Can Xicot was a great place to stay. It's a few minutes from the village of Beuda, and about 10 minutes from the wonderful town of Besalu (which has some decent restaurants and a few decent shops that don't just sell tourist tat. There is also an easily accessible supermarket). As a big family, with four boys we especially loved the natural pool and the space to run around without worrying about traffic. It's a great place if you like the peace and quiet, with a great view, and especially good for families with children. There is loads to explore in the area; good for rambling or hiking, with pretty good maps for most walks in the area generally.
Sylvia, our hostess, was friendly and helpful, and did not intrude on our privacy at all.
We would recommend Can Xicot to anyone who likes to get away from it all in a truly beautiful part of the world.
