Take advantage of the weekend with children to discover the seabed

Did you get a better way of getting to know the bottom of the sea, than trying to snorkel at the best Costa Brava beaches? A fun and fascinating way, where children and adults can enjoy the experience of seeing the seabed in all its splendour, observing, learning and above all respecting this magical and unknown environment at the same time. We encourage you to change your fishing habits and instead of fishing fish, follow our fishing methods: cans, plastic bags, shoes and a lot of objects that damage the whole coastline and the sea in general... In this way you will contribute to keep clean the fascinating submarine world that we like to visit.

Swim into river pools and discover its incredible environment with the little ones

Complement your country weekend with an excursion to one of the river pools that you can find throughout Girona region. you can access easily to most of them, so you can enjoy this natural pools with the whole family. River pools can be visited during summer time, so you can swim on it, but it is also a good idea to walk to them during other seasons of the year, since the weather is not that hot and the walk is easier to do. A good experience is to have a picnic when you arrive at the destination. Remember to respect the environment and not leave any rubbish!

Some vineyards of the Alt Empordà still have som remains of the the Spanish Civil War history. We recommend you the route Wine&Bunkers, offered by Cooperativa de Garriguella, very entertaining for children and adults, where you can visit the bunkers that are hidden in the middle of the vineyards, and give you a small idea of ​​how was the daily routine form people living there to defend themself from "the enemy".

You will also find different living nativity scene representations spread all over the towns, such as the living nativity scene of Bàscara.

JoanCan Dalmau - With the family

Unique and spacious house in a very good location

Marzà is very close to seaside towns such as Llançà and Roses, beaches like Grifeu, and traditional towns like Peralada or Castelló d'Empúries. It is located in an agricultural and livestock environment and allows for walks on foot or by bicycle. The house is very large and has two very interesting unique rooms that we have extensively used: a covered outdoor dining room and a game and TV room.

EmmanuelleMas Badó - With the family

A beautiful house for beautiful memories

We had a great week in this house, which we had rented for a family holiday with several generations. The house is pleasant and perfectly suited to a large group. We were 18 and everyone was able to find their space, while fully enjoying moments all together. We particularly appreciated the outdoors and the shared moments around meals and aperitifs. The house really allowed us to fully enjoy our holiday and to spend a very beautiful week with the family. Communication with Montserrat was also very good and she was always available when we needed information. We leave with very beautiful memories and recommend this house without hesitation for a family or friends stay. Thank you Montserrat for this beautiful week!

JuditLes Moreres - With the family

Holidays with family and friends

We spent a very good week at Les Moreres. It is a very quiet place, despite having Girona airport nearby. You don't need to take the car to go shopping, as you can live in the village. We hardly left: we did the daily shopping in the village and little else. The house is very practical and comfortable and, if you go with children, it is ideal. The pool is very good for children, as it has a fairly wide area where the water does not cover. As a very positive point, on the first day we asked for more shade in the outdoor areas of the pool and barbecue, and they immediately solved it. As a negative point, I would say that the fridge is a bit short for the number of people the house can accommodate.

Naturaki respond: We are very pleased to know that you enjoyed your stay at Les Moreres. We are glad that the location and facilities met your expectations, especially regarding the adaptation of the outdoor spaces. We appreciate your comment about the fridge and will take it into consideration for future improvements.

AnabelMas Espígol - With the family

Ideal house to enjoy a few days of vacation with all possible comforts

This is the second year that we repeat and the truth is that the house is perfect for resting and enjoying it for all the comforts and complements it has such as the pool, games room, barbecue, football field, etc. Also highlight the comfort of the beds and the furniture in general, the air conditioning throughout the house and the cleanliness. Without a doubt it is a house to repeat and the attention of Jordi, the owner, is also noteworthy. Last year we commented that for the elderly it was a bit dangerous when you enter the pool due to the height of the first step and upon arriving this year we saw that he had placed a handrail for access.

LaurentCal Bolet - With the family

Exceptional property and great host

Fantastic 2-week stay at Cal Bolet with 2 families (4 adults, 4 children). The house is large, clean, well equipped and has an amazing garden in the middle of the forest. Monica was extremely attentive and helpful. Note on access: Access requires driving about 700m on an unpaved road. It is feasible with a normal car driving carefully, although SUVs have it easier and low sports cars should be cautious. We would love to come back!
