About this property

Mas Can Xera

FROM YOUR HOME TO YOUR OTHER HOME, BUT ON HOLIDAY.

Do you want a quiet holiday away from the usual noise, but still close enough for day trips to Barcelona, Girona or the Costa Brava? Do you want to experience the traditional Catalan hospitality and culture? Then this house is for you.
Set on a mountainside, this beautifully restored house, over 300 years old, offers stunning views from almost every point of the property.

On the ground floor, there are four large bedrooms each with its own bathroom, plus a large living room with fireplace, on the same level as the pool and entertainment area.
On the main floor, which is the second level, there is a suite with bathroom, where there is a hydromassage bathtub and shower, and two more bedrooms sharing a bathroom, as well as a spectacular living room with fireplace that will lead you to a suggestive gallery where you can admire the Brugent Valley.
Finally, on the upper floor, third level, there will be two bedrooms with a bathroom with hydro-massage shower. On this floor there is an indoor leisure room where you can enjoy a pool table and table football.
There are three full sized kitchens equipped with dishwashers, one kitchen is right next to the pool and includes an air conditioner for hot sunny days.
All beds are European size, and in most rooms it is perfectly possible to place extra beds or even cots. There is a laundry room with washing machine and tumble dryer. The house is fully equipped with blankets, sheets, bedspreads, pillows, bath and beach towels.

The salt water pool is yours to enjoy all your holidays. No need to deal with the harsh side effects of chlorinated water. In the pool, there are water polo goals and hydromassage jets, all with your well-being and comfort in mind. There is an outdoor shower and a room that includes a full bath, shower and clothes dryer.

Children of all ages will love the house, as there are endless activities for them. The house has an exclusive room for the little ones, where they can find all kinds of toys and classic games, Playstation console and many more.

The house is ideal and suitable for all seasons; for long walks and hikes in the surrounding mountains. There is a traditional covered terrace with arches, where you can play table tennis, table football or billiards, something that young and old people will enjoy. On this terrace there is also a table and chairs to enjoy the scenery and good conversation.


A twenty minute walk from the back of the property takes you to a church over 1,000 years old, perched on a cliff overlooking the whole valley.

A five minute drive takes you to the village of Amer, an active and picturesque village with narrow cobbled streets and a traditional square. Although the village of Amer is quite small, with about 2,500 inhabitants, you can find all the services you need, such as the Health Centre, pharmacy, bank offices, fire station, theatre, museum, petrol station, football pitch, sports hall... In the main and monumental square there are two bars where you can relax comfortably and drink some beer, wine or any other refreshment. Next to the central square of the Vila, there are also two fish shops, two local greengrocers, three supermarkets, four traditional bakeries, tobacconists and two local butchers. There is a wide range of restaurants, from pizzeria, to Mediterranean food, local cuisine, snack bar, and even take-away food. Finally some traditional handicrafts such as wickerwork and espadrilles should be mentioned.

After all this, to introduce you to some of the many events that can be held on the property: from films or commercials, such as the one you can find on YouTube, called "No Season Love" by Capri Elle; to spiritual activities such as Yoga, in a multi-purpose room fully adapted for the practice. In addition, adjacent to this room, there is a former water mine that has been converted into a massage room.
The multi-purpose room offers the possibility of holding banquets, conventions, cinema or film sessions, Team Building events... among many others, adapted to the needs of each group of people.

We also offer an exclusive buffet service, run by the great Chef Carlos who, by prior reservation, offers his services adapting the menus to the guests' tastes for the days and meals that suit them best.

At Can Xera we are at the disposal of our visitors to offer them an exclusive service, designed for them to enjoy the holidays that you deserve.

Magnificent Holiday
we had a very nice time during our stay in Amer. Mr. and Mrs Ramos and children show great hospitality and are very helpful, they want to make you as comfortable as home, and give their best to make your holiday as relaxing as can be. They give a lot of information about the region and tips to visit. The house is exactly as described on the website, really everything is available (even including a piano!), all in perfect shape and ready to use. The pool is very well maintained, as is the garden. Administration for rent was very easy, in mutual confidence. Amer is a beautiful region, near to beautiful cities (Girona is a real pleasant surprise!), Barcelona is not far away. The region is perfect for biking (MTB and race bike, when you take the race bike you can't reach the house for the last 1.3 km, what didn't disturb me). You are one hour away from the sea if you want to take a boat ride. You can hike as much as you like, starting from the house, or in the volcanic region la garrotxa very nearby. Really a holiday I would recommend!

Extraordinary villa, location and warm welcome
Wonderful location and extraordinary villa. After visiting Barcelona for four days we booked this villa for one week to relax. And it lived up to all of our expectations. Four very large bedrooms with good matrases and pillows, each bedroom with its own private bathroom. Lots of space around the house with everything you could imagine for your pleasure. With a large pool and air-conditioned kitchen next to it. Not to mention the table tennis table, pool table, darts and plenty of mountain bikes. But the greatest pleasure of course being the large swimming pool. Stunning views all around. We would like to thank alvar and montse for their hospitality and especially for the great green biking tour they organized. Something not to be missed. Enjoyable for everyone, cycling from 500 meters all the way down to amer over 15 kilometers through stunning landscape. Even when it's hot (and we had temperatures over 35 degrees during our stay) this bike ride is to be recommended. Plenty of lush green and shades and all the way downhill. Even though I have been to Spain five times now, the friendliness of the people keeps amazing me. Especially in catalunya. Alvar and montse, thanks again for this extraordinary week and I am sure we will return one day. Regards, Rob

Excellent luxury & relaxing villa for the family!
We were a family of 5 coming from England, looking to relax and have some quality time. We have 3 daughters, aged 6, 10 and 12 (my 12 year old has already left some feedback) . * The House Much better than we expected, incredibly well equipped, very luxurious, well decorated, in a nutshell, an excellent place to relax. Each bedroom is on-suite, there are plenty of areas to relax inside and outside. * The gardens and grounds The grounds are massive, the pool is massive, the garden is massive. My girls did not stop running round all the time, playing with the dogs, riding the horse, getting eggs from the hens, enjoying the sunshine, etc, etc. We could not use the pool as it was not warm enough, but it looks great! We did use the garden BBQ, the basketball court, the outside table tennis, etc, etc * What to do inside The house has a pool table, darts, footy table, all sorts of games, xbox, wii, wi-fi, cards, TVs everywhere, chimney, so in a rainy day of evening there’s plenty for everyone! * What to do outside Apart from enjoying the grounds and pool, you can walk to the town in 10 mins. It’s quite a pretty walk, and the town is quite quaint. From the town you have an excellent cycle trail. They have 6 bicycles at the house (of different sizes). We managed to cover around 20 miles of the trail, it went even further. Excellent for cycling to the town next door, lunch there and then continue to the next town for coffee. * Summary Well worth the money considering everything you get. We have been to many other houses in Spain, this is by far the best all around, even the views are stunning! We will definitely be back, if not, ask my girls, a month later, they are still talking about it!

Amazing Villa in an amazing location.
The property is truly stunning, the villa has an amazing amount of outdoor space and you really only need the inside for cooking big meals (although there is a kitchen in the pool house) and to sleep. The facilities are incredible and the location is perfect, just close enough to the small town of Amer with bars and supermarkets but with your own privacy. If you are thinking of visiting local areas you should rent a car as it is slightly off the main road, but this villa is truly worth it. Breathtaking hikes straight out of the Villa and a really nice walk up to the Monastery Santa Brigida. The communication can be difficult as this villa is available on many different booking sites so I would make sure you have a contact email and phone early. Overall this is a fantastic property and well worth it for families or groups of adults looking for adventure.

Dreams villa
Dream Villa Where do I start. After turning right off the main road into a montano path taking us up the mountain the excitement began. After finally arriving a few minutes later after tackling our off road approach in our not so good rental, my family an I where left gob smacked as we viewed the outside of the property as the electronic gate opened. My partner daughter and two sons of 10 & 7 could not stop smiling as the most helpful and caring owner gave us his personal grand tour( a lesson many owners should follow). The property had the most amazing amenities and convenient areas for all to enjoy, relax, socialise and also have peace and quiet. The kids and admittedly me also could not stop playing all the fun games from basketball to water polo in the pool. With bikes, scooters, pool table, table tennis and even a pogo stick (many attempts) there wasn't any " im bored" moments. Even with game consoles downstairs the kids didn't even play with, games like hide an seek became back in fashion. The villa is set with such beautiful mountain views surrounding it each morning my partner an I would open the curtains in our room and lye back and simply gaze for ages until one of us finally got up. To simply have the ability to mix with everyone, someone, no one all in the same household was fantastic. With three kitchens, more than one washing machine and so many sun bathing spots, all of the normal problems that occur when living in a multi family enviorment were solved. Having stayed in quite a few villas now all over Europe, this was by far the best and not the most expensive. Kids tip: take a hike up to the chapel at the top of the mountain behind the villa 👍🏾

Outstanding location, awesome house, excellent ser
Our family group of 17 stayed for ten days in Can Xera, and we would warmly recommend it for large families or groups. The house itself is exactly as pictured – remote, private, and GORGEOUS. The owners, Montse and Alvaro, seem dedicated making family/group vacations awesome. They provide an amazing house, in a gorgeous location, at a reasonable price and with comfortable terms. They make sure that the place is spotlessly clean, well-maintained and better outfitted than most people’s homes. And they are fully available, day or night, to help make sure things go smoothly. From the thoughtful snack waiting when we arrived after a long day of travel, to remote assistance with dinner reservations or driving directions, and including a magic show organized for our kids – they were all that hospitality should be. Don’t think twice – this is the place for an excellent family or group vacation.

Unforgettable Birthday
We celebrated my girlfriends birthday with a barbecue. The house is fully equipped. That day it didn't rain and we could enjoy all the great views. We also enjoyed all the activities that you can do at the house. Some of our friends played pool inside the house and the other ones played pool on the other table on the terrace. The house also has two table footballs. In the morning we organised a basketball game boys vs girls. All of us had a perfect day. We recommend that everyone should go and enjoy the house.

Lovely experience
LA HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ADVENTURE This was an important holiday, and Montse and Alvar stopped at nothing to make it a perfect trip. Our family of four (4 yo and 1 yo girls) met my brother and his wife and daughter (5 yo) for five days at this private, spectacular location. Communication (they offerred email, phone and text as we preferred) was a pleasure and Montse and Alvar gave easy to follow directions with a couple options depending on our interest (we took the more scenic C-17 route from Barcelona). We arrived to a lovely welcome, with a delicious spread of charcuterie and chilled pasta salad awaiting us in the glassed-in kitchen by the pool. The pool really is as great as it looks. I was skeptical about the "salt" part, but it is lovely, with wide steps leading to a shallow end for juniors and a proper deep end for diving. Unforgettably, our 4 yo learned to trust her floaties and go it alone in the deeps for the first time. The kids loved it. The pool furniture is great for eating, playing and relaxing in the endless sun. (The sunsets were beautiful.) There is an apparently unlimited supply of supply of playthings that Montse and Alvar roll out as guests require: there were bikes, trikes, scooters and even 2 battery powered kid's ride-ons...all of which we saw getting put away as we were departing--I'm guessing the next guests were adult. There is a voluminous garage/cellar below the main floor where these all come from, and we observed probably 10 cycles for grown-ups. Lots of books, board and video games (playstation) and movies. The house is well stocked and good for sleeping (we only needed 3 of the 4 bedrooms). A highlight for us was enabled by the owners procuring a 3rd bike seat. The loaded up four bikes with 3 seats into a trailer and transported us up into the mountains. The 7 of us (four parents and our 3 kids) then rode this spectacular 18-km railroad bed (stopping for lunch in a town to the north) back down into Amer, where Montse and Alvar picked us up and trailered the bikes back up to the house. They put a lot of effort into making this happen. A highly recommended adventure if you can swing it! We hardly needed to leave the grounds (Car, the horse provided a lot of entertainment for our daughters), but the surrounding area has lots to offer, and day trips are easy. The markets in Amer (fantastic butcher) are a lot of fun, and the nearby towns offered a festival or two. Besides the great fun grilling out by the pool, othe

A quiet gem in the hills of Catalonia
As a large family of 9, we had a fantastic stay here in July / August and have thought about returning, even though we generally tend to stay at a place just the once. Montse, Alvaro and family are friendly and welcoming hosts. The farmhouse is their main home, with the lower ground floor for guests, separated from the main house so plenty of privacy. This was never a problem, they were happy to help when we needed and to give space when not (during our 2 week stay they were often away). The property is quite well maintained. Some portion of the grassed area was under development but there was still plenty of yard space. As the pictures show, the pool area is lovely. The pool is a good size, gets good sun, and overlooks the hills. We had a lot of fun playing pool games, diving in or just being lazy. We gave feedback at the end of our stay that some parts of the pool area needed a bit of maintenance, but again this is just normal wear and tear. The kitchen is small but that didn't seem to be a problem. I would suggest that it could do with a better selection of cooking equipment, and food storage was limited for a large family, but we made do and it was fine. There is a small table in the kitchen, but we tended to eat at the large indoor table, at the large circular table out on the balcony, or in the cooking / dining room by the pool. It was nice to have the pool table and ping pong table. The pool table and equipment did need some repair, so hopefully that has is better now (but the playing surface was fine). The house is located at the end of a winding dirt road up a steepish hill. It's about a 5-minute drive into Amer, or a 15-20 minute walk following the path down the hill into town. We really enjoyed walking up to the chapel at the top of hill, about 30 minutes and the views up there. There doesn't seem to be a lot of choice for eating out in Amer as it is quite small, but we'd definitely recommend Masai D'Amer (which you can walk to) – excellent food, nice setting and great prices. Getting to Girona took about 30 minutes and was very easy. Driving to Barcelona took about 90 minutes. Overall we had a really enjoyable family holiday here.

Maison decevante
Nous sommes restés à Can Xera la dernière semaine d'août 2015. L'endroit est très beau avec des vues splendides sur la vallée mais nous étions déçus quand l'on nous a montré la maison. Les photos sur le site montre toute la maison mais en réalité les vacanciers n'ont accès uniquement au rez de chaussée. Le 1er et et 2eme étages de la maison sont reservés aux propriétaires. Le rez de chaussée est mal éclairé, mal amenagé et ça sentait l'humidité dans les chambres. Il y avait 2 chambres assez grandes mais les 2 autres étaient petites dont une attenante à la cusine donc pas possible d'utiliser la cusine (trop bruyante pour les gens qui dormaient dnas la chambre à côté). Il y a toutefois une autre cuisine à côté de la piscine que nous avons utilisée. Il a fallu demander de changer un des lits en arrivant car trop petit pour 2 personnes ainsi que la lave vaisselle car ancienne et rouillée et cela ne lavait rien. Les propriétaires l'ont tout de suite remplacé avec une autre lave vaisselle en état de marche mais pas clair pourquoi ils avaient laissé une veille machine. Sur le côté positif belle et grande terrace, jardin agréable et belle piscine, beacoup de belles choses à voir dans le coin.

I have a dream!
I Have a Dream ….Vacation of your dreams: try to picture it. A perfect location: quiet, green and far from urban agglomeration,, urban crowd … well, not too far because some of the urban aspects may be still needed – shops, hospital etc., but far enough to feel that you’re “far”. So, a nice location where you can move around on foot or by car for site seeing or perhaps cycling or simply enjoying a cold beer next to a swimming pool and / or next to the barbeque where a large piece of, whatever you like ,is sizzling and spreading the aroma of fresh thyme that you’ve just picked from the nearby brushwood. A perfect location , with a nice, comfortable house. A house large enough to feel like a king and small enough to keep everyone and all what you may need close to you. A house where you can have a relaxing sleep even if outside the sun is burning, a relaxing sleep without being disturbed by the aircon noise and cold air flow going straight to your brain. A perfect location, with a nice swimming pool big enough for swimming and small enough not to get exhausted while playing water games,. A perfect location , were you can have internet connection wherever you are, it is nice the idea of being “disconnected”. .A perfect location, where whatever you may need is just at the length of your arm, where you can feel the warm of the people , where you can meet nice people. Other things that may catch the interest on top of the above and on tops of the more or less other usual things that you did find as well in other places where you have been, pool table, baby foot table, table tennis, basketball cart, chickens, rabbits, hors (unless you go there , you’ll never hear them), fully equipped kitchens (more, not just one ), large terraces, bicycles, spring water ( in the cave and the water is just great, cold and fresh), plenty and different sunbeds and couches next to the swimming pool, the list can go on for couple of pages. Most important, the owners: fantastic people, warm, friendly and always positive. If your dream is to be completely alone and to not see any face around you , well, you’re in the right place because you’ll meet or see the owners only if you look for them or you’d like to.As a word of advice: don’t go there for less than a week. When you’re happy, and everything is so pleasant, the time will fly incredibly fast and you’ll be very sad to say “see you next time” to Montse and Alvaro. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!!

UN BODA DE SOMNI
Nosotros celebramos nuestra boda en Can Xera. Gracias a la ayuda y la implicación de Montse y familia (propietarios) pudimos hacer realidad la boda que deseábamos. Destacar su hospitalidad , confianza y esfuerzo des del primer momento. También el entorno privilegiado del que disponen, así como todo tipo de mobiliario facilitado: mesas, sillas, cubertería al completo,...que nos permitió celebrar nuestra fiesta contando con nuestros familiares y amigos (éramos más de 60 personas). Recomendamos Can Xera para todo aquel que desee rodearse de un paisaje precioso, con hermosas vistas y de una gran hospitalidad.Y por supuesto, una gran idea para poder celebrar una boda o cualquier tipo de celebración con ese aire campestre y natural del que dispone. Estamos absolutamente felices de haber elegido Can Xera para compartir con nuestros seres queridos momentos tan especiales. Por otro lado, destacar el servicio de catering de coctelería con el que contamos. Excelente servicio y muy recomendable!!! (Info@jiggerbartenders.com ;Www.jiggerbartenders.com ). Gracias Montse y familia por ayudarnos y gracias a Can Xera y su entorno por ser tan lindo.

We had a lot of fun, would love to come back!
This house blew me away when I first saw it! It was so big and looked like we could have so much fun. And during the holidays that we stayed there, we definitely kept busy. After breakfast in the mornings we would go outside to the vast land around the house, and mess around with the massive variety of different toys to play with, while at the same time enjoyed the sunshine which shone brightly above our heads. Once we finally had no more equipment to try out, we would go back to the house for rest before we went to lunch. There was never a time when we would ran out of things to explore, the forest above the house was a especially our favourite. There were many footpaths that lead to the small, local village. When you come here, here you can assure that you won’t get bored, because with the horses, the animals, and the land all around you, there are so many things to do. Elena, aged 12

MERVEILLEUX, FANTASTIQUE, SUPER
Merveilleux séjour à Amer. Nous venons de passer une superbe semaine dans cette maison extraordinaire, conçue sur et dans la colline. Tous les repas pris en terrasse avec vue sur les collines, seule la nature à écouter. Rien de mieux pour une bonne détente. Les randonnées à pieds ou vélo sont à faire ( en partant de la maison même ou des alentours). Proche de Girona pour une balade citadine, d'une région volcanique pour ces balades découvertes (volcans, chutes d'eau, villages et nature), d'un très grand barrage et son étang magnifique, d'une voie ferrée détournée en piste cyclable. Tout cela en plus des activités de la maison. Nous la recommandons. Pau, Elisabeth, Toni et Léo, une famille avec 2 adolescents.

THE HOUSE THAT WILL STAY IN OUR MEMORIES FOR AGES
THE HOUSE THAT WILL STAY IN OUR MEMORIES FOR AGES This house and its outskirts will stay in our memories for ages, because everything here makes you think that looks like the house of your dreams: magnificent views, precious air, stylish old house, friendly animals, all the equipment you may need, as towels, sheets, etc. unlimited games and toys for our children which they didn’t have a chance to play with during these two weeks, because there are so many,… You can do everything you want here without going to big cities: tracking, trekking, horse riding, swimming in the pool, playing millions of options or just relax and take these views into you. The most important for us here, was that this house and its housekeepers are extremely child-friendly, even surprisingly. In the house there is everything you can imagine for your child and a lot of things you could never even think to count on. This is why we recommend to rent this property, first of all for families with children of all ages. And special thanks and respect to the house-owners, Montse and Alvaro, who made everything and even more for us to make our vacation an unforgettable experience. All the problems (actually there was only one) were solved and cared about immediately. So thank you once again for everything. We are leaving Can Xera with a hope to come back one day and have a pleasure to see you again. Natalia and Cº

Heerlijk
Heerlijk Wij waren hier op vakantie met ouders, zonen van 14 en 12 jaar, dochter van 9 jaar en een baby. En voor iedereen was het duidelijk: dit was op alle vlakken een absolute voltreffer! Het huis was nog beter dan de foto's en beschrijvingen deden vermoeden. Bijzonder vriendelijke en gastvrije eigenaars die hun uiterste best hadden gedaan om ons verblijf zo aangenaam mogelijk te maken (en dat tijdens ons verblijf ook volhielden): met veel info, maar ook met heel veel (vaak nieuw aangekocht) voor onze baby en de kinderen. Het huis zelf is eerder afgelegen (moet je dus wel van houden), bovenaan een kronkelweg de helling op; maar eens boven waan je je in een paradijs: alles piekfijn in orde, prachtig zwembad, grote zalige terrassen, tonnen speelgoed, praktisch en goed uitgerust poolhouse... Ideaal! En 's avonds en 's morgens vroeg kan je helemaal genieten: van een hemelse rust en stilte die neerdaalt, enkel begeleid door een eenzaam kwakende kicker. Ook de omgeving is heerlijk: op half uur van Girona, 50 minuten van de kust (Lloret de Mar ea), 1u20 minute van Barcelona, uurtje van Figueres (Dalimuseum) met onderweg prachtige stop in verborgen parel Besalu... Alles bij elkaar een heerlijke plek! Familie Goris

Our nice holiday in Amer
Our nice holiday in Amer I'd like to tell you that we've really liked our holiday. All the things described on the ad were present. The villa was clean and spacious always as described. The owners of the villa were always ready to help, to explain and were always at our disposal. Were were travelling with our little baby and we needed all the necessary things for little babies, and, as it was promised, we have found everything we needed: from kitchen equipments up to toys. The territory of the villa has a nice pool where we have enjoed our time. We travelled also with my brother and his gf and they like their staying at the villa as much as we did. Being really big and spacious the villa gave space and privacy to all of us. The town of Amer is really cute. The territory is green, full of trees and the people are very friendly. If you want to walk you can enjoy the beautiful scenery. The air is fresh and clean.Being situated not far from Barcelona, it takes you about 60 minutes to get to Barcelona, we have gone several times to Barcelona and we've liked this city. All in all we advise everyone to make a holiday in this beutiful place cause you'll find all the things you need and your vacation will be unforgettable. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Vorrei dirvi che ci è piaciuta veramente la nostra vacanza. Tutte le cose descritte erano presente. La villa era pulita è spaziosa sempre come descritta. I proprietari della villa erano pronti ad aiutare, a spiegare ed erano sempre alla nostra disposizione. Viaggiavamo con la nostra bambina and perciò avevamo bisogno di tutte le cose necessarie per i bambini piccoli e, come era promesso, abbiamo trovato tutto di cui avevamo bisogno: dalle cose della cucina ai giocattoli. Il territorio della villa ha una bella piscina dove abbiamo passato il nostro tempo. Con noi c’era anche mio fratello con la sua ragazza e a loro come a noi è piaciuta molto la nostra permanenza nella villa. Essendo veramente grande e spaziosa la villa ha dato la privacy a tutti di noi. Il paese di Amer è veramente carino. Il territorio e verde, pieno di alberi and la gente è molto simpatica. Se uno vuole fare un giro per il paese. L’aria a fresca e pulita. Essendo non lontano da Barcellona, ci vogliono più o meno 60 minuti per arrivarci, siamo andati un po’ di volte a Barcellona and ci è piaciuta questa città. I
