"Fantastic, quiet retreat in the Catalan Hills. Great accommodation which can be used as a base to explore the wonderful surrounding Ebre river, villages, castles, vineyards as well as an adventure hub for kayaking, canoeing, trail bike riding, canyoning and even Via Ferrata. Three double bedrooms large lounge kitchen, shady 'conservatory' and outdoor BBQ - all off-grid and very eco-friendly! The hosts, Nick and Debbie could not have been more helpful and friendly. Would thoroughly recommend as a quiet restful retreat and base for adventures" David Brown
