What our guests say

I organized a yoga and meditation retreat at Mas Pineda, and the experience of the place and the country house surpassed all expectations 💚 A super clean, well-cared-for place. The surroundings are spectacular. Laia (the host) is wonderful, always attentive to everything! The food... delicious! The group was delighted! We're repeating next June!!!

A very satisfying experience: we found everything we came looking for. Laia is an unbeatable —attentive, a good cook, and has great knowledge of the surroundings. She made us fall in love with Mas Pineda and the Alta Garrotxa, and we've been left wanting to spend more time there. If you are looking for a tranquil place connected with its environment, Mas Pineda is your best option.

Fantastic! Fully restored, luxurious but affordable 1200 century villa in the Pyrenees. So peaceful after the bustle, crowds and heat of Barcelona. Watch the sun rise and set in the mountains over the little town of Oix down in the valley. Hike the area and return for a delicious multi course dinner. Ours included mushrooms freshly picked from their forest. Their full breakfast was equally good with homemade jams, locally produced sausages, cheeses and fresh eggs from their chickens. Picture cannot capture the beauty of this setting. Pure bliss!
