Ref. CBM 100 - Capsec de la Vila

sleeps up to 12 in 6 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms. A large independent restored farmhouse situated near the owners huge baronial mansion, overlooking the amazing new pool they put in in 2004. Its six bedrooms and three baths are distributed over two floors and a total of about 160m2. In front of the house is a wide lawn with a barbecue and two outdoor seating areas next to the picturesque remnants of a ruined barn. The lovely unspoiled countryside, and yes, there is a stream running through the property...,  the good selection of local restaurants, and the numerous stone villages and Romanesque churches make the Bianya Valley one of Catalonia's premiere mountain retreats. And if that weren´t enough, the unique and award-winning designer swimming pool the owners recently put in (6x15 meters) will make Capsec that much more attractive. Book early as it fills up for summer quickly.

Ref. CBM 200 - El Molí de la Vila

sleeps up to 7 in 3 Bedrooms, each with private Bathroom. This is a house I escape to often!  Along with El Capsec, El Molí is one of two rental properties on a huge private estate in the beautiful pre-Pyrenean Valley of la Bianya. Set far apart from the other houses, El Molí is a beautifully restored ancient millhouse straddling a stream and backed by a deep reservoir of fresh spring water where you can swim (but you also have shared use of the owners award-winning designer swimming pool).  Consisting of three 45m2  floors plus an en suite bedroom in a converted barn just outside, the main floor is the common room, with kitchen, living and dining room, and the floors above and below have large bedrooms with private bathoom. It is all very atmospheric, with interior doors and floors and stairways fashioned almost entirely of stained cherrywood and anchored into the stone walls on heavy wooden beams. I love this house but some guests have complained that it is just a bit too rustic. It is a house for romantic nature-lovers, so diehard city-slickers should refrain. See photos of the new shared pool in the page for Capsec de la Vila.

Ref. CBM 300 - La Quintana

sleeps up to 8 in 4 rooms, with 2 full baths, La Quintana is where my wife and kids and I rented for the summers of 2004 and 2005, and where we have recommend many friends and family.  An attractive four-bedroom independent stone farmhouse set in one of my favorite spots in the low-Pre-Pyrenees, on the unspoiled backroad between Banyoles and Santa Pau, 5 winding kms from the lake. Pristine medieval villages, gorgeous farmhouses, pine and beech forests, and lush farmlands fill in the contours between the cones of this Volcanic Natural Park. A veritable hiker´s paradise. The house itself is comfortable without being big or fancy or pricey, but there is air conditioning in the livingroom. The locaton and views are priceless.  And now with unlimited free access to a large swimming pool at a country inn hotel, 800 meters from the house on backroads, with lifeguards on duty.  Looking for an idyllic spot to spend an inexpensive holiday?

Ref. CBM 400 - Mas de l'Om

sleeps 12 or so in 5 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms:  a large and somewhat isolated independent farmhouse for those who really love the mountains. Nestled astride a large cow pasture at the bottom of a deep valley, at 800 meters above sea-level, the nearest house - the owners magnificent estate! -  is three kilometers away, the nearest village, at four kilometers. The sound of cowbells and rushing water from the trout-filled stream nearby fill the clean & cool mountain air. A delightful place to commune with nature. Now with a nice new kitchen, a nice old porch for outdoor dining next to the kitchen & now the owners have just put in a small swimming pool (measuring 5x3 meters and 1 to 1.7 meters deep) mostly for the kiddies.   The new BBQ covered-dining area near the pool is very elegant too - see the photos. To me, Mas de L'Om looks very Alpine and is a great house for a low price for those who want to get away from it all.

flexible changeover dates year-round. Rates: low: 1400 Euros, high-season: 1725 Euros/week. Low season weekend rates: 2 nights: €750, 3 nights: €1035, 4 nights: €1210
