We had an absolutely fabulous time at Mas Merolla! My husband and I along with our three young children (7, 5 and 2) and in-laws visited for one weekend and it was the perfect getaway from the busy city life in Barcelona. The drive was only 75 minutes from Barca and quite scenic for most of it. The property itself is STUNNING!!!! Perched atop the steep mountain with a dramatic entrance and breathtaking views, this property does not disappoint! Wild horses, deer, dogs and pigs can be spotted grazing nearby which the children loved! They took a special liking (we all did!) to the house collie dog named Perdut.
The home itself is charming and authentic with traditional Spanish characteristics but some nice new features as well including upgraded bathrooms, stoves and refrigerator. More than enough firewood was supplied for both wood burning fireplaces, we enjoyed this so much on chilly mornings!
As our weekend was mostly spent relaxing, we only traveled once down into the town of La Pobla de Lillet for groceries. It is about a 20 minutes ride and the town is adorable with stone bridges, a small river and charming shops. For the perfect weekend getaway and to unwind, we highly recommend Mas Merolla!
