About this property

Luxury and charming villa with private pool near lake and Costa Brava beaches.

La Cabanya is a beautiful, charming and luxury villa. It has just been awarded with 5 stars/keys from the Catalan Government (the highest quality award category).
The house is located in the village of Mata, in the heart of the Costa Brava. It's in a quiet, sunny and safe neighbourhood and the neighbours are very warm and friendly.

The house is a walking distance from shops, banks and restaurants and a short drive from Banyoles lake (only 2 km.), 15 km. from Girona city, 25 km. from Girona's Airport, 35 km. from Costa Brava beaches and 115 km. from the Barcelona city.

The house is suitable for a group from 2 up to 6 people. La Cabanya has got two beautiful ensuite bedrooms with mattresses 100% of latex, a full equipped kitchen (dishwasher, refrigerator, toaster, oven, washing-machine, coffe maker, microwave, kettle...), an attic, a spacious living room with satellite television, DVD with 'Home cinema' and a fireplace, high-speed internet, air-conditioning and central heating.

Outside, there is a private garden with a pergola which is ideal for eating outside all year round, a barbecue, swings and a slide for children, a little wooden house with a kitchen inside for children and a nice private swimming pool with saline treatment and totally automated.

La Cabanya is ideal to spend some days with the couple or with the family.

The climate: The climate of the Pla de l'estany region is the typically Mediterranean one. The proximity with the coast gives a soft temperatures during all the year.

SOME ACTIVITIES:

WELLNESS: La Cabanya brings you closer to the senses world through a wide range of relaxing therapies where time will stop and your senses lead you to an exotic world of sensations. All services are offered by a licensed physiotherapist (Sandra Xargay) in the wellness center (next to the house). All products used are 100% natural.

ā€¢ CYCLING HOLIDAYS: Life looks different when you're sitting on a bicycle: everything takes on the right speed and you become part of a landscape in motion. In La Cabanya there are lots of kilometres of routes and roads ideal for cycling with the family or with friends, in complete safety, so that you can take in every stretch of the region as if yo were re-creating it each time you pedal. You set the speed when you're on your bike and the infinity of proposals available will adapt to it perfectly. Unique spots close to the sea or in the mountains, to find the complicity that comes to those who ride bikes. After the cycling, enjoy a spa treatment in the wellness center (in front of the house).

ā€¢ HIKING: The leaving point is La Cabanya. All the routes ensure a safe exploration of the region. They have trail markers and are organised in a network of loop trails, and hikers can adapt the route or the stages according to their requirements or level of preparation.

ā€¢ GOLF: The house is located 9km from Girona Golf. It's an 18-hole, par 72 golf course designed by the English architect F.W. Hawtree, seeded entirely with Penncross, the best quality grass for playing golf. A course that is entirely adapted to its natural surroundings, featuring an advanced sprinkling system using regenerated water from Girona's purification plant, and meeting the most up-to-date environmental standards.

Wonderful vacation in a beautiful house
We had a fabulos time during our week long stay at La Cabanya. The children enjoyed the pool very much and we did lots of sightseeing while we were here and found the tourist information file very helpful. We would love to come back at some point in the future and bring some more family members with us. Ian. Ireland.

The top list
We enjoyed a sunny week at the very cosy La Cabanya and we discovered some aspects of beautiful Catalunya. We appreciated very much the warm welcome and hospitality of Raquel and her parents. La Cabanya is in the top list of places where we ever stayed. In every detail one can observe dthe passion. We surely need to mention the exhaustive and very useful tourist information. We will keep a warm memory of La Cabanya and the warm evenings at its delighted pool. Surely a place to recommend to our friends... or better... to return ourselves.
