There are two barbecues in the garden which we are happy for our guests to use.  One is gas, and the other is an all-weather charcoal barbecue kitchen.

We are also pleased to offer dinner evenings in this kitchen with wine and conversation, at extra cost.

The small well-screened swimming pool (open from the end of April until mid October and shared only with ourselves, the owners) is filled with water from the local mountain streams.

In the garden there is a screened sunbathing lawn with loungers and parasol, and set amongst the orange and olive groves are more secluded areas with hammocks and other seating.

In the right season you could be wandering down the garden picking oranges to squeeze for your early morning juice.  Or in April /May be relaxing on a lounger whilst the heady perfume of orange blossom wafts around you.

The gardens also contain various fruit trees - peach, pear, apricot, red and yellow plums, cherries, apples, cobnuts, and grapes from which you may gather as required when in season.  We are also happy for you to harvest vegetables as needed from the plot which usually has a varied supply of tomatoes, peppers, aubergines, courgettes, beans, leeks, onions etc.

Oranges just ready for picking !!

We also have an aviary in the garden where we are sure that any children will enjoy feeding the white doves and silver pheasants with produce from the garden.And if you enjoy birdlife then we are sure that you will appreciate seeing the vultures and eagles glide over the finca if the weather is suitable.  Or maybe in the spring and early summer just lie back and listen to the nightingales singing.

'What more can be said that hasn't already been said !!

Lovely hosts, a perfect mix of privacy and company.  Very knowledgable couple who are both keen to impart their experience of the sights of Catalonia.  Fantastic views, comfy accommodation, and unrivalled history.  See you both next year.'
