Historia

Ours is a family vacation rental business - just my wife Maria and me, and a little help from our webdesigner friend in Oslo. Back in the early 90´s we discovered "turismo rural" or rural tourism - the renting of rural farmhouse properties for weekend and holiday gettaways. Back then there weren´t many places to choose from, but we fell in love with a few houses, and more importantly, we got to know what parts of Catalonia we liked and didn´t like. We were very much taken with the Costa Brava and the Pyrenees. On the other hand, we didn't like the Costa Dorada to the south and inland from Barcelona. Too hot and dry in summer, the beaches too built up Miami beach-style, and the train tracks run parallel to the coast, an unsightly barrier with smelly underpasses to the beaches.

In 1997,we decided to try presenting a handful of houses in what was then a new medium called internet. We reckoned that local owners needed English-speaking representatives to present the houses, and you, the househunter, needed someone you could trust locally to tell you which properties are worthy of your interest, and then explain how to go about securing the booking in a trustworthy manner. Slowly, by the year 2000 or so, the bookings started coming in quite regularly and María and I both quit our jobs to dedicate ourselves to this.

Misión

First of all we choose the best houses for our online catalogue. We offer carefully selected & highly recommended villas all within an hour or so of Barcelona city center. After that, we offer guarantees that all will go smoothly throughout the entire booking process leading up to the actual rental itself. The website is designed to be very informative, the descriptions of houses detailed and honest and reliable. We'll help you choose the right villa for your needs & budget, and safely help you through the booking process, with reliable methods for paying the 25% deposit to secure the booking. We then provide you with detailed directions to the house and Google Earth photos that make is impossible to get lost. Our Insider's Guides tell you all you need to know about the area, from restaurants, shopping, entertainment & historic sites, and describe in detail 10 different routes for day trips throughout the region.
