Location:

This old masia, named after the elms (om in Catalan) which line the river nearby, was built in the 1700's. About 4 kms from Sant Pau de Seguries on the road between Ripoll and Camprodon, it is situated two kilometers down a very flat and well-kept winding dirt track from the nearest paved road, so is relatively more isolated than some of the other places I offer. It is also, despite the new pool, more rustic and less expensive, so once again not recommended for city-slickers used to motel-hotel accommodations. Aside from a few riverside cow pastures, the forests in the surrounding Bac Valley, part of the famous volcanic Garrotxa region, are virgin territory and full of unspoiled flora and fauna, and some of the most beautiful villages in Spain, included Beget, an unforgetable place to visit.

The house:

The large living quarters, measuring approximately 225m2 on three floors, are flanked by a old abandoned straw loft. The ground floor has a sitting area with fireplace, a large kitchen, a dining area with a long wooden table and benches, and an outdoor gallery with washing machine and a toilet. The furnishings and the entire feel of the place is rustic, and the owners want to keep it that way. Here, it is the old house and the surrounding valley that are the protagonists, not interior decorating.

Upstairs, along a single whitewashed hallway are four rooms with double beds, and one with two single beds. There are also two full baths. A ancient wooden stairway leads up to a sitting room - with 2 extra sofa beds and a TV - under the sloping wide-beamed roof.

To the right of the main driveway and entrance and entrance to the house is a barbecue. The young owners live in a very fancy masia two kilometers up the dirt track towards the nearest town, Sant Pau de Seguries.
Nearby are parts of the old Roman road, the Via de Capsacosta, that remains intact to this day. The area around this house is gorgeous, and there is plenty of sightseeing and sports activities to keep you busy for weeks. The nearby stream has plenty of ponds for summer dip. A highly recommended house for serious lovers of the outdoors. Not surprisingly, the few adventurous guests who have booked this house in the past have sent in rave reviews. This is not a house for everyone, but for those who like being off the beaten track, this one could be for you!
