We stayed a week in July at L'Orri, Gonzalo's farm high up on the Garrotxa mountainside. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking, with a long winding road leading up to the farm. The farm has two main buildings, where we disposed of about half of the more traditional one. It was more than large enough for us (four adults and one small child), very well equipped, and as rustic (wood beams in the roof, open fire place, etc) as you would imagine. There is a large garden which we used a lot, with a swimming pool, barbecue, and a shaded eating area, all with a great view. Overall, everything in the description of the house was there and more, so we were very happy with it.
The farm is active, and has a few cows roaming the mountain as well as a vegetable patch. Taking care of this as well as guests is a couple living in the valley close to the farm. They were very friendly and helpful, visiting the farm about once a day, giving us fresh vegetables and making sure everything was alright. An extra thanks for all the children's things they lent us!
During our stay, we combined hiking with visiting the area by car. Not to far, there are a number of hiking trails leading both to the summits of the nearby mountains as well as to sights such as caves or the areas numerous Romanesque churches. Of the hikes we took, I would recommend the trail up to Puig de Bassegoda, great views from the top. It is really a great area for hiking! As a heads up, some of the roads high in the mountains leading to the start of some marked hikes, are in poor condition, such as the one leading higher up after the L'Orri. So if you don't have a jeep, hiking really is recommended.
As it says in the description, the farm is quite isolated, but once you get down into the valley (about 35 min), the medieval villages of the area, as well as the coast is not far. Of the things we visited, swimming under the pont de llierca in the next valley as well as enjoying the spanish three hour lunches in the heat of the day in the villages was the best.
Overall, we had a great stay and I would recommend this to anyone wanting a relaxing stay with a beautiful view in the Pyrenees!
