconectar, es un paraĂso,todo como dice el anuncio, un vecino para lo que haga falta y propietario perfecto y atento en cualquier cosa,un lujo, gracias y volveremos
Goed verblijf gehad van 2 weken in deze authentieke spaanse castell. Vermaak in de rivier en wandelen in de omgeving. Rust en ruimte gegarandeerd. Wonen is op de 1e etage, slapen is goed. Weeg rust en ruimte af tegen comfort, en je hebt een fijne vakantie.
La casa es una antigua masĂa que guarda el encanto original. A pesar de eso, encontramos que faltaba un poco de limpieza. Por lo demĂĄs todo genial, el entorno es precioso
Wir haben hier mit den Kindern und Enkeln 2 Wochen im September verbracht. Diese schöne Zeit in dem alten GemÀuer werden unsere Enkel nicht vergessen. Sie konnten im gemauerten Pool planschen und kamen sich sich vor wie Prinz und Prinzessin in einem verwunschenen Schloss.
FĂŒr Menschen, die vollen Komfort möchten, ist es nicht geeignet. Man muss kleine EinschrĂ€nkungen in Kauf nehmen, z. B. kommt das Wasser aus dem Fluss und man muss extra Trinkwasser zum Kochen kaufen.
The Castell de Roca is a gem, hidden 3 klm from the road to Banyoles.
The river by the house is enchanting. You can start multiple hiking/trail run trails right from the house. Contact with the host is very easy. All the rooms offer enough privacy. Ping Pong table was used to organise nighttime competition games. Our dog was always outside, going for a swim whenever she felt like it..
We met the farmer who came to check on his cattle. Very friendly man.
We learned making coffee with the âpercolatorâ and enjoyed the slow cooking method.
Hemos ido dos familias con nuestros hijos, y hemos estado muy a gusto, pues el castillo tenĂa de todo para hacer una estancia especial. Hemos comido con pajaritos, bañado en la piscina al atardecer, y disfrutado del rĂo al que accedes desde la misma casa. Comentar que tienen juegos de mesa, e incluso play para los preadolescentes en momentos puntuales.
A destacar la predisposiciĂłn y hospitalidad del anfitriĂłn Esteve, para dejarnos disfrutar mĂĄs tiempo en su castillo. Gracias y hasta la prĂłxima.
