About this farm stay rental

“Mas Saline” is a wonderful stone farmhouse set right in the middle of nature in Gualta, close to Girona and Barcelona, but in a different world altogether. Located in the heart of the Costa Brava, in a privileged place in the "Natural Reserve of Baix Ter and Medas Islands", only 5 min drive from the golden sand beaches of Pals. The property is a paradise for families with children. Peacefully secluded between the fields and connected to the world only by a farm road surrounded by apple and sunflower fields. The old house, completely renovated, is located in the middle of a 5 hectare property of land in full production of Golden Apples, Extra Virgin Olive Oil and alfalfa that is used to feed the family of horses and ponies that live on the farm. The house is on two levels and is a perfect example of tasteful, rural elegance.

Quiet endless garden: The house is totally isolated in a silent oasis, surrounded by a healthy nature. Crossing the fields of apples and corn, you will arrive at our house, where we have created a natural garden of about 4.000 sqm. There we have the swimming pool and a chill-out area, where you can have fresh meals and romantic moonlight dinners. The garden has ideal spaces for mindfulness sessions at dawn, or for yoga sessions enjoying the magical sunsets. A little further on we have the grass football field and the olive groves.

Functional and tasteful: The entire house is decorated with a functional yet cool taste, meant to give people all what's needed to have a luxurious and comfortable stay. Large 650 sq foot kitchen area, fully equipped with generous working space for gastronomy lovers. Thick teak 250cm dining table with 12 chairs flanked by a big fireplace with a restored original stone bread oven. All bedrooms have good beds and impressive views of all the Emporda plain and the Castle of Montgri. Bathrooms are complete and the 3 livings are very comfortable. 2 living rooms in the ground floor, Satellite TV, board games table, chess table and fireplace. WiFi broadband connection. An old stone walled stable and porticoed courtyard, perfect for intimate al fresco lunches, and romantic candlelit dinners. Thanks to the stone walls, the house is fresh in summer, and very comfortable in our temperate winters. Equipped with double glass windows and modern central heating system for winter season.

Seasons:
Spring time is explosive in our property; nature begins to flow in torrents. Birds nesting and crops growing. Wonderful sky light, and crystal clear atmosphere. Landscape is brightly green.

Summer: High season. Our area is in full action: unlimited experiences to discover on the beach or in the medieval villages of the interior, water sports, sunbathing, sailing, playing golf, horseback riding, relaxing in the swimming pool, reading in our quiet endless garden, living a relaxed farm live while enjoying the total privacy of our property, hiking, sightseeing, gastronomy, slow food, organic products, day trips to beautiful Girona or to vibrant artistic Barcelona.....

Apple harvest season: starting early in september, the harvesters enter the estate to collect more than 100 tm of fresh and juicy "Golden Apples". Really worth to be around during these dates to get some… an apple a day keeps the doctor away!

"Extra Virgin Olive Oil" harvest season: Held during one week, variable from late october to early december. The Olive harvesting is a unique experience to live if you visit us during these dates!.

Winter season: life in our property is so peaceful and enriching for the soul. 3 large fireplaces, and the best wood stored, are ready for your calm evenings of reading and relax.

Activities: Winter and Spring are the best seasons to practice horseback riding and cycling in our property. The Mediterranean sun shines almost every day. During winter/spring, horses love to gallop across the farm roads leading to medieval villages. The best reward before going back home is a long gallop along the dunes of Pals beach.

Golf lovers will love to hear that the prestigious “Emporda Golf Resort” (18 links / 18 forests), and the “Par 3 Gualta”, both are at a mere 5 min distance from the property across the farm road.

Diving and Water sports in the 'Medas Islands' diving resort, in Estartit, 10 min away by car.

Cool nightlife with fashionable places in almost every small village in the area. Two of the coolest open air nightclub/restaurants in Costa Brava: the “Mas Sorrer Jazz Bar” and the "Aerodrom Club" are located just 5 minutes drive.

This place is such a gem. It’s incredibly private, surrounded by farm land. Despite its privacy, you are 5 mins from a fantastic local grocery store with local produce and meat. The house is so artistically restored, with beautiful mementos and artifacts around the house. My family really felt like they were staying in a fantastic, beautiful family home for a week. Roger was also incredibly easy to reach and quick to help with any question or concern. We would love to stay here again. Wheat a pleasure.

We were able to 100% disconnect and enjoy a peaceful stay. We loved meeting Roger and he was also great at helping us set up a bunch of different activities through his contacts, which definitely made the trip even more memorable! We were three group of friends with 2 babies and he also provided us with the cribs. Great place for babies to explore!

Nous avons eu une très belle expérience de location d’une Massia pleine de charme, au beau milieu de la nature. Le site a été le cadre de très beaux souvenirs en famille et tous les détails de notre séjour ont été facilité par le propriétaire absolument charmant des lieux.

A hidden treasure
A hidden treasure
This was a wonderful location for a family holiday (7 adults and 2 infants). The house is spacious and in a lovely setting with very large grounds. Whilst it has the benefits of being away from other properties (finding it will test your satnav!), it is not far to the nearest shops, some unspoilt towns or the beach. There are lots of games etc so it's perfect for either an active or a relaxing holiday. Our host Roger was extremely helpful both in relation to the booking process and liaising with us during our stay at Mas Saline. He also introduced us to Marina, a professional chef, who visited us on 4 of the 7 evenings to cook some wonderful meals. This was a real bonus since having very young children with us it would not have been possible to venture out to restaurants in the evenings. The combination of a lovely house in beautiful, quiet surroundings with our own personal chef meant that we had a great holiday.

Wonderful holiday in a farm
Wonderful holiday in a farm
We spent the most amazing time in Mas Salinas farm. The house is big, spacious and can accommodate very big families. It has plenty of hidden corners which is like paradise for children with so many things to explore. The garden is huge, has several settings in the shade which is very welcome in hot summer days. The pool and the animals (horses, cats with kittens and hens) were our favorite spots where we spent hours with kiddos. If you are not afraid of getting your hands dirty, you can feed horses, bring water to them, collect eggs, feed cats and experience life in a farm in so many other ways...Also, apples from the garden were absolutely delicious!!!

Beautiful hacienda in farm country
Beautiful hacienda in farm country
We spent 5 days for a family vacation and reunion at this hacienda right by Torroella de Montgri. We loved our time there. The property is out amidst apple orchards with a looming nearby hilltop castle, with lovely surrounding landscaping. The views each evening as we relaxed were stunning. The house itself is rustic and charming, a true Spanish villa. Beds were comfortable. Really quiet at night, so we all slept great. Kids took advantage of small outdoor pool. Horses are on the property (and it can be arranged for you to ride them), and there are 4 (outdoor) resident cats, which my kids really enjoyed. There's even a chicken house that we harvested eggs for breakfast from each morning. There's loads to do nearby: pretty beaches just a few miles away, marine preserves (with boat excursions from L'Estartit), medieval villages and castles (e.g. in stunning Peratallada), ancient Roman and Greek ruins (in Empuries), and museums (e.g. Salvador Dali in Figueres), not to mention numerous great restaurants. Helping us to take advantage of all of that was our fantastic host, Roger. He provided loads of options for us, including putting together itineraries of sight-seeing based on themes of what we were interested in and providing specific restaurant recommendations. He was so kind and agreeable, helping us out with all of our questions. We wish we could go back! Thanks, Roger! If you're planning a Barcelona vacation, get out of town for awhile too and stay at Mas Saline.

Authentic Paradise

What an incredible rustic masia. I booked Mas Saline for my 40th birthday. I had 9 girlfriends from school days flying from all over the world for the reunion. I felt enormous pressure to get the right house - plenty of space, a good kitchen and beautiful grounds. Mas Saline did not disappoint. The setting and character of the house exceeded expectations and we all had 4 days of paradise. The location of the house is super surrounded by lush countryside, quaint villages and beautiful coastline. After years of reunions my girlfriends said this was the best of all time. A huge thanks to a kind and helpful Roger and his family. Hoping to come back for my 50th birthday reunion!
