Can Massa, recommended Rural Farmhouse in the Costa Brava

Today I’m staying at a lovely farmhouse located in the heart of the Costa Brava, Can Massa. Josep, his owner, meets me when I arrive and shows me all the house and my room. Everything has an authentic old atmosphere that transports you to the time when catalan people living here worked hard at their lands to collect what they needed to eat, and the time where animals where essential to achieve it. I’ve been in many farmhouses, specially in Catalonia, where they are very popular, and I can say this one is one of the most authentic houses. I encourage everybody to see the video below I made during my visit. I was able to talk with Josep and also shared details of the house and places around.

I started with a visit to Pubol, the village next to La Pera where the house is located. Pubol is famous for it’s Dali Castle (Castell de Gala Dali). Dali’s wife, Gala, lived there and it’s known that Dali had the access denied, although he liked to see what was happening inside through a little hole. In the actual castle we find a museum with pretty important art pieces from Dali.

After a little walk inside Pubol I went to Can Massa to rest a little bit and relax at the porch in the garden. They have a little pool, very cute and necessary at this time of the year. It’s summer and it’s hot and sunny, but at 19h sun starts hidding and you can enjoy a very relaxing time at the porch or sitting on the grass.

Can Massa Rural Farmhouse

In La Pera we found peace and deep relax mixed with cultural and sports activities. Everything is close from there, and the owners are the kindest people I’ve known in the area. They are very helpful giving you advice on what to do, when, where and how for the best experience. An authentic catalan farmhouse offering the best service year after year.

Can Massa is an old peasant farmer´s house formed by the main house and several stables and granaries that surround the inner courtyard. There is a porch where table-tennis, badminton and volleyball can be practised. The house has six rooms, two drawing-rooms for guests, one of which has a fireplace, music, television set and parlour games. It keeps some old tools which are part of the decoration.The house is situated between the regions of Baix Emporda and Girones, at the foot of the massif of the Gavarres and near to the beach.

All rooms have an ensuite bathroom, air conditioned, central heating, free wifi and antique refurbished furniture.

One of main attractions in Costa Brava is Dali and all his story. The house is in La Pera, 1 minute away from Pubol, where we find “Castell de Gala – Dalí”. Most of best beaches in Costa Brava are 20 minutes away. Located at the heart of Costa Brava, this house is pretty close to most interesting cities, places and restaurants. Girona is 20 minutes away by car.

Rural Hotel Mas de les Flors – Costa Brava

“El Mas de les Flors” is a homely cottage where you will be able to enjoy some relaxing days with a warm and homely environment. Every room reminds you a kind of flower, and every living room is decorated depending in which season we are. In the summer you can go and have fun in the swimming pool and garden, and at night you can ask for some drinks in the chill-out terrace.

Is very well located, a main road is a few meters away (not visible), and help you going to Barcelona, Girona, Figueres, Cadeques and other important destinations fast.

The garden area rounds the hotel and has plenty space for walking and relaxing. I’ve been in a lot of rural houses and hotels in the Costa Brava and I can say this is one of of the best.

Hotel Mulberry – Chinatown, New York

Will be back! Spend the extra and get the balcony room. An absolutely fantastic view of the city. The room was extremely clean and zen like. In Chinatown and 2 blocks form Little Italy. Right in front of the hotel is the Columbus Park, full of life and people all day. You can find people stretching, playing basketball, reading or playing cards from very early in the morning til late at night. The breakfast is included. When you wake up just go to numbers down the street and find an amazing cafe with with different opcions to choose; always delicious. Juice, cake, fruit, coffe, etc. We spent one week at summer and everything was great. The shower has power and the air conditioner system helps fighting the humidity from outside. Definitely a great opcion for location and price. Is one of the cheapest options I found after hours searching in the Internet. I can’t wait to come back and see all the life happening in front of this great hotel.
