I have stayed in many beautiful places, but Martha & Øyven’s home truly takes the crown. Their home is truly a dream, and the views from their property are unforgettable.
More importantly, Martha, Øyven and their beautiful dog, Black, made it a truly unforgettable experience. Thoughtful conversation was served every morning, along with delicious Catalan breakfast & excellent coffee. I also had the pleasure of meeting one of their daughters, Carolina. They are a very worldly family, and have so much knowledge and experience to share. I truly learned a lot about local culture from them in just the few days of conversation.
I would be remiss if I didn’t give Black his own few sentences: I have never met a dog with so much personality (or such understanding eyes!). Every morning when I drew the curtains, Black was there waiting for me. He was excellent company and entertainment.
Public transportation in Barcelona is very easy to use, and getting to their home in Tibidabo was no exception. The trip to and from the city to their home was a great experience in itself, with very awesome views.
To summarize - don’t miss out on a beautiful experience with beautiful people. You’ll never want to leave!
