Cottages are a good option to enjoy the Saint John's Eve. This festivity has always been a very celebrated day in Catalonia, and a great way to live this special day, where firecrackers and bonfires are the protagonists of the night, is to do it with family or friends. Celebrate this night in a cottage will make things much easier, as our cottages have large outdoor areas, most with barbecues and large spaces where you can gather and have a nice outside dinner.

Holiday cottages for Saint John's Eve, the best option for enjoying the festivity

Where Saint John's Eve tradition comes from?

Saint John's Eve has always been a very special night, where bonfires, firecrackers and suet pastry are the protagonists. But where does this tradition come from? The truth is that it has an uncertain date of when it started, and why is not also clear. There are stories that say it was a celebration of the summer solstice, also meant to scare away evil spirits with bonfires or even witches' night and the damnest night of the year. Even in the dictator's era an attempt was made to extinguish it, because it was considered a pagan holiday and was not proper for the people who practised Christianity.

Apart from all the stories and gossip passed on this day, today is still a family celebration where little ones and adults enjoy throwing firecrackers and lighting a good bonfire to celebrate the festivity by burning old furniture or pieces of furniture. wood that is no longer useful, you will also see many students burning their books from last year. Neighbourhood dinners are common in all the villages and towns of Girona region, especially in rural areas.

So if you have decided to stay in a country house for Saint John's Eve this year, remember to find out where each village celebrates its festivity, because it is worth enjoying these popular festivals.

Nice house near the center of Olot.

We had a great experience with a group of friends in Olot. The house was as expected upon arrival. The air conditioning works perfectly. The only thing was that the pool was a bit smaller than expected. Overall an enjoyable experience.

Very well equipped for family use, the tranquility of the area is fantastic.

The availability and kindness of the owner, Gemma, is much appreciated, as well as the information about local services. The leisure equipment makes the stay ideal for children of different ages.

It's okay but there are things to improve.

The house is fine, very clean and everything well arranged. The house is large, there is enough space, various living rooms and dining rooms, all very spacious. The owners are very friendly. However, facing the summer, the fact of having the pool and the barbecue area in a different building becomes very uncomfortable, especially when it comes to eating, you have to continually go to fetch things from the kitchen which is on the 1st floor of the other building. Perhaps, as a suggestion, a refrigerator and a cabinet with dishes could be placed in that area. On the other hand, we found the dishes very scarce, not so much in plates but in bowls, for example, there are some big ones but for appetizers, none. There aren't many glasses either... On the other hand, they should do a general review: some showers do not work well, there were leaks in the dining room, it would be good to leave some candles or lights for when the power goes off... In summary, we have been fine but I believe improving little things would make it perfect!

Naturaki respond: Thank you very much for your evaluation and for sharing your suggestions with us. We're glad to know that you've enjoyed the space and that the house was to your liking. Regarding the tableware, we have a set of 30 services with plates and glasses for every meal, as well as 2 or 3 bowls of each size (large, medium and small). We believe this is enough if the dishwasher is used, but we will review everything to ensure that there are enough. Regarding the pool area, we left plates, glasses, etc., of picnic/disposable type for convenience. About the showers and leaks, we were not aware of this, so we appreciate you letting us know. We've notified the maintenance service to inspect everything. We have also placed candles in a kitchen cabinet in case of a power outage. Thank you again and see you next time, Rita.

Fabulous House Stay - Already Planning Our Return!

We had a truly fantastic holiday at Can Costa. There were five of us in total, including three energetic boys under 11, and the villa was absolutely perfect for our needs. The house is huge and could easily accommodate an extended family gathering, which we’re already planning for next year. The pool area was a real highlight. The depth was ideal for the kids to play safely, and we spent countless hours enjoying the sun and water. The outdoor kitchen was a brilliant bonus, making it easy and fun to prepare meals and eat outside together. Inside, the villa was spotless and had everything we needed. The fans and air conditioning throughout the house made a big difference during the warmer days. The foosball table was loved by everyone and added a great bit of entertainment. The top floor became our movie zone in the evenings, with a huge comfy sofa and a TV with Netflix and Disney+, which was perfect for relaxing after a day in the sun. We also explored the local area and took a lovely trip to the beach, which was only about 20 minutes away. The host was always just a phone call away and incredibly helpful with recommending places to visit and providing any information we needed during our stay. We’ll definitely be back and have already started recommending Can Costa to friends. It was a wonderful, relaxing stay in a beautiful part of the world.
