About this apartment rental
Can Cruanyes (Oak) is a unique holiday escape, immersed in the rich culture and stunning scenery of the Spanish Pyrenees, and perfectly situated between the mountains and the exquisite beaches of the Costa Brava.
From the ruins of the 400 year old farmhouse, three beautifully restored apartments have emerged, each retaining its own individual historic charm, while embracing some of the modern touches of interior design.
Secluded in twenty acres of peaceful woodland and paddocks, this Catalan farmhouse is a perfect destination for families, couples and friends. The large swimming pool, outdoor hot tub play area and games garden all have views up to the imposing peaks of the mountains or down to the valley beyond.
Roure is a private apartment with private terrace and access, however the grounds, gardens and pool are shared with 3 other smaller apartments.
Can Cruanyes resides within the foothills of the Pyrenees where you can enjoy beautiful rural and mountain surroundings while remaining well connected to local amenities and the beaches of the Costa Brava.
Please note if you are bringing a pet there is a separate charge of 8 euros per day per pet. There is a maximum of 2 pets. This is charged separately during your stay and you must advise us in advance that you are bringing pets.

Donny was a wonderful host! He was knowledgeable on the area and friendly . He was very helpful . Even printed soccer tickets for us. We enjoyed meeting him
and his family . The pool was an excellent addition . After a day in the heat we would enjoy a swim in the pool. So relaxing . Only thing was sometimes we would find ants in the kitchen while preparing food. We usually put our food up high and wiped the counter right after preparing and eating . Other than that a wonderful stay at Oak Can Cruanyes.

The owners are very welcoming and accomodating. The property and gardens are lovely and the surrounding countryside is beautiful. Good for walking and not far from several places of interest by transport. It is worth considering that the apartments are all in close proximity so you do get up close with your neighbours.

This is a wonderful spot to stay and relax but is still within reach of plenty of attractions - countryside, towns and the coast isn't too far away. From the moment we arrived Donny and his family made us feel very welcome and it was clear that they wanted us to enjoy our stay. It really did feel like we were sharing the facilities in their house. The property is well equipped and has a private space outside for eating and relaxing. The pool is a useful addition - particularly given the hot weather we experienced. There is also a large space with toys and playhouses and a barbecue area, so there is plenty of room for children to burn off any spare energy.
There were a couple of things that needed attention while we were there but Donny was on hand to get them sorted.
We certainly found it an advantage that the property remained a pleasant temperature even on the hottest days - old houses with thick walls have their advantages!
It is a few years since the property was modernised - so don't expect everything to be brand new. Nevertheless we would be happy to recommend it.
Thank you to Donny and the family.

We spent a great few days at Can Cruanyes and Donny was really helpful both before we arrived and once we were there. The apartment was perfect for our family, well equipped (even with fresh bread, wine and coffee!) and well maintained. The pool, trampoline and jacuzzi kept us all happy. Would definitely recommend and only suggestion is perhaps a fan for the bedrooms on hot nights.

Beautiful home in a serene atmosphere
We enjoyed staying in this charming farmhouse. It was perfect for our family retreat. I have two seven year old boys who LOVED exploring and swimming in the pool. The location is perfect for little day trips to explore the surrounding areas. Donny was a fantastic host and provided loads of information on the area. Well worth it!!!!

Un moment magique dans un endroit magique
Toute la famille a profité jusqu'au dernier moment de la beauté du lieu et de la gentillesse de ses hôtes, Donny et Shivon.
Nous avions loué l'appartement Roure, le plus grand, pour 4 nuits. La maison est très bien équipée et les lits sont très confortables...nous y avons dormis comme des rois!
De magnifiques balades d'une heure, découverte de piscines naturelles, petits torrents de montagne...les GR sont très faciles et tout est très bien indiqué. La région est magnique en fin de saison...Ilha, la chienne du voisin (spannish water dog, j'adore!) nous a accompagné dans chacune de nos expéditions, au grand plaisir des enfants!
Je recommande 100%

UN FANTÁSTICO Y RELAJANTE FIN DE SEMANA
Estuvimos dos parejas este fin de semana en Can Cruaynes y la experiencia fue genial. Un apartamento rural, totalmente equipado y con chimenea para relajarnos junto al fuego.
A destacar la amabilidad de Donny, que se portó muy bien con nosotros.
El entorno es estupendo para desconectar de la ciudad, practicar algo de deporte o incluso, hacer una buena barbacoa.
Sitio muy recomendable. Esperamos volver en otra ocasión.
Thanks, Donny!

Hemos estados dos días en Can Cruanyes. El trato de Donny ha sido perfecto, mimando cada detalle de nuestra estancia. Estuvimos alojados en el apartamento Roure con un bebé de 3 meses (nos facilitaron una cuna). El alojamiento cuenta con todas las comodidades: cocina (menaje completo, aceite y vinagre,...), baños (amenities), sala de estar (TV, DVD's,...), internet, terraza privada ... La masía cuenta con una piscina muy limpia y cuidada donde relajarse, un jardín muy cuidado y amplio donde jugar, pasear y disfrutar de un entorno muy tranquilo. Lástima que no pasáramos más días para disfrutar de todos los espacios comunes. Un lugar perfecto para descansar y visitar Besalú, Olot, Santa Pau, Castellfollit de la Roca...

El pasado fin de semana estuve con mi pareja en Can Cruanyes. Es una casa rural de ensueño! En el apartamento no faltava de nada, y el lugar es ideal para desconectar de todo. Los propietarios son encantadores! Pudimos disfrutar hasta el Domingo por la tarde del lugar! No será nuestra última visita en Can Cruanyes! Gracias por todo!

This apartment is even better than it looks online... Comfortable and spacious inside with a lovely large patio area outside. The pool is a great size for both kids and adults and the grounds and views are fab. Our kids couldn't believe their luck, going from pool to table tennis to BBQ and back again! Rock pool swimming nearby was a great hit and Bezalu is a beautiful little town for eating out in. Thanks to Donny, Siobhan and little Liam for a lovely, relaxing week.

Can Cruanyes is a beautiful home located in picturesque place. We had there very good time! The owner is very kindly and helpful person and the apartaments are really well-equipped. We can recommend it for everybody - for people with children, for looking for peace and quiet and for active ones. Can Cruanyes is located very close to the most beautiful places in Catalonia - Besalu, Olot, Girona, Cadaques and even travel to Barcelona is no problem ( only 1,5 hour). We hope come back there again!!!

Gorgeous Spot!
If you arrive in the rain and drive through drab towns en route (as we did), don't be put off... once you reach Can Cruanyes, the landscape becomes absolutely wonderful.... a true getaway. Here, up in the mountains, you'll find a different micro-climate even from nearby historic Besalu (which, by the way, definitely warrants a visit). The peaks have an almost bluish cast -- and when were were there in May, it was lush and full of wildflowers. Donny, the on-site manager (and owner's son), couldn't have been nicer. He's actually Irish -- and is easy going and very accommodating. Yes, we arrived mid-week and before peak season, but, all the same, he didn't have to offer us (just a couple) a three-bedroom apartment for the price of the one-bedroom (which happened to be unavailable). Extremely nice and entirely unexpected! It was a bit too early to plunge into the pool, which appeared sparkling clean, quite big... and again, in this glorious setting. Enjoy!

Although the property is well sign-posted, a thought of "are we lost?" did cross our minds when our sat-nav first took us down this small winding stony driveway which also initiated our 2nd concern of whether the web-site photos were out of date or photo-shopped beyond recognition. With our very 1st sight of the villa we knew we had made the right accommodation selection. It was exactly as we had hoped for with it's tranquil setting and rustic look it was the Spain we had been wanting to experience. The 3 bedroom Gaudi is great in every sense of the word. The rooms are all clean and large and yet seem cosy at the same time. To be honest we did spend a lot of time sitting on our main terrace with the odd drink or 3 just gazing at the mountains listening to the sound of nothing letting time just wander by but there is plenty to do and all within close proximity. We never tired of the quick drive down to the nearby medieval town of Besalu for a meal, sight-seeing or just a wonder around. Even a lazy day trip to the south of France is in easy reach along with the Costa Brava and many other wonderful places of interest. My best suggestion would be to book the balloon ride from nearby Santa Pau.
Rising into the sky with the breaking of dawn, floating across the Olot region with it's 30 extinct volcanoes, drifting down the valley over Castelfollit del la Rocca and the ancient town of Besalu with the French Pyrenees just there to be marvelled at the entire way, with views all the way out to the Bay of Roses on the Costa Brava while sipping on champagne, doesn't get much better than that. At the end of each day a relaxing dip in the villa's swimming pool is a welcome and enviting treat which should never be under-estimated for all those who are holidaying with children. The owners Donny & Siobhan are ever so friendly and polite and are all too willing to assist or help out in what-ever way they can which all helped give this holiday that real homely feel. The only negative was we wanted to stay longer.

Accommodation was as advertised - clean and well maintained. The owner provided excellent customer service, being available in advance and being present on the site. The swimming pool was excellent and very clean. Surrounding area is very quiet and beautiful. We would certainly recommend this property to our friends and family.

Scenic,peaceful,characteristic & wonderful hosts!
We enjoyed a wonderful time with our kids, and Danish friends at this idyllic and wonderfully situated property. There are some perfectly picturesque surrounding local villages to explore, not to mention Girona and the nearby cosmopolitan city of Barcelona.
Figueres is well worth a look, especially the centrally located Dali museum.
There is simply something to see and do for everyone; the city-lovers and the nature-lovers!
Nature wise, there are a handful of local randonnee walks in the area, as well as a volcanic area with scenic walks - both for young and old legs!
As for the farmhouse: it is a simply a fantastic characteristic Catalonian house to spend your well earned break in - a place that enters your heart, and memory.
Lastly a praise to the two warm and welcoming hosts, Donny and Siobhan : completely and your service when required, yet not imposing in any way, and wonderfully interesting to speak to!
We have, and will continue, to recommend this lovely holiday farmhouse and area to our family and friends,
and we ourselves will most certainly return again at some stage.

A wonderful holiday
Thank you for a great stay earlier this month! We spent six days at Can Cruyanes in early July, and the whole family loved it. Our three daughters loved the pool area, and could have spent the entire six days there. We spent a lot of time at Can Cruyanes, though we had some nice trips to the beach, across to France and to surrounding villages and towns. We particularly liked Besalu.
The apartment and the kitchen was very well equipped, and we cooked some nice meals there. We did not miss any thing, and we appreciated the small basket of foods/drink we got upon arrival (particularly as it was a Sunday and shops are closed).
We hope to come back again, and would be happy to recommend this to anyone who is looking for a peaceful break - a bit away from everything. Also thanks to Donny and Siobhan for looking after the property so well, and always being friendly and full of advice when asked!

Brilliant
We had a fantastic stay at Can Cruanyes and will be returning soon. We are a familiy of 4 with young children and the appartment was safe, kid friendly and really spacious - much more so than the web photos do justice. The pool is clean, deep and peaceful and the whole experience was near perfect. Thanks Donny and Siobhan for being great hosts.

Sptember 2009 Review
If you are looking for seclusion, beauty, peace and quiet and a fantastic location together with unobtrusive client care and attention and also somewhere which is value for money in these days of the credit crunch, then please oblige and visit this fantastic place. We had the great fortune of meeting almost the whole family who own this idyllic property, and we can assure you that you cannot stay at a more wonderful place in a beautiful setting. Close to the airport but, you will need a car to explore the vast array of wonderful places. You will be spoit which place to visit. As the propeitor will tell you, I loved the log burning fire as the temperature dropped slightly in the evening.The pool...well, what can we say.....it was a fabulous bonus! We will definitely be back. Book now and you will be gald that you did!

Great place and very nice people
If you are looking for a sheltered place in the mountain , away from big tourismn - that is the perfect place to stay . Waking up to the birds in the morning on very comfortable beds , having breakfast outside ( kitchen had everything we needed) and a swim in the pool , you can spend the day in the mountains or on the beach,or in Girona .... and have a fire in the evening inside . We loved the placed,The owner was very helpful and the interior is very childfriendly and has disabled facilities. We will certainly be back.
