Wow, a fantastic villa in a beautiful location. The hosts, Mike and Michelle are brilliant and are on hand to offer advice on the best restaurants in the area. The villa has everything you'll need and a very good pool.
Lovely countryside Villa with tranquil and beautiful surroundings
We had an incredible time at La Bruguera. Secluded in a peaceful pine forest, the eco-friendly Villa blends in with nature to provide an unforgettable experience for our family of 12. We found the house to be furnished with pretty much all the equipment, AC, appliances, and toiletries one could need. There are so many different indoor and outdoor secluded spaces that everyone got to enjoy many fun and relaxing meals and moments throughout the day.
Mike and Michelle, besides going above and beyond accommodating any questions we had, are wonderful hosts to chat with. Their tips on procuring produce from the local markets, and recommendations for visiting nearby sites and restaurants added so much to our week in the area.
We'd recommend the stay to any group or family any time!!
The property was excellent, with every facility for a luxurious stay. It had a good-sized, well maintained pool; a high standard of accommodation; an exceptionally well-equipped modern kitchen; and a lovely, extensive outdoor area with several places to sit in the shade and enjoy it.
We were extremely fortunate in our hosts, who responded promptly to every request for little extras such as beach umbrella and ironing board, and with advice about technical details in the house.
There was a very good supermarket within about 10 minutes' drive. And our hosts gave us recommendations for the beaches, and the various great restaurants nearby.
The hosts were next door, which added to this convenience, but their presence never interfered with or impinged on our privacy.
Overall, we could not have had a more enjoyable stay, and would not hesitate to recommend the property
Excellent house with an outstanding kitchen, very good bedrooms with views on the parklike outside, a lot of personal touches all over the house. Everything worked perfectly.
Magnificent parklike outside of 3ha and a great pool.
Tanto la casa como los propietarios han hecho que tengamos una estancia de diez. La casa es maravillosa, asĂ como todo el jardĂn y mejor cuidado imposible. No dudaremos en volver
We had a glorious 2-week stay at La Bruguera! We were a group of 7 adults and a boy almost 3 years old. The house and grounds are unique and absolutely beautiful. Mike and Michelle were so very helpful to us, not only before we arrived but during our entire stay. They made dinner and vineyard reservations for us, arranged for Chef Roger to cook a delicious dinner at the house, gave us excellent recommendations for beaches and other sites, introduced our grandson to their chickens and bunnies, and shared yummy vegetables from their garden. They were so respectful of our use of their peaceful property and we just loved meeting their family. The 6 bedrooms all have A/C, along with the main living area-- and we needed it as Spain was hit with a heat wave. The pool was great for cooling off as well and our grandson enjoyed swim time so much. We appreciated their commitment to sustainabilty and respect for the environment.
Would recommend Gala's castle in Pubol, Can Bosch for dinner, Local Market Cooking Class in Girona, and walking the old city wall in Girona. The beaches are an easy drive and there are many great choices. So many other sites are relatively close which makes this property not only a quiet escape but accessible to a wide variety of experiences.
Our time at La Bruguera was one of the most memorable vacations we have taken. Thank you, Mike, Michelle and family for a truly wonderful stay!
Arriving in La Bruguera was an enchanting experience: driving through idyllic catalan villages, being cordially recieved by our host Mike, being showed around and inroduced to the facilities of the place: everything is so beautiful, tasteful, impeccable and perfectly equipped and maintained like we have never before experienced in a rented vacation home. Mike and Michelle are incredible hosts, always approachable and helpful. As a group of nine adults and two kids we spent a fantastic and carefree week with al fresco dinners, barbeques, enjoying the pool area, playing pingpong, doing little excursions into the surroundings (beaches, Dali-castle-museum, Girona, farmers market in La Bisbal all near by)... We definetly want to return!
What a beautiful place, full of harmony and spirit. A wonderful space to practice yoga and meditate and live in together as a group. Thank you, and see you soon La Bruguera!

Thank you for an amazing week of biking, eating and exploring GIrona. The villa was spacious, bright and we loved chef Roger's food!! Mike and Michelle are wonderful hosts and we will surely return! The "Green Lizards Regulars" Cycling Club, Herndon, Virginia, USA
Probably the most fabulous place weâve stayed at. Wonderful house, pool, grounds and location. I can see why Casademont, the artist, and Mike and Michelle fell in love with the place. The inland area behind the Costa Brava is beautiful and has so much to offer. Weâll definitely be back.
Lovely grounds and well kept garden. Clean warm pool. Good facilities and sense of space.
We had a peaceful 10 night stay at this house in August. Good location to serve as a base to explore local beaches and other things. Lovely little restaurant in neighbouring village. Good countryside runs out of the gate. Well kept garden with space to explore and play. The interior has lots of space too and had everything we needed. Air con in half the bedrooms. The owners have a wonderful veg patch with lemon trees and cats keeping you company. We were given a few vegetables when we arrived. Several outdoor eating areas although bring your mosquito spray. The pool was a highlight, clean and warm and fenced.
Just a few things to note for prospective guests: the owners live onsite adjacent to the pool, itâs basically a large house split in two - one side for the owners and one for guests. In research I read the owners lived âon the estateâ so was not expecting them to be adjacent and as near. As long as you are okay with this it wouldnât be a problem but we could hear them in their house when we used the pool area. I think itâs important to know this before booking.
Also, I would recommend to the owners to upgrade the blinds / curtains in bedrooms or to guests - bring portable blackouts as although the views are spectacular, they start early in the day!
In conclusion a peaceful countryside home shared by the owners for holidaying guests.
