Mas Llunes Farmhouse




Situated on the top of a hill with views to the Montseny and Pyrenees this quiet farmhouse set in it's own extensive grounds offers a fabulous base for exploring Girona Province and Barcelona.
It is a 15 min drive into the centre of Girona and only 10 mins from Girona Airport and main roads to Barcelona and France which are both an hour away.
The house sleeps up to 8 in comfort(all towels and linens provided) and is equipped with central heating, gas stove, dishwasher and washing machine and garden furniture as well as a pool and plenty of garden space for other games like badminton or football (soccer). It is also only a few minutes by car from the PGA Golf Course at Caldes de Malavella.
This is the perfect place for country walks, lounging by the pool in complete privacy and taking bike rides into the surrounding area. During the respective seasons it is a good place for finding both wild asparagus and mushrooms.
