Moli can Coll made a great base for exploring this beautiful area of north Spain. The house is situated in a peaceful valley next to a stream and there are marked walks into the hills straight from the front door. The nearest town Ribes de Fraser is a short drive away where you can take the 'rack' railway up to the mountains. We and our teenagers loved swimming in the waterfalls down the road at Campdevanol.

The hosts are lovely and made us very welcome in their wonderful home. Moli can coll has been lovingly restored and the house has been in Maria's family for eight generations. There are lots of the original furniture and fittings.

But it's also a really welcoming and comfortable place to stay. I appreciated the fragrant sheets and fresh cut flowers, our children liked the table football and playing pool. We all loved the open air bbq in the courtyard. We have special memories of a pre dinner beer with Maria and Joan standing by the fire and watching the housemartins swooping down over this beautiful house.
