Romantic getaway

The house is very comfortable and well equipped and we have enjoyed the tranquility that is breathed there. Carla and her family have been very kind and willing to make our stay very pleasant. It has been a stay with the family to get to know the Garrotxa and we have been left wanting to return as it is full of places to do small excursions on foot or by bicycle.

We spent this weekend at Ca la Joia with a group of friends and we only have words of gratitude for the owner Conrad, exquisite attention. The house is perfect for sharing a few days with family, friends... it's beautiful, it has everything you need for your stay to be unforgettable. Cleanliness of 10. We all agree that we would return without any doubt and we will return! Thanks Conrad.

As the title already suggests, the photos are better than reality. We missed general lighting in the house (there were lights in the dining room that didn't work) and general cleaning and maintenance as well (dirty skylight windows, dirty recycling garbage bags, tablecloth with holes, broken kitchen cabinet door, chairs with some stains...). The treatment with the house owner was a bit dry and everything had to be managed with Naturaki, who never answered an email. I also do not recommend unloading the car in front of the house, the streets are narrow.

Naturaki respond: Thank you for sharing your opinion. We take note of all comments related to the maintenance and cleaning of the house to be able to review them. Our goal is to keep the houses in the best possible condition and these comments help us to detect aspects to improve. Regarding communication, we have reviewed the emails and we only have a record of a single email from you, which was replied to. We have not received any other message. In any case, we would like to emphasize that we respond to all the emails we receive, trying to reply as soon as possible. Thank you for your stay.

We had a really lovely stay at this house and would definitely rate it around an 8 to 8.5 overall. The location is absolutely beautiful. It feels quite secluded and peaceful, yet there is still a lively village only about 5–10 minutes away. That balance between privacy and accessibility was perfect for us. The house is also located very close to the coast — roughly a 200-meter walk — and from there you can access a coastal walking path with stunning views along the shoreline. There are several small pebble beaches nearby which were great for children and, most importantly, not overcrowded. If you are looking for a calm and relaxing place away from mass tourism, this is a fantastic area. One of the highlights of the house is definitely the swimming pool. The pool is covered, heated, and uses salt water, which is wonderful for people with sensitive skin. The covered pool also makes it possible to swim even when the weather is not ideal, and we really appreciated that during a few colder or rainy days. The house also offers nice extra activities such as golf and table tennis, which added a lot of fun to our stay. There are, however, a few things that could be improved. The outdoor sunbeds are quite worn out and really need replacing. We used them during the first few days, but afterward they were simply not comfortable anymore. The kitchen equipment could also use an upgrade, and overall the house would benefit from a bit more maintenance. We also noticed some unpleasant smell issues coming from the laundry/bathroom area. That said, we genuinely enjoyed our stay very much. The amazing location, peaceful atmosphere, and pool experience made it a memorable holiday for us.

Naturaki respond: We are glad to know that you enjoyed your stay and that the location and the pool were highlights. We take note of the comments about the sun loungers, the kitchen equipment, and the issue of the smell; we will conduct reviews to improve these aspects. Thank you for sharing your experience and we hope to see you again soon!

We found some small ants in the dining room between the table legs and the wall that separates the living room. Nothing important, but we fumigated them with a product that was in the kitchen.

Naturaki respond: Thank you for your review, Pilar, and for your 5-star rating. The review is from 15 days ago and, since then, the clients from the last two weekends have not reported any incidents. Nevertheless, and as a precaution, we will apply ant spray in the area to prevent it from happening again. Thank you also for solving it on the spot.

We went with a group of friends to spend the weekend and it has been great. Pere (owner) always accessible and willing to facilitate our stay. We will definitely repeat!!.
