Under an hour away, yet a different world
The Moianès is the plateau between Barcelona, Vic and Manresa. You get there on the C-17 and C-25 with no difficult mountain passes: around 55 minutes from central Barcelona and under 40 from the Vallès.
That changes the whole trip: you can leave on Friday after work and still have dinner in the garden, or drive back on Sunday afternoon without losing half a day on the road.
At 887 m, the atmosphere is nothing like the metropolitan area: woodland, fields, silence and cool nights even in midsummer.
For families and groups: real space
Cal Correu has two homes, each rented whole and shared with nobody else. Hort, on the ground floor, has 3 bedrooms and sleeps up to 7. Xida has 2 bedrooms and sleeps up to 6. Book both and you have room for 13.
It suits two families travelling together or a group of friends: each group keeps its own kitchen, living room and privacy, while sharing the garden, terrace and barbecue.
It works particularly well with children: the garden is enclosed, there is room to run and the village is quiet. In summer, the outdoor municipal pool is very close.
Family weekend
Arrive Friday, spend Saturday at Les Coves del Toll and the afternoon in the garden, take a short Sunday walk and head home early. No early starts, no long drives.
Friends' gathering
Barbecue, a long afternoon on the porch and an evening by the fire. Both homes together make room for 13.
Working from the countryside
Free WiFi in both homes and longer minimum stays outside high season, so you can stretch the trip into the week.
What to do barely using the car
Paths towards the plateau and the cliffs start in the village, with views to the Montseny. Les Coves del Toll are about 12 minutes away by car and Sant Miquel del Fai about 30. Sant Benet Monastery and Vic, with its market and historic centre, are under half an hour away.
A weekend fits a cultural visit, a walk and an unhurried lunch. There is no need to fill the schedule.
Getting here from Barcelona
By car: C-17 towards Vic, then the C-25 (Eix Transversal) to Collsuspina. About 55 minutes from central Barcelona and around 60 from the airport.
There is parking in the village. A car helps for exploring the Moianès, though many walks start on foot from the front door.
