Dear Charlie,

Our holidays was really great.

Is it possible to reserve again Mas Dalt villa one week next year for the period of August 3 to 10, 2012.

We will be 35 (16 adults and 19 children).

Thank you. Jérôme

Charlie,

We are a family group of 12 that stayed at Mas Dalt for 9 days in October 2010 and we absolutely loved it. We do a family vacation week in some part of Europe every year and have found some spectacular villas in our travels but nothing even comes close to Mas Dalt.

The property is amazing and the owners (Rosa and Josep and Antonio) were so good to us that we felt most welcome. The villa (really two buildings) sits up in the hills of the owners’ farm in a beautiful treed setting and the view from the elevated pool terrace is gorgeous.

Every one of the 17 bedrooms are perfectly decorated, comfortable and completely equipped as you would expect in a hotel. The property was spotless and the only small problem we had was a WiFi connection that was not working the first day. The owners had this fixed on day 2 and it worked just fine for the rest of our stay.

It is very hard to identify the best attribute of Mas Dalt but our family would rate the huge “cookhouse” very highly. Most evenings we prepared fantastic meals in the brick wood burning BBQ in this huge cookhouse attached to the main building. It was equipped with running water, a giant harvest table and bench seating that accommodated our 12 for dining easily. There are a least 5 well seasoned paella pans to choose from (ranging from about 20” to “giant”) and we made excellent use of them. It is open to the evening air on one end, is constructed of stone and it is a magical place to cook and eat. Don’t overlook it.

Basically, the time we spent at Mas Dalt was so much fun and so perfect that it would be difficult to describe adequately. Given the size and the quality of this property the price is far and away the best bargain in Europe and ranks as our family’s top pick out of all our travels to date.

Thanks for everything Rosa, Josep and Antonio. Thanks Charlie, for making all the arrangements. We will be back no doubt.

P.S. Charlie, I include some of my pictures should you want to use them.

Cheers,
John Bock

Hi Charlie,

Sorry for how late this email is, but we wanted to give you some feedback on our stay in Mas Dalt and Can Tapies in October.

Both houses were absolutely spectacular, we were delighted with the amount of room, the facilities, the design,and of course the beautiful gardens, both of which had a great swimming pool.

The area around the houses was lovely as well, and the view from the terrace of Mas Dalt was spectacular.

The houses were absolutely perfect for a large group gathering, there was more than enough room for everyone and plenty to do.

The location was also great, close enough to Girona that it was easy for some people to fly over just for the weekend, but far enough away from the city to be out in the middle of the countryside, but with a town near enough that shopping for supplies was easy.

Also if you could pass on our thanks to the owners, they were very friendly and extremely helpful all weekend without being in any way intrusive, basically the perfect hosts!

All in all everyone who stayed in the house was blown away by it and we couldn't have been happier with how it all went, we're all already looking forward to returning next year.

Once again thanks for all your help, and of course feel free to put this email up in the review section of your website.

Cheers,
Robin, Ronan, Sarah, Brian and Liz.

Rosa, Josep and Antonio could not have been more gracious and the location is stupendous.. Hang on and I'll post something better for you in the next week or so.

Dear Charlie,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, Rosa and the rest of the team for a truly exceptional and memorable holiday. The villas were of the highest standard; impeccably clean, beautifully presented and with lots of charm and character. Rosa and her helpers could not have done more to make us feel welcome and their attentiveness and willingness to help went far beyond our expectations.

We had a brilliant two weeks and we are already planning our return to the villas. I know I speak on behalf of all my Friends and family when I say thank you for such a special and unforgettable holiday that will fill us with happy memories for many years to come.

Please feel free to use any of the above on your website.

Thanks again and we look forward to organising another holiday with you in the future.

Kind regards,
Kate Felton

Review of Can Tapies and Mas Dalt- Better late than never!

We stayed at Mas Dalt and Can Tapies in September 2008. It was literally the best three days of my life and although this might sound like an exageration, it really isn´t!! This was partly due to the fact we got married on the Saturday afternoon and spent the rest of the weekend celebrating with friends and family so of course that made it a very magical weekend, but was also due to the beauty of the place, the niceness of Rosa and Josep and the amazing weather. The two houses are amazing- stunning views, beautiful pools and loads of communal space inside and out so you could have a good holiday whatever the weather. All the rooms are clean and nice although some are a bit dark but this is very typical of Spanish houses and actually an advantage on a hot day. Our favourite things from each house were

Mas Dalt
- Massive terrace area for eating and lounging around on.
- brilliant pool with fantastic views

Can Tapies
-has a table tennis table and games room which went down well with everyone,
-huge hall where a large group can sit and eat
-again a beautiful pool and gardens
- 2 BBQs

I would highly recommend both properties. I think they are both ideal for getting a big group together because as I said there is so much communal space. However if you wanted to rent one of the smaller apartments you would have a lot of privacy. The countryside around the villas is stunning and you are only twenty minutes drive from Girona which is gorgeous and 10 from Banyoles which is also very pretty with a beautiful lake.

Charlie,

We are now safely home and I wanted to take the opportunity and thank you for helping us with Mas Dalt. Our stay was marvelous; our hosts wonderful; the villa was great and we had a memorable two weeks. Thanks for all your help.

Please convey our thanks to Rosa, her husband and son. Neither our Spanish or French is that great and we'd appreciate if you would tell them how much we enjoyed our stay.

Best regards.

Hi Charlie, just a quick note to let you know Mas Dalt was everything you'd suggested and more. What a fantastic setting, house, facilities etc. and Rosa was lovely...our spanish being about 10 words, luckily hers and our french was o.k, so we were able to have a good chat about the history of the house etc. Thanks very much for your recommendation and attentive liaisons prior to our departure.

With best wishes,
Julie and all the family/extended family.

Dear hosts

We thank you for a wonderful week which we enjoyed at Mas Dalt, a mansion of extreme comfort and excellence and situated in beautiful surroundings. We felt as if we were specially welcome, everything is so well cared for and there are so many beautiful things all around. (So many handmade cloths and even a handmade curtain.)

Well, we are very satisfied with our stay and hope you will be enjoying the rest of the summer season.

On behalf of my family, my best regards
Hallgrimur Jonsson

Hi Charlie,

Mas Dalt was just beautiful -- beyond anything we could've expected. The owners were completely lovely -- Rosa would eagerly go out of her way to get us any info we needed, or to make us dinner reservations, and in one case drove with us over a half-hour away just to show us where a restaurant was so that we wouldn't get lost. We'd try to assure her that she needn't take so much trouble, but she insisted. She and her son could not have been more accommodating.

One day we hired Rosa to cook a dinner for the entire group (26 people) and it was fabulous! She did all the shopping and made all the arrangements. It was so nice after a day of sightseeing to come back to tables that were all set on the terrace with the beautiful view, and a meal that was all ready for us. The food was truly delicious.

The house was clean and the pool and grounds kept up perfectly.

Thanks for making the arrangements for us last year. We hope to visit Spain again on another holiday at another time, and look forward to speaking with you then if you're still in the business of villa rentals at that time!

Thanks again, Janice

As you know we took our staff away for a long weekend. There was plenty of room and the new building and pool are just superb.

From the very large veranda you can see for miles. You can also walk for miles if you so wish as you seem to have you own forest surrounding you!

We never left the “complex” other than for food and not one on the 18 people that went had a single complaint about anything.

As for Rosa, very helpful when needed. We had one small problem in the villa but once we advised Rosa it was sorted within an hour.

I would definitely recommend this property, especially if you want peace and quiet.

Thanks
Nick

Just a short note following our return from Catalunya to thank you for your assistance in arranging for our stay at Mas Dalt. The masia was ideal and our party of 6 adults and 11 children enjoyed themselves immensely. Rosa was ideal - welcoming yet unobtrusive and available in times of (minor) crises... a self-inflicted crisis - one of my friend's kids locked the keys in the rental car - Rosa knew just who to call!

Whilst I don't make a habit of going back to places I have stayed, this would be high on my list were I to do so.

Thanks again.
