Hostal Restaurant Fonda Marsal

The village's first inn

Fonda Marsal is on carrer Manyà, in the heart of Rupit's old town. It began in 1930 as Can Quim, a grocery, butcher's and inn opened by grandmother Assumpció and grandfather Quim, and it was the first establishment in the village where you could sleep. In 1965 Jaume and Lourdes bought Can Pelat, the house opposite, to have more rooms, and since then the family has been renovating the premises.

The rooms

It has sixteen rooms, all with their own bathroom and television. For guests there is a sitting room with television, cards and dominoes, and many games for children. Wifi is free in the lounge and the common areas. You can stay with breakfast, with half board or with full board.

Breakfast and dinner

Downstairs is the inn's restaurant, with traditional seasonal Catalan cooking: grandmother's stuffed potatoes (patates farcides de l'àvia), beans with butifarra sausage, veal with mushrooms, the house cannelloni and mató with honey for dessert. That way you have dinner and go up to bed without going back to the car. The restaurant closes on Wednesdays, and the inn closes for about ten days at Christmas and from the last week of June to the first days of July.

Getting there and parking

You arrive by car along the Vic to Olot road. Leave the car in the municipal car park at the entrance to the village, which has charging points for electric cars, and walk in with your luggage: the old town is not designed for cars.

What to do nearby

From the door you have the hanging bridge and carrer del Fossar, the Sant Miquel bell tower climb and the guided tour of the old town. On foot, the Salt de Sallent and the route from Rupit to Tavertet along the Cinglera de l'Avenc. The inn and the tourist office at the entrance to the village provide information on routes.
