What can I do in Maià de Montcal and its holiday cottages?

Maià de Montcal, located at the north-eastern end of Garrotxa, borders the regions of Alt Empordà and Pla de l'Estany. It is a town of medieval origin ideal for exploring on foot or by mountain bike.

The history of Maià de Montcal and its surroundings

The first document in which the toponym of Maià de Montcal appears, then Vila Maliano , is from the year 978, in a donation made by the count of Miró to the monastery of Besalú. At the southern limit of the municipal area we find the nucleus of Dosquers, which was an independent municipality until 1969, when it became part of Maià de Montcal. The politician and economist Ernest Lluch , who spent long periods in the town, is buried in the municipal cemetery.

What to do during your stay at a tourist accommodation in Maià de Montcal

Get to know its architectural heritage

Maià de Montcal has a few essentials. At the entrance, the church of Sant Vicenç , from the 12th century. To the south-west of the town there is the hermitage of Sants Prim i Felicià , built in the 18th century, which houses a well whose waters are attributed miraculous properties. It is also worth visiting Dosquers, a group of scattered houses grouped around the church of Sant Martí, dating from the 13th century. To the east of Maià de Montcal we find the neighborhood of Jonqueres , a group of scattered farmhouses with the church of Santa Magdalena as a nexus.

Everything super good! More than recommendable

We spent 4 super good family days, nothing was missing, super important that there are air conditioners throughout the house, and they work wonderfully. The outside area is very pleasant and comfortable, the large table is perfect and the size of the pool too. The attention of Arnau and his father has been a 10.

Quiet family holidays, as they should be

We had a great few days at Ca la Gracieta with the whole gang, from the girls to the grandparents! The house is charming, tastefully renovated, super equipped and with details that are immediately felt (quality details, the silent air conditioning, and proper soundproofing). The pool, a 10, the games, a 10 - we haven't stopped playing foosball throughout the stay. Cistella is quiet, without much fuss, but that's why we went there: to disconnect and make escapes to the surrounding villages. And everything impeccably organized by Naturaki, who has made everything very easy.

One of lime and another of sand

The house is very well equipped, everything is quite new and the location is excellent: secluded, quiet and perfect for disconnecting. As for the facilities, we have no complaints. However, we believe that there are several aspects that should be improved. The main one is the issue of flies: many entered the house and there was a large amount of dead flies on the floor throughout the house. Mosquito nets on doors and windows would be a much needed improvement. We also did not find the presence of a camera pointing towards the pool area appropriate. We understand that there may be security reasons, but it affects the privacy of the guests. In fact, we felt uncomfortable knowing that we could be being recorded while enjoying the pool. On the other hand, although they finally returned the deposit to us, we were told that on a next occasion they could charge us an additional 50 € for cleaning because the floor had become a bit sticky after a bottle broke. We cleaned it as soon as it happened and, although it is possible that some residue remained, it seems to us an excessive claim considering the price of the accommodation and that the house was left in good general condition, far from being dirty or neglected. In summary, the experience was good thanks to the house and its location, but these details are not necessary.

Naturaki respond: Thank you for sharing your experience, Judith. We are glad that you liked the house and its location. We regret the inconvenience with the flies and take note about installing fly screens. Regarding the camera, it is only intended to ensure security and control access, especially when there are no guests in the house, but we understand your concern. After considering it, we have changed the camera's location to avoid making guests feel uncomfortable. About the cleaning, we make a great effort in maintaining and cleaning the facilities so that all guests can enjoy the house, and it is for this reason that, much to our regret, on some occasions we are forced to apply a security deposit withholding when guests have not left the house in the expected conditions. However, in your case, considering it was an accident and that the rest of the house was alright, we ultimately decided not to withhold the deposit.

NoraCan Martinot, la casa del riu - With the family

Perfect stay, with improvements

It's a very clean, cozy house and perfect for groups of 12 or 15 people. The facilities are great, although it's built on different levels and we went with a grandmother, access to the different spaces is very complicated and limited. Another improvement would be the issue of mosquito nets or some type of prevention, it's a space with a lot of mosquitoes and flies. The rest, a 10.

Naturaki respond: Thank you very much, Nora, for your comment. We are glad to know that you enjoyed the house. We take note of your observations and will review it for improvement. Thanks for the visit!.
