When we arrived, Juanjo and his wife were waiting for us in the nearby church square and gave us a tour of their beautiful house. They were very friendly and accommodating and even provided us with some mosquito repellent, which came in very handy!! As well as all that, Juanjo gave us tips on local amenities and a short tour of the village to point out the bakery, butcher, bar and grocery store.

The house itself is beautiful, and we had a great time staying there for two nights. Juanjo has renovated the entire house to beautiful effect, and the place has great character. There were 8 in our party, 7 adults and one baby, and we were pleased to see that the upstairs was equipped with a baby gate so the baby could crawl around happily!

The weather was great while we were in Rupià, so we ate breakfast on the terrace in the courtyard behind the house - if you stay here you MUST try the sweet bread with fennel served in the village bakery. It's one of the best things I've ever tasted!
