Our time at Can Capella: Sent: Monday, August 17, 2009 10:42 PM
Hi Lloyd,
Just felt I should let you know what a fabulous holiday we all had at Can Capella. The house exceeded our expectations. It was cool,comfortable, airy and spacious. The views were great and the pool was superb. I enjoyed swimming 50 lengths every morning before breakfast!
Carlotta and her family provided a very good service...especially after the power cut!
Viladrau is a lovely town. Everyone was very welcoming. We enjoyed the short stroll to the varied excellent local shops and cafes. The teenagers made friends with some of the local people. I will send you some photos by separate e mail if I can find any that you might find useful, or of interest.
By amazing co incidence, we met a family from Sandwich in Vic one day. They asked where we were staying, as they were always looking for places that can house large groups. We told them to Google Can Capella...so I hope they get in touch.
Only slight niggles were: in the first week there was not enough hot water for everyone to shower when they wished..but there were a lot of us; the cocktail cabinet was tantalising for teenagers; more cups and mugs required.
My husband is a builder, and was impressed by the high standard of work you have done on the house.
Thank you. I would happily recommend Can Capella to groups seeking a comfortable, relaxing holiday in a quiet Catalonian retreat.

Hi Lloyd
We all had a great time at Can Capella, thanks so much for making everything run so smoothly for us, please pass on our thanks to Carlota too.
The village and National Park area are a real find for us, it was so peaceful and beautiful and we loved the terrace - the best ever! Our day out at Sa Tuna beach was fantastic - thanks for the recommendation. We found loads of great walks and things to do in the area around the village - Montseny Natural Park is a Catalonian secret!

This house is perfectly located, a few minutes walk from a beautiful mountain village centre. Facilities were ideal in the house and garden. Position was perfect for access to Club de Golf Montanya (15 min drive) and fantastic hill and woods walking are on the doorstep. We found more challenging walks in the Montseny Natural park from the village. Great restaurant in Xalet Coromina - over the road and top Michelin cuisine with warm Catalan welcome from Salvador the chef.

Another family and our family rented this Spanish house and the property lived up to everything we wanted in a holiday home. It is an extraordinary home rich with history and one feels almost like Marie Antoinette standing on the balcony overlooking her garden below. (OK, I may be exaggerating, but it did feel luxurious and spacious.)
The town is great, it's the quaint kind of place with a small central square and outdoor cafes. The best part is that all of this is within a 5 minute walk from the house. There also great hikes nearby.
Owner's Response: Thanks for review, we're delighted you enjoyed it.

We were looking for a peaceful country getaway in reach of the cities and beaches of Catalonia, but away from the tourist mayhem. This house and location exceeded our expectations – the area must be a closely guarded Catalan secret! The views from the terraces were superb. We loved the whole healthy feeling to the place. The garden and pool were very private yet only a couple of minutes walk from the village centre. The house was huge and very grand inside and the boys were really happy with their own TV and play room. The owners told us that this was their first year renting the place, so everything was new, including the bathrooms and everything we needed had been thought fully provided for. We loved the walks from the village into the mountains and had days at the beach and Barcelona. We all felt great after our time there, it’s a special place. We plan to come back in 2009 to do it all again!
Owner's Response: Thanks loads for great review, come back soon!
