A farmhouse in the Alta Garrotxa woods
Cal Terra occupies Mas Vallmajor, a farmhouse in the hamlet of Els Vilars, in Montagut i Oix, surrounded by ivy, wild vegetation and 42 hectares of woodland, among mountain, meadows and farmland. The house has recently been renovated while keeping the original architecture. It is run by a textile designer who has returned to her childhood family home, at the foot of the Pyrenees, and who sees it as a place to rest, disconnect or work on creative projects, with permaculture as the way of understanding the estate.
The rooms and common areas
In the main house there are six double rooms, each with its own bathroom, with natural light and windows onto the landscape. In an annexe, with a separate entrance, there is an apartment for four people, useful if you are travelling as a family or with friends. For relaxing you have two sitting rooms, one on each floor, a reading corner, a breakfast room and a large terrace on the second floor. The house works with producers from the region: bread from local bakeries, fresh pasta, fruit and vegetables from nearby market gardens. Its website does not detail what breakfast is like or whether it serves dinners, so ask when you book.
Retreats and workshops
Throughout the year it organises weekend retreats and workshops: photography with a mobile phone or an old camera, an introduction to permaculture and ceramics, with modelling and glazing. If you coincide with one, the house may be dedicated to it; it is worth asking for the dates.
Getting there
The car is the practical option. The nearest bus stop is the Teisa one at the Sant Jaume de Llierca-Montagut junction, about ten minutes by car, and the nearest high-speed station is Figueres Vilafant, half an hour away. The house is about 125 km from Barcelona, and the Costa Brava and the Empordà are between 45 and 60 minutes away.
What to do nearby
The house itself suggests forest bathing, rivers to swim in, cycling, climbing and walks through a landscape of dormant volcanoes. Besalú is close: the fortified bridge over the Fluvià, the Jewish quarter and the mikveh or the Museu de Miniatures. Also Castellfollit de la Roca, on its basalt cliff, and the balloon flight over the volcanoes from Santa Pau.

A tener en cuenta: Its website does not publish prices: book on it or by phone. It also organises retreats and workshops.

## Consejos

### Ask about meals when you book
The website does not explain what the stay includes in terms of breakfast or whether there is dinner; clarify beforehand so you do not have to hunt for a restaurant at night in the Alta Garrotxa.

### Check the workshop calendar
If you are interested in photography, ceramics or permaculture, you can time your getaway to coincide with one of its retreats.

## Preguntas frecuentes

### How do I book?
On its website, in the bookings section, or by phone on +34 686 248 424. It also answers at hola@calterracasa.com.

### Is it suitable for families?
The rooms in the house are doubles; for four people there is the annexe apartment, with its own entrance. The website does not publish conditions for children.

### Can I get there without a car?
Partly: the Teisa bus stops at the Sant Jaume de Llierca-Montagut junction and the high-speed train at Figueres Vilafant, but from there you need a car or a taxi.
