The hotel recovers the traditional air of the Catalan farmhouse and its well looked-after garden, bedrooms with terraces and a magnificent swimming pool, with exceptional views of the setting, are added values, like the spaciousness and comfort of the interior rooms. The restaurant is exquisitely decorated, offering Catalan specialities such as the popular Osona sausages, 'carn d'olla' (stew), and anglerfish au gratin with ali-oli sauce. Activities nearby include flights in hot- air balloons, golf, horse riding, mountain bikes, swimming, tennis and trekking. Access to the Parador is halfway between the towns of Vic and Roda de Ter. The Parador is located 8.7 miles from the town of Vic. For those coming from Barcelona, take the C-17 (formerly the N-152), and those coming from Lleida take the C-25. The Parador is located in one of the most beautiful spots of the region of Osona, with the Guillerias mountains in the background and the Sau reservoir at its feet. The tranquillity of the setting favours outdoor and adventure sports, and the visiting of ancient Romanesque churches. This is the Parador closest to Barcelona (50 miles by dual carriageway); visits can be made to this cosmopolitan city and back in a very short time.
