We spent 5 days for a family vacation and reunion at this hacienda right by Torroella de Montgri. We loved our time there. The property is out amidst apple orchards with a looming nearby hilltop castle, with lovely surrounding landscaping. The views each evening as we relaxed were stunning. The house itself is rustic and charming, a true Spanish villa. Beds were comfortable. Really quiet at night, so we all slept great. Kids took advantage of small outdoor pool. Horses are on the property (and it can be arranged for you to ride them), and there are 4 (outdoor) resident cats, which my kids really enjoyed. There's even a chicken house that we harvested eggs for breakfast from each morning. There's loads to do nearby: pretty beaches just a few miles away, marine preserves (with boat excursions from L'Estartit), medieval villages and castles (e.g. in stunning Peratallada), ancient Roman and Greek ruins (in Empuries), and museums (e.g. Salvador Dali in Figueres), not to mention numerous great restaurants. Helping us to take advantage of all of that was our fantastic host, Roger. He provided loads of options for us, including putting together itineraries of sight-seeing based on themes of what we were interested in and providing specific restaurant recommendations. He was so kind and agreeable, helping us out with all of our questions. We wish we could go back! Thanks, Roger! If you're planning a Barcelona vacation, get out of town for awhile too and stay at Mas Saline.
