Holiday cottages in Tortellà

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.

We spent the weekend and we were able to enjoy the house more than we expected since it rained and we were forced to cancel the scheduled activities. Just to say that we will book again as we still have the activities postponed due to the rain pending. 5 very deserved stars.

Very quiet location, perfect for excursions or visiting small villages. The house is as beautiful as in the photos and it's nice to stay there after a whole day of discoveries. We would love to go back!.

The house is very cozy and modern, but it has problems with the aerothermal system, which initially made the temperature of the house not suitable. The owner came and reset it.

Homeowners’ response: Thank you, Tomas. We're glad you found the house cozy and modern. We regret the initial inconvenience with the aerothermy, but we are pleased to know that it could be solved quickly. We take note to make sure it does not happen again. Thanks for your visit!.

Mom's getaway in a house with a lot of charm, shame that the pool was closed but in November who expects it to be this hot! We would repeat without a doubt, the lights are somewhat complicated to manage, and that in the bathrooms they are motion detection, I don't see it so clearly, but we were very comfortable, the owner very good host.

We spent some wonderful days in Tortellà. The house is a real dream, it’s even better than what you see in the pictures, super clean, very comfortable, and with everything you need to spend a few days as a family. Also, it’s owner, Silvestre, greeted us and was delightful. He gave us directions about the area and recommended fantastic restaurants. He even recommended the municipal pool which we went to and it was wonderful, my children didn't want to leave! Of course, I recommend it 1000x 1000. We will return!
