From the door being opened and seeing the most welcoming smile, I knew this was going to be a special place. Dolores is simply charming. She radiates warmth and sincerity. Her home is tucked away in the beautiful Catalonian countryside close to Girona in a very peaceful village. I was immediately offered a drink, the fire was lit and with the help of Google translate, the chatter began. I was then unexpectedly whisked off to be shown Lake Banyoles, the local beauty spot before retiring to a comfortable room with my own bathroom. The following morning I experienced one of Dolores amazing massages which I highly recommend. She really is a lovely lady who also made my dog, Max, most welcome. I only stayed for one night as a stop over on my way to France but I would not hesitate to return.
