Hotel Can Garay: Reviews
Fantastic experience:
A wonderful place to disconnect, stroll, and relax in a house with so much history! It's more worth it to get a bike pack than to just spend the weekend, so you should get motivated! The routes in the surroundings are fantastic! Sophie and Lluís are delightful.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Truly a "boutique" hotel, the Can Garay is named for the family that built it as a home over a century ago. The loving restoration retains original woodwork and some decorations. Easily accessible by motorized or foot-powered vehicles, the grounds are spacious, shaded and fairly private. Sophie looked after us quite well throughout our stay (see other reviews). Bonus for cyclists: it’s right off the Via Verde!
Fantastic experience:
I am Pilar, my husband and I enjoyed the charm of the Can Garay hotel this weekend. The hotel is beautiful, well-maintained and very quiet, with spectacular gardens where you can take a walk or sit down to enjoy a delicious coffee. Sophie, the owner, treated us wonderfully, and both she and Naima made our stay perfect. I want to highlight how good the food is, a ten for the chef, and the cleanliness of the rooms and common areas. The hotel is next to a greenway ideal for cycling or walking. We will definitely repeat the experience. Thank you so much, Sophie!!!

We had a great time in this charming hotel where Sophie attended to us very kindly at all times. We stayed for two nights and enjoyed her homemade and delicious cuisine that they offered us under the linden trees; varied and delicious breakfasts and dinners with a simple but very tasty menu featuring local and organic products. Very kind attention from all the staff. We definitely recommend a stay at Can Garay.

We were passing through the area, and we stopped to have a drink; we found it to be a very pleasant and quiet place, well located for hiking in the mountains and their gorges.

Fantastic experience:
Modernist hotel from 1906 very well preserved, with period rooms that are very romantic.... Only 6 rooms, very quiet, with beautiful gardens for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.... Substantial breakfasts and delicious fork dinners. Ideal place for hiking or biking routes in the surroundings that are incredible.... Route of the gorgs, of the carrilet, etc ..
Translated from Catalan
Fantastic experience:
We arrived looking for a quiet place to disconnect, and we found a beautiful space, an old manor house very well maintained, keeping that old essence but not old and with a passion for details (believe me, it overflows with history in every corner you look at). But above the beauty of the place, the beauty of the house, and the awakenings listening to the birds and the great dinners they prepared for us, what has finally made us fall in love is how well their hosts took care of us, which has convinced us that this will be our new getaway place we want to escape to from the day to day. Thank you very much Sophie and Lluis, see you soon!!
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
We went to have a drink, there was no service anywhere. We had to go inside and notify her... when she finally came... she served it to us open... and I think a small glass of wine and a beer for 6€ is a bit exaggerated. We were thinking of coming to spend a weekend... but given what we've seen.
Translated from Catalan
Fantastic experience:
IF YOU'RE GOING TO VISIT THE AREA, YOU HAVE TO STAY HERE. IT'S A PLACE WITH A LOT OF CHARM... BUILT IN 1906 AND VERY WELL MAINTAINED. IT WILL BE A VERY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE FROM THE CLASSIC AND REPEATED ONE THAT WE ALL HAVE HAD IN A COMMON AND ORDINARY HOTEL, CROWDED WITH PEOPLE. HOWEVER, HERE YOU ACHIEVE A SENSE OF EXCLUSIVITY, DUE TO THE FEW ROOMS AVAILABLE (ALL WITH A LOT OF PERSONALITY). SOPHIE IS THE PERSON WHO ATTENDS, ALWAYS PAYING ATTENTION TO EVERYTHING YOU NEED. IMPORTANT TO HIGHLIGHT HOW CLOSE IT IS TO MANY OF THE INTERESTING PLACES TO VISIT.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
An adorable couple who share their home and their story. The room initially struck us with its large and dark antique furniture, the completely renovated bathroom clean and bright; the bed and pillow were comfortable and the sheets very clean. The breakfast, apart from having several options, is spectacularly good and natural. In our case, since we have dinner very early, we didn't do so at the hotel as it was served from 8:30 PM, maybe that’s why the service has 4 and not 5 stars.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
Magnificent modernist house steeped in family history converted into a 'charming little hotel'. Sophie and Lluís are ideal hosts. The rooms are cozy. Service and food are of very good quality - price ratio. Excellent location and surroundings. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience:
this may be one of the most difficult reviews to explain, we have to start from a 2-star hotel, so what we will receive will be above these stars, but we can’t expect more. I can’t say it’s a Hotel, nor an airbdb, actually, I experienced it as if I had been invited to spend the weekend at their home, modern, cozy, with a kitchen well above expectations, they have good wines, and where you can enjoy it will be in their garden, reading a book or relaxing in any of the spaces available. It is run by Lluís and Sophie, she, of pure English origin, serious and highly formal, Lluís, very sociable and eager to meet everyone who comes to his home, we both stayed drinking shots and if it weren't for me... we could have been there all night... so BRUTAL ;-)
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: We stayed at Can Garay for 2 nights whilst attending a family wedding nearby. Sophie, our host, couldn't have been more helpful. Breakfast was a superb continental/Catalan bread, croissants & local meat/cheeses with plenty of juice and coffee. We had an evening meal on the first night, 3 delicious courses without being overfaced by too much food. Normally we would be equipped with our walking shoes etc, but unfortunately we had no time in this short visit, so hopefully we will return for a longer stay.
Positive experience:
We were in the garden making a touch and it is a beautiful place, very quiet and pleasant. Moreover, good service. To repeat.

Positive experience:
It is an old manor house very well preserved. The owner attends to you very well. There is no elevator (error!! We were with a stroller!) and the doors are narrow and you had to keep opening and closing them to get the stroller through. The rooms were very hot and there was only a small fan. The breakfast was very good and had gluten-free options! There is parking.

Fantastic experience:
My partner and I have been there for a week, and we have nothing but beautiful words to describe our stay. The accommodation is in a beautiful modernist house, which Sophie and Lluís take care of with all kinds of detail. Both they and Estefania made us feel at home. We slept and ate wonderfully (luxuriously), and all of this surrounded by an impressive garden that makes you forget you are in civilization. Nevertheless, it is situated in the very heart of the village Les Planes d'Hostoles, which has the charm of a bunch of healthy itineraries that take you to the beautiful gorgs, where you can refresh yourself and enjoy nature in its fullest splendor. Of course we will return, right? :)

Fantastic experience:
I recently visited there with my family (a 1.5-year-old child) once again. We had - just like we did a few years ago - a fantastic time with Sophie and Lluis, in a wonderfully designed hotel with the best food. The large garden is beautiful and our child had a great time there. In the garden, there is a small swing, a pond with fish, and every now and then the neighborhood cats stop by - a real highlight. The rooms are cozy, lovingly decorated with large windows and comfortable beds. The area where the hotel is located is extremely beautiful, with a long-distance cycling route running right by the hotel, which can also be walked - to the left and right there are hiking routes into the mountains or gorges of the volcanic landscape - all car-free and walkable. Overall, the landscape is characterized by green mountains and mountain rivers; in good weather, you can see all the way to the Pyrenees. In a good hour's drive, you can reach the sea, and in just under an hour, Girona - everything is beautiful - we will gladly return.

Fantastic experience:
In May, I spent a week with my partner and our one-and-a-half-year-old baby at Hotel Can Garay, and it was perfect. My son loved the garden and the thousands of corners to discover, as well as watching the birds, cats, and fish. Or going up and down the stairs to the vegetable garden :P. The room is tastefully decorated, clean, and quiet. Sophie, Lluis, and Estefanía are super friendly and were very attentive to the baby. They even gave us a room with two single beds (room no. 6?), which, when pushed together, made a family bed where we could all sleep with plenty of space (they also offered us a travel crib, but we preferred to sleep together). The house is beautiful, and you can tell it has been lovingly restored. The region is very special. From the hotel, you can walk to the river or walk along the old railway line (now a bike path) while the baby takes a nap ;). By car, you can take a day trip to the sea or go see the volcanoes of the Garrotxa. There are also many routes for biking (which can be rented at the hotel itself). Thank you so much, Sophie and Lluis, we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back soon!

Weekend getaway in the Garrotxa region.
Hotel Can Garay
A modernist Monument hotel from 1906 and declared architectural heritage by the Generalitat de Catalonia.
Les Planes d’Hostoles
Approximate price per night 70€ per person (breakfast included).
The welcome at the hotel from the owners is excellent. Sophie and Lluís pay attention to the details to make your stay fantastic.
A space of tranquility and relaxation where you can disconnect from everything for a few days.
The rooms preserve the antique furniture and are spacious, all with exterior windows.
And when you wake up, Sophie and Lluís are waiting for you with the table set in the garden, where you can have breakfast at your leisure, with the option to choose from different options.
And you can't miss having tea in the afternoon accompanied by one of the cakes that Sophie makes handmade; we tried the chocolate and banana brownie and it was spectacular.
And at the hotel, you have the option to rent bicycles to ride some sections of the Via Verda del Carrilet.

Small hotel to spend a few days, in a place at the entrance of Garrotxa to the south... it's 25 minutes from Olot. The customer service was a bit dry.
Translated from Catalan
Fantastic experience: Wonderful welcome, beautiful setting, ideally situated for our cycling holiday on the Via Verde between Olot and San Feliu de Guixols in Catalunya. Sophie was a careful and attentive host who, along with her team, looked after us really well. We were lucky to have one dinner and breakfast inside and one day outside and both were beautiful. Good quality food and drinks, nicely served and in a lovely setting. We will definitely be back.
Fantastic experience:
My partner and I have spent three fantastic days. The house is modernist, beautiful both inside and out, and has a rich history. The hosts, Lluís and Sophie, are very kind and attentive. The house has a beautiful garden where you can have breakfast and dinner, if the weather is nice, in the shade of the linden trees. We had dinner one night and the food was amazing. Sophie makes homemade cakes and the desserts on the menu. At five in the afternoon, you can ask for tea and taste Sophie’s cakes or if not, have a beer (they have wonderful Belgian beers) while enjoying the garden and the mountains of La Garrotxa. Inside there is a very cozy dining room (we had dinner inside because it was raining) and a fireplace, which in winter must provide more warmth than the house already has by itself. It's super well located just 100 meters from the greenway and from the house itself you can rent a bike to ride it, and if you get too hot, there's a cool freshwater spring right there! A joy of a little hotel. I’m sure we will return! See you soon Lluís and Sophie!

Positive experience: Super lovely place with a large garden right by the bike path Via Verde and several of the beautiful natural lakes, where you can swim - several with waterfalls or small streams over stones (remember the ticket, which goes to the protection of the sites). The hotel has 7 rooms on the first floor with views, one is a suite/family room. The hotel is a tastefully renovated art nouveau villa, where the very friendly host couple also lives in part of the basement, and where the host grew up. Be sure to have lunch or dinner here, it is super delicious and in the summer you eat in the shade in the garden. Delicious breakfast included. We would love to come back.
Positive experience:
Everything was fine, but the owner was upset about the noise from a festival we held in the beautiful setting of DE LES PLANES DE HORTOLES, saying she would go to the Town Hall to complain, when we OURSELVES, the organizers, were her guests. VERY little commercial.

Positive experience:
The hotel is beautiful, but the service from the manager disappointed us a lot. We arrived at 7 PM, told her we wanted to have dinner, and she said it was too late in a hotel with 4 rooms. I asked her to recommend somewhere to eat, and both restaurants she suggested were closed. Before going out for dinner, she told us that if we wanted, we could have dinner. First, it was late, and then it was fine. In the end, we found a really nice place, had a great dinner, and the service was phenomenal, and much cheaper than what she finally offered us, which was 50€ for both.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
Cozy hotel, meticulously cared for in all its details and with all the comforts. The dinner is excellent (special mention to Sophie's apple crumble), served in a pleasant dining room by the fire. The owners are very friendly, the hotel gardens are beautiful, and the surroundings are filled with hiking trails for all tastes. Highly recommended!

I cannot speak about the Hotel because I have not stayed there, but at first glance it is perceived to be of modernist construction. The hotel is surrounded by a pleasant and well-maintained garden area, within which I was able to enjoy the concert by Quimi Portet.

Fantastic experience: We had a fabulous 2 nights at this delightful, quirky and very comfortable family hotel. The building, dating back to 1906, is full of atmosphere, with lots of interesting art and beautiful stained glass windows. The room was very comfortable with a lovely view, and the gardens are very well tended and restful. But best of all was Sophie, our host, who was very hospitable, funny and helpful, and served us fabulous evening meals cooked by her husband. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience:
Charming, a discovery!! Good food, comfortable rooms, and modernist decor.

Fantastic experience: We spent a night at this family hotel during our bike trip with the kids and truly enjoyed it. Sophie, our host, took great care of us, made sure everyone was happy and served us an amazing dinner. The kids loved playing out in the big garden with the trampoline and the room was big and comfortable. The house is an historical beauty and not to be missed!

A beautiful, idyllic place. We didn't stay there, we just stopped for breakfast before going hiking, but I wanted to stay. In the gardens, they have games for kids, a barbecue area, and a bar on the terrace that must be great for having a drink in the cool summer nights.

Fantastic experience:
Hotel right by the Green Way, just a 5-minute walk from the Gorg de Can Poetí. It has a fantastic garden where breakfast or dinner becomes an unmatched pleasure. The treatment from all the staff is fantastic and the facilities are more than acceptable. Unbeatable price-quality ratio, around €100/night. We will repeat.

Fantastic experience:
Les Planes D'hostoles, a property built in 1906, retains its original flavor. Its owner Lluís is a great character, and his love for cooking is evident in the dishes they serve. We were treated by his family, for which we are grateful for their warmth, friendliness, service, and attentions. We enjoyed their gardens and facilities... Thank you

Fantastic experience:
a great experience. We will return. We arrived with bikes with a child and a baby and everything was great! They have space to store bikes and trailers. The room is nice, clean, and comfortable. Modernist decoration with great taste. The breakfasts are abundant and the dinners are delicious. The kids loved the trampoline and made friends with other kids who were also staying there. If the house is beautiful, the garden is fantastic! You feel at ease, it's quiet because there are few rooms (8) so there can't be many people, and there are play areas and corners to relax. There were couples with children and without children, small groups of friends.. We visited the waterfalls, as the surroundings are abundant. ernesto and lluis are great hosts.

We only used the bar to have a vermouth and the service, I must say, was not only professional but generous when serving drinks and the amounts of the tapas portions. The views are nice, and furthermore, the patio where we enjoyed them while having the vermouth is very welcoming.

Beautiful modernist style accommodation. Family atmosphere and very good treatment. Ideal for hiking routes and visiting the numerous waterfalls nearby. Very accessible.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Curious hotel in a modernist building, curious to find that style in La Garrotxa, honestly. The owner is a descendant of the owners. Good service, the breakfast and dinner feel very homemade. The rooms are very well distributed. A bit expensive, from my point of view, hence the 4****.

We were there this weekend and it is an ideal place to disconnect and transport you to another era. The decoration is very well cared for and perfect with the entire house. The staff is very friendly.!!!!!

Practical as a starting point for excursions in Garrotxa. The location is bad, next to a road and a town without attractions. Nice building, outdated rooms lacking comfort details, for example, ours did not have a bathtub.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Family-friendly, simple, and cozy hotel. Modernist building decorated with coherence and taste. Adequate rooms. There is no air conditioning, although we did not find it lacking. Both dinner and breakfast were good and abundant. If we return to the area, we will repeat.

Positive experience:
Disappointed. Paying €91 per night seems like an abuse. The room was acceptable, but the bathroom was tiny without a bidet and with half a shower tray.... the best thing about this hotel is the common areas, which are nice and cozy, but the photos of the rooms don't do justice to reality.

Hotel with a very good value for money. We stayed here with my wife because we are amateur cyclists and the greenway passes a few meters away. The rooms are immaculate just like the treatment from its owner who is very kind and friendly. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience:
I spent this weekend with my partner at Hotel Can Garay. The truth is that the hotel is great, the room very cozy, the cleanliness is top-notch, and the breakfast in the huge garden is fantastic: cold cuts, toast, juice, coffee with milk, etc... The dinner was luxurious, honestly, just like the breakfast. Dining in the garden, with ambient light and spectacular views of the surroundings is priceless. The owners are super friendly and very pleasant; one day we went on a hike, and they prepared us for a picnic. It was really great to spend a weekend there; the routes to the waterfalls are amazing, and after the hike, arriving at the hotel and being able to have a drink in the gardens before dinner is fantastic... Truly a highly recommended hotel; if I had to mention something negative, it would be that our stay felt muuuuuy short!
