Cal Maciarol is a farmhouse run by a family that has been in rural tourism for more than twenty years, about 2 km from Àger along the Coll d'Ares track and 1 km from the Parc Astronòmic del Montsec. It has Starlight certification and the house's lighting is adapted so as not to block out the sky: you leave the telescope session and in four minutes you are in bed, with no mountain road at night.
Rural or hotel-style
There are two types of room.
The rural ones are simple, with a private bathroom, hot water and heating, and there are singles, doubles, triples and quadruples, also designed for families with children. Without breakfast they cost €35 for a single, €55 for a double, €72 for a triple and €90 for a quadruple; with breakfast, €44, €73, €99 and €126.
The hotel-style ones are renovated and add air conditioning and internet. There are singles, doubles and triples: €51, €75 and €98 without breakfast, and €60, €93 and €125 with it. Some have a skylight onto the Vall d'Àger sky: ask for it when you book.
On top of everything comes the tourist tax, €0.99 plus VAT per person per night. There are discounts for several nights and for groups, on request.
Conditions before booking
Check-in from 16:00 and check-out before 11:00. At weekends a minimum of two nights is required; the accommodation page limits this to high season, from 1 April to 3 November, and the booking policy gives it as a general rule, so ask if you go in winter. A 50% deposit is paid. If you cancel with seven days or more, everything is refunded; between seven and three days, half; with less than 72 hours, nothing. Animals of any kind are not admitted.
Dinner without taking the car
The house has a restaurant of home cooking from the Lleida Pre-Pyrenees, with a €30 tasting menu with drink: charcuterie and cheeses from the Vall d'Àger, coca de recapte, grilled lamb and llonganissa and homemade desserts. Ask for dinner when you book the room, as the house itself suggests. More detail in the listing for the Cal Maciarol restaurant.
What's around
On its website the house links what you can do in the valley: walking in the Montsec and Mont-rebei, kayaking, paragliding, cycle touring and mountain biking, climbing, rafting and Àger castle. From here, the night of planetarium and telescopes is a kilometre away, the Collegiate Church of Sant Pere two, in the village, and the kayak on Mont-rebei, at Corçà, about half an hour.
