The accommodation is a huge monastery with church attached, the latter still in the process of renovation. The position is stunning with views across the mountains to the coast in the distance from the pool terrace. There is a great feeling of space with each room or pair of rooms having its own bathroom, a huge communal functions area and space for al fresco dining. We were a party of 12 and only just made the property feel occupied. The access road is a steep unsurfaced mountain track for about 2km which is a bit daunting on first attempt, but at least in dry weather there was no difficulty with a standard hire car. There is good walking on marked tracks in the surrounding wooded mountain side and around Santa Coloma. The local town of Santa Coloma De Farners takes about 15 minutes to reach by car and has all amenities. We visited the coast on the Costa Brava twice in less than an hour where there are some great coves. Overall a great destination provided you are happy with isolation. A car is essential.
