El Raco de Madremanya - Northern Spain, Spain

About this Chic Retreat

El Raco de Madremanya is a small luxury hotel in the pretty Medieval village of Madremanya, amid the glorious Empordà and Les Gavarres countryside. This rustic retreat has 10 rooms in 2 buildings, a renovated 17th-century farmhouse complete with original stonework and a newly built lodge, also of natural stones & woods which also houses the restaurant. There are 2 swimming pools in the 3,000 sqm gardens and with the large living room and plenty of terraces, guests can always find a quiet spot to relax and take in the country air. Perfect for exploring both Gironès and Empordà or simply relaxing in chic country style.

Accommodation

There are 6 spacious rooms & 1 suite in the El Raco de Madremanya farmhouse, and 1 room & 2 suites in the property's new building. Each room has been individually decorated and named after the colour which pervades the room. The large White Room feels romantically rustic with wood-beamed ceilings, stonework walls, wicker baskets and a washbasin carved out from a large granite rock, while the zesty hues of the single Green Room are tastefully complimented with antique wood furniture, paisley fabrics, original stone features and tiled floors.

All rooms have en-suite bathrooms with bath / shower, or both, soft fluffy towels, bathrobes and luxurious Korres bath products. Many of the rooms have hydro-massage bathtubs. Some rooms have private terraces or open fireplaces and all have stunning views of the grounds. The suites and some of the more spacious rooms have living rooms and every room has a TV and air-conditioning while the suites also have sound-systems.

Activities

Explore Madremanya with its 14th-century church and pretty streets or visit the surrounding villages such as Llafranc and Monells. For some great walks, take a day on the Mare de Déu dels Àngels mountain range while there are some lovely beaches along the Costa Brava, with the closet beach, Pals, just a 20 minute drive away. There are some good golf courses nearby as well as horse-riding schools. As an alternative way to explore the beautiful natural surroundings around El Raco de Madremanya, try mountain biking, or take a balloon trip to see it all in its full glory.

The large communal living room in the farmhouse is a cosy affair, perfect for reading or catching up with new friends and there are 2 outdoor swimming pools, one of which is saltwater, and a solarium. The gardens and terraces offer plenty of seating for an afternoon lounging in the sun.

For breakfast, El Raco de Madremanya offers a large continental breakfast with traditional dishes using locally-sourced ingredients.
