Our stay at Can Roure was what I always hope for when I book in airbnb. Not only was it an amazing location, and apartment (i've never stayed in a 17th century farmhouse before, i don't know about you) with all of the necessities, but what made it a truly memorable experience was Bet's father Eugeni who lives up stairs (he splits his time between Olot and Barcelona). It was like we were staying with a distant relative who we had never met. He was so kind to us, making reservations for us, making sure we could find our way on the back streets, taking my son out to feed the horse, but mostly it was his warmth.

Highlights of our stay included playing on the playground outside of Santa Pau with the amazing town towering over us, exploring the various medieval towns - especially Besalu and looking up at Castellfollit de la Roca, great restaurants, hours playing frisbee in the huge field in front of the house. But probably our favorite was buying wonderful produce at Olot's farmer's market on Monday and grilling it on Eugeni's grill outdoors with the beautiful scenery all around as the sun went down.
