About the home

Layout of the house
On the ground floor, there is a fully-equipped kitchen, dining room, living room with fireplace, a double bedroom and a full bathroom. The kitchen and the living room provide access to a large north-facing terrace set along a cliff. A table and benches are at your disposal if you wish to eat there.

From the living room a wooden staircase leads to the first floor, with its two double and one triple bedrooms and another fully-equipped bathroom.

The house was originally a farmhouse used continuously until the 1990s and was then uninhabited for a few years until 2002, when restoration work began: this was carried out gradually with attention to the details.

The main attraction of Casa Castelot is actually its location: it is set in the midst of beautiful countryside and is completely secluded, as it is the case for many of Catalonia's "masies" (traditional farmhouses).

In the front and to the south of the house is a large field of crops and then pine and holm oak woods threaded with flat earth tracks, ideal for long strolls or bike rides (we can help with rental of mountain bikes). To the north of the house is the terrace, the ideal vantage point for contemplating the broad sweep of a landscape that changes with the seasons and, with the right weather, for enjoying spectacular sunsets. On the west side, and integrated into its surroundings, is a 4 by 8-metre overflow pool, equipped with chairs and sun loungers, and a deck with a barbecue. These also afford stunning views over the exceptional landscapes that surround the house.

Further details outdoors:
The area is great for walking or bicycling (we can help with bicycle hire). Furthermore, the situation makes it easy to make a lot of different excursions to the beach, to the city of Girona, to the Dalí museum in Figueres, the volcanic zone of Garroxa and many other places.

The Costa Brava/Catalonia region

If you wish to absorb the lively local life in one of the smaller villages in the Girona region, go swimming on the stunning beaches of the Costa Brava. Go hiking in the Pyrenees or see some of the most interesting museums in Catalonia. If you want everything in a week and within your reach, we highly recommend the Girona region - one of the most beautiful regions in all of northern Catalonia.

The city of Girona, near the French border. It is a beautiful city where you get a real feeling for its history just by walking through its ancient streets. Its a walled city which dates back to the Roman period, the old quarter is located within the city walls. The city of Girona has a rich, detailed, and dramatic history. The first inhabitants of the area were the Iberians. Then came the Romans who built a fortification there, which was named Gerunda. After having been occupied by a number of cultures, Girona finally fell under control by the Holy Roman Empire. In the 12 th century, the Jewish community flourished in Girona , and a major Kabbalistic school was built. However, the Catholic kings drove the Jews away from Spain in 1492. Later on, in the 17 th to 18 th century, Girona fell under siege by the French, and it was conquered by Napoleon in 1809. The walls of the city were destroyed in the 19 th century. Today, the city is a rich heritage site full of historic and cultural beauty.

The most striking characteristic about of the province is undoubtedly its great diversity. From a tourist point of view it can offer a magnificent coastal area -the internationally recognised Costa Brava- as well as a fine mountain region, which is ideal for both tourism and the practice of a wide variety of sports. This balance between coastal and inland scenery, along with a mild climate, helps attract tourists to the province throughout the year.

The coastline north of Barcelona, the Costa Brava, is one of the busiest coastlines in northern Spain. White sand beaches, lifeguards on duty, and one restaurant after another makes it a perfect spot for an easy day on the beach. To the north the town of Roses, provides rental of windsurfers, diving equipment etc. However should you prefer something a little quieter, we highly recommend the small village of Cadaques a to the north. This beautiful village build on the rocks around a small bay, is virtually untouched by modern day mass-tourism. And although the are no sandy beaches the water is clearer and perfect for a small snorkelling-trip. Cadaques is also the birth town of Salvador Dali, and was a reuge for painters and jazz-musicians. The small and central square is a beautiful little place for a lunch. The town also has some small very good and cosy seafood restaurants.

The Figueres area

The nearby country side is great for walking or bicycling. From the house you can easily visit natural parks in the mountains, the beaches of Costa Brava, the Dalí museum in Figueres and the city of Girona that has a fantastic history.

Figueres - Dalí
The hometown of one of the worlds most influential surreal artists Salvador Dali- Figueres, is also home of the official Dali museum. This spectacular is a must-see for all visitors in the area. Designed by Dali himself, the museum is a piece of art in itself, on the outside as well as the inside. For extensive info and ticket reservations follow this link http://www.salvador-dali.org/museus/figueres/en_index.html to the official web-side of the museum in English.
