It really is a magical place. We fell in love not just with magic place but in the perfectly formed village of Valvidrrera. Daily ice creams in the cute cafe "Isla" right opposite the apartment, lunch in casa gramps, afternoons in the village playground, fresh bread from the artisan bakery in the village all became daily pleasures. In the evenings we bought some lovely fresh produce in crespos and ate at home enjoying the amazing view. We travelled with our two children ages 6 and 8 and it is an ideal relaxing holiday with kids. There is barely a need to leave the village but Tibidabo amusement park is walkable (or take the 111 bus right outside the apartment). As we had spent the previous week in Barcelona city we rarely left Valvidrrera. Antonio was a charming and helpful host and the apartment was comfortable, spotlessly clean and had everything you could need. Our boys brought wet suits making swimming in the cold pool enjoyable at this time of year. We hope to return again.
