Why take a rural getaway in summer
Summer is when we most need to stop. A few days in the country let you sleep well, eat slowly, walk in the forest and let time return to its natural pace.
A rural house in Catalonia in summer delivers the best of the season without its downsides: open air without crowds, cool nights and terraces for dinner by candlelight.
The Moianès in summer: fresh air and silence
Collsuspina and the Moianès are above 800 m. Mild summers, pleasant breezes and nights that almost always call for a light blanket.
Cool mornings to walk, midday in the shade of the garden and nights under a sky full of stars.
Days of garden, terrace and barbecue
Well-kept outdoor spaces to live summer outdoors: garden, terrace, barbecue and shaded corners.
Gentle early-morning hikes
Accessible Moianès trails with viewpoints, springs and forests. Back home for a shower and a slow lunch.
Cultural visits for hot days
Les Coves del Toll, Sant Miquel del Fai, Romanesque monasteries and local museums.
Starry nights
August's Perseids are especially visible from the garden.
Ideas for your summer getaway
Weekend for a couple with dinners on the terrace; a family week combining a nearby pool, Les Coves del Toll and garden play; a friends gathering with barbecue and Sant Miquel del Fai.
