Country houses in Spain for Christmas

Good house and very well equipped. Bathrooms could have an upgrade, but everything works well. The only negative of the house is the location very close to a cattle farm. At times the smell was very strong and flies were everywhere. This made eating outside at times unpleasant.

Naturaki respond: Thank you for your comments. We are pleased to know that you found the house well equipped. We understand that, depending on the temperature and exterior humidity, you may feel more the smell of the nearby farm and the volume of flies outside may increase. We appreciate your feedback.

We loved our stay at Les Moreres. The house is very clean, well equipped, air conditioning in every room. Also, the closeness to the village with the supermarket, the bakery and restaurant was very much what we hoped for. We made several trips to Girona, which is only 15/20 minutes away. Nice markets, coffee bars and an old town to fall in love with. It's also perfect for trail runs and gravel bike routes. The pool and sunbeds were super nice and we could perfectly relax by the pool. At night, the BBQ was perfect for grilling steaks, burgers and Lomo! It could use a little bit more green and plants, and also an extra parasol or shade canvas. But we think it was so new it's still work in progress. We would very much recommend staying at this house. The service of Naturaki was also very positive. Very clear communication and service.

Perfect stay, very good treatment, the owners very attentive to everything. The house is amazing and the area very quiet.

We've spent some very peaceful days. It's what you're looking for when you go to these places. The house was very good, we didn't miss anything. What we haven't solved is the collection of organic waste... The little ones enjoyed the indoor pool. Good location for wandering around the area.

Naturaki respond: Thank you very much, Carme, for sharing your experience. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the peaceful days and that the house met your expectations, especially for the little ones with the indoor pool. We take note regarding the organic waste collection and will review it for future improvement. We hope to have you back soon!

Hello, The house is wonderful, with everything necessary. We were four people but there was more than enough tableware for us and more people. The beds are very comfortable and Nuri, the owner, is very friendly and has very good recommendations. The pool is very clean and the eggs from the chickens are excellent. Greetings and thank you for everything.

We arrived at Ca l'Hortalà on the 17th of July and stayed for two full weeks, which turned out to be exactly the right amount of time to properly explore the region. The house itself is modern, spacious, and spotless, and having the small heated pool right there made all the difference in the July heat. We also made good use of the community swimming pool in the village, which was a nice way to cool off and get a bit of local flavor alongside the residents. Tortellà itself is small but has everything you actually need day to day. The local supermarket isn't big, but it covers the essentials without a hassle, so we didn't need to drive to a bigger town for basics. There are also a couple of good local bars in the village for a relaxed evening drink or a bite to eat, nothing fancy, but exactly the kind of authentic, low key atmosphere you want on a countryside stay. Its location in La Garrotxa made it an ideal base for day trips. We explored Figueres, Girona, and Besalú by car, all easy drives, and for Barcelona we took the train from Figueres, which was a relaxed and easy way to spend the day in the city without worrying about parking or traffic. Besalú in particular was a highlight, with its medieval bridge and old town feeling like stepping back in time, while Girona's cathedral and old quarter were well worth the wander. Figueres was a fun stop too, especially for anyone interested in Dalí. Coming back each evening to a quiet, comfortable house with the pool, the village bars, and everything within easy reach was the perfect way to end the day. Two weeks felt like enough time to properly settle in rather than rush from place to place, and the house and village together made that kind of relaxed pace easy. Highly recommend Ca l'Hortalà for anyone looking to use Tortellà as a base to explore Girona province. Barcelona is an easy train trip from Figueres if you'd rather skip the drive.
