We just returned from 3 amazing days at Tony and Teresa's place. We have two kids ages 3 & 5 and it was the perfect place to relax for a few days and let the kids roam free around the enormous property.
The place is nearly 200 years old, but very functional. Kitchen, bathroom and both bedrooms are all clean and fully equipped. Heating works quickly inside on cool nights, but you spend nearly all waking hours outside on the large terrace and surrdounding property. There's also a garden where you can pick fresh lettuce and herbs and there are about 1000 books in the library/TV room in case you forget yours.
What really makes Can Ralet so special is the location and access to trails - there are a half dozen walking/hiking routes right from their property that lead to secluded calas (10 minutes), down to Llafranc (25 minutes) or up to the San Sebastia lighthouse (20 minutes). Little kids can easily handle the Cala Padrosa walk (about 10-15 minutes) right from the back gate of their property, although Cala El Cau is a bit too steep at the bottom for kids under 10.
One of the highlights of our stay was walking 25 minutes through the fields and the woods right onto the main boardwalk in Llafranc. We found a nice restaurant terrace for lunch and then had an impromptu beach day on the sandy beaches of Llafranc before walking back home.
If you like rustic charm, don't mind a few small spiders and are looking for very quiet holiday, don't hesitate to stay at Can Ralet. Tony and Teresa are excellent hosts and can help with anything you need. We'll definitely be back!
