B&B la Rectoria de Sant Miquel de Pineda

This place is beautiful. Staying in a respectfully converted Rectory nestled beside an old church - amongst the hills and forests - it feels like you're really experiencing the essence of this region, but also with all the mod cons of modern life readily available. It is a peaceful and calming environment to spend time. And the food is unbelievably good. The hosts, Roy and Goretti, make everything so easy and comfortable, it feels like you're visiting old friends in their wonderful house. We hired bikes and explored different regions each day - volcanoes, waterfalls, gorges, local towns and some wonderful views with a hike up a hill - all readily accessible from the via Verda Carrilet cycle path that runs right past the BnB. Couldn't have been better.

Tot perfecte

Un trésor en pleine nature !!! A ne pas manquer. Beaucoup de charme dans cet ancien presbytère en pleine nature en pleine Garrotxa. Très bien accueillis par Gorreti et Roy on a passé un weekend inoubliable. Décoration, repas gastronomiques (bravo Roy)... piscine et multiples activités et visites tout autour ! Un vrai paradis ! Seuls les biches , les sangliers comme voisins ...on se laisse aller et on oublie tout dans ce cadre enchanteur ! Bravo !

Acogedor Hemos estado muy a gusto con un trato muy familiar.

La Rectoria is one of the happiest places I've stayed. In my top 10 for sure. It felt like staying with favourite relatives without having to help with washing up. It's a guest house, not a 5 star hotel and has a rustic feel to it. We arrived by bike, looking like drowned rats, having been drenched in a huge thunderstorm. The welcome we got was just lovely. Goretti made us tea and put our clothes through the laundry and would not accept payment for this extra work. We were very comfortable and the evening meals were superb. Chef Roy cooks for one sitting and guests can gather to chat over pre-dinner drinks and can then eat at individual tables if they want. Evenings were fun. From the restaurant window, we watched a deer feeding on wild flowers just a few metres away. Roy and Goretti are big hearted, open and genuine people. I don't write reviews. I simply had to this time. Thank you.

This is a cosy small-ish guesthouse in an updated former rectory, adjacent to a beautiful old church, no longer functioning. It's just off a relatively quiet country road, and smack-bang on a disused rail route, now available for cycling and walking. It's about 10 minutes south by car of Garroxta's charming regional centre Olot. We had an upstairs room with comfortable, firm queen bed and roomy bathroom with a large walk-in shower. Modern amenities sit comfortably within the historic structure with gorgeous period details. There's a charming sitting room with the old iron stove and mercifully no TVs/screens to distract from the superb natural and historic setting. Goretti and Roy are charming hosts, and provide wonderful high-quality evening meals for a moderate price with wine available. There are many scenic day trips in this fabulous part of Spain, easily reached from Barcelona or Girona. Absolutely recommended.
