Fantastic Country Home
We really enjoyed our time at Mas Riera. The pool was a great place for the kids to play and relax, and there are many time worn trails to hike / run. The hosts are very nice and accommodating. They gave great recommendations for day trips, local history and restaurants. So happy we stayed here.

Friendlyness
We were very well recieved and could not have better hosts. Dolors gave us fruits and tomatoes and were en general very generous. But they were never too close and kept a respectful distanse.

Todo perfecto, desde la casa hasta el entorno. Un buen sitio para desconectar. Los propietarios muy amables, al llegar nos recomendó alguna ruta y puntos de interés de la zona. Muy contentos y se nos hizo corta la estancia.

Excepcional, y perfectamente ubicada
Recomendamos este alojamiento sin ninguna duda. Nuestras expectativas fueron superadas, es un lugar con mucha historia y un entorno espectacular. Dolors y Climent se desvivieron por complacernos, nos contaron los origenes y evolucion de la casa pairal, y realmente esto te hace tomar conciencia de encontrarte en un lugar cargado de vivencias.
Maià es un pueblecito con mucho encanto, pero si queréis conocer la comarca de la Garrotxa, la casa está equidistante de todos los lugares de interés.
La recomiendo 100% para los amantes de la naturaleza y el sosiego. También recomiendo muy cerca de la casa el restaurante la Guixeta.
Fuimos dos parejas con dos niñas.
Volveremos sin dudarlo, Carmen, Leo y Carola
