Can Banal is a 16th century catalan farm house locally called masia that has been restored into three independent livings. During the summer we run a camp-site on the terraces below the main house.

The Terracotta Apartment...
· Is a 60 m2 large room, suitable max 7 persons – preferently a large family.
· There is a double bed (160cm), a bunk bed and a bed-sofa.
· The kitchen is equipped with gas cooking-stove, micro-wave and an extractor.
· It has a large furnished balcony with a pleasant view.
· Central heating and tv&wifi. There are all the facilities for an own supported stay (sheets, towels, kitchen-tools, household items)
· It is a good reunion room for medium size groups.
· The entrance to the house will be shared with us.

The landscape around Can Banal is in a rural and peaceful environment with rivers and forests that changes colors depending on the season. In autumn there are varieties of mushrooms and in spring many types of orquids and butterflies to enjoy. It is situated between a triangle area composted by the villages Montagut, Castelfullit de la Roca and Oix. Located midway between the sea (45 min) and the high mountains of the Pyrenees (1h) makes it possible for many types of day-trips like Besalu, the Garrotxa Volcanic Park, Oix or Olot. Within a 6 km drive, Sadernes can be reached, from where the wonderful trekking path towards Sant Aniol d'Aguja starts.

Just staying around in Can Banal you'll find enough to do for few days. Walk our own signed trails along water creeks, fields, forests, hermitage, farms and villages round us. We have mountain bike’s to rent and in a 25' walk one can go swimming in the fabulous river gorge under a romanic bridge “el Pont de Llierca”.

We will be your neighbours and are always happy to advise you on your travel plans and help you out with information that not always appears in tourist-guides. If you enjoy organic and local produce, we can help you out where to find it. We always have in stock frozen homemade soup and bread as an easy snack.

No public transport will reach CB but in the case you do not have your own transport, we can offer a taxi-service, picking you up by the nearest bus-stop (Trencat Montagut, 6 km away). The last km are well paved for those coming by car and pleasantly shaded for those reaching us by bike or walking...

With the slogan " Come as you are ", we Welcome you to get to know Can Banal Rural and the beautiful region of “la Garrotxa”.

Hola, we are Stendert & Maria

We live in Mas Can Banal for many years. Stendert, born '51, originally is from Breda-Holland, and Maria, born '66, is from Stockholm-Sweden, where her parents once had arrived from Spain. We enjoy very much living here in the countryside surrounded by hills, forests, and rivers. Halfway to the sea and to the high mountains.

We are accompanied by our daughter Saskia born '02 and Stendert's son - Luuk, born '93, who works in our village and in their spare time help us.

Our professions are of the most diverse; Maria studied interior design and artistic glass techniques and Stendert studied to become a tropical agronomist and later carpentry. Probably this multifaceted mixture connects us with many diverse interests and activities, especially the maintenance of CB with its forest, animals, and agro-tourism.

We hope to be able to combine these aspects of us and make your stay as pleasant and memorable as possible. Together, we speak 7 European languages and understand a few more. We like very much to tell you about our favorite places, help you out for more personal advice and add if there is a special event going on.
