Mas La Casanova

The Catalan Pyrenees


Housed in a 300-year-old stone masia, this delightful family operation makes a peaceful escape into the hills between Ribes and Queralbs. There are six rooms in colourful modern-rustic style, some cosily cave-like, others with an attic feel. Home-cooked meals are offered, best enjoyed in the view-laden garden. It's 3.5km south of Queralbs, well signposted off the GIV5217.
