Farmhouse with 9 Bedrooms, Sleeps 20, Garden, Swimming Pool
Casa Fornells is an independent masia (500m2 building with a 6,000m2 garden) with 9 bedrooms, each with private bathroom, and a private fenced-in 12x6 meter pool set in a gorgeous garden. Setting this house apart in terms of price-quality are the following: a beautiful garden surrounded by tall cypress trees with several attractive vine and flower covered pergolas for shadded "al fresco" meals around the BBQ, plenty of different sitting areas indoors, including a dining room seating well over 20 guests, and all for very resonable rates. The location is also notable, in a rural area a short walk from a small town with shopping & restaurants on the commuter train route, 70 minutes to Barcelona, 8 kms to Girona, and 15 kms to beaches! In many ways, hard to beat!
Casa Fornells is set in a nice green rural area of beautiful old stone houses and right next to a small pitch and putt golf course, so the wide views of distant mountain ranges around the house are unobstructed.
Outside there are a couple of large pergolas made of thick tree trunks overgrown with climbing vines offering shade for outdoor meals near the BBQ, and another covered wooden-beamed veranda just outside the living room. This is a house that invites you to spend a lot of time out of doors.
The front doors open onto a central hallway which distributes traffic throughout the house. On the left is the computer and reading room with PC, wi-fi and a couple of loungechairs under a reading lamp. Across the hall is another small dining or sitting room which seats up to 6 at a round table, perfect for card games. Beyond on your right is the kitchen, not very large for such a huge house, but at least well equipped. Around the corner from the kitchen is the main dining room, measuring over 30m2, with one of those long-planked tables seating 20 guests. Separating the kitchen from the large living room is the stairway heading upstairs, and beside that, the downstairs bedroom with king-size double bed and private full bathroom, and a door permitting private direct access to the garden. The large 70m2 main living room is four steps down from this main bottom floor level and at the top of the stairs is the general bathroom.
The 1st floor is split into two levels with a total of 7 bedrooms, each with private bath. Three steps separate the two wings: one wing, set around a large central room with a small table and chairs, has five rooms in total, 4 rooms with king-size double beds and 1 room with two single beds. The other wing has two rooms, one with double bed and the other with two single beds, each with private bath.
On the top floor there is a large suite with a private anteroom, measuring about 70m2, with old fashioned tile floor under wooden ceiling beams.
