Holiday homes in Catalonia in July

We have greatly enjoyed the house, everything very clean, and we have not lacked anything. The location is beautiful.

The house is very good, with all the amenities, well-maintained garden and pool. If the heat settles in the summer, they should put air conditioning in the rooms (a fan upstairs is not enough). Maybe it's also a bit short of bathrooms, but they fixed and replaced what broke immediately.

Naturaki respond: We are pleased to know that you enjoyed the house and its outdoor spaces. We take note of your suggestion about the air conditioning, especially to improve the comfort of future summer seasons. Thank you for sharing your opinion and for highlighting the speed of our service.

Seven fantastic days at Mas Xargay. The house is extremely well-prepared. Various areas all very well equipped. The barbecue area is superb. Everything is very clean. Pere, the owner, is always available and very friendly. The only area for improvement is the WiFi, which does not reach all points of the house (sometimes this is a good thing...).

Naturaki respond: We are very pleased to know that you enjoyed your stay at Mas Xargay so much, Luis. We appreciate your comment about the WiFi and will work to improve coverage throughout the house. Thanks for highlighting the cleanliness and the received treatment.

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!

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 have greatly enjoyed our stay in this rural house. The owners are very friendly, approachable and available if anything is needed. The house is beautiful, very clean, cared for down to the last detail and with everything necessary. And the pool, small but a real luxury! Without a doubt, a highly recommended place where we would love to return.

Naturaki respond: Thank you very much for your review, Noelia. We are very happy to know that you have enjoyed the house. We will be very pleased to welcome you back to our home!
