Maria and Joan are exceptional hosts, very friendly and welcoming. The accommodation is part of their beautifully restored traditional Catalan farmhouse, about 15-20 minutes drive from Ribes de Freser. It has central heating, but you also have the option of using the wood burning stove instead if you wish. There is a steep track down to the farmhouse but this is paved all the way so not a problem with a hire car. Very good communication even though we didn't have a common language. The farm and surrounding area is very quiet, well away from the busy main valley. We would not hesitate to stay here again.
