The place

A restored masía in the quiet hills above Girona.
The kind of place people arrive at with plans and never quite leave.

The road climbs into the Vall de Llémena and leaves you at Mas Margot, alone in the hills with the valley opening below. Eight rooms, each quiet and full of light, with deep soaking baths and wide windows framing the hills. Old stone meets clean lines; warm wood, natural light, nothing showy, nothing rushed.

Days take the shape you give them — a long breakfast, a ride through Girona's hills, a walk with no destination, or the pool and the view and nothing at all. Most guests come meaning to explore and find they'd rather not move.

Hosts · Vall de Llémena

Meet the hosts

Michèle and Julio, a dynamic duo who run the place themselves — and more often than not, end the day sharing a glass of wine with their guests.

They found Mas Margot nearly swallowed by nature — trees growing through the rooms, the roof long gone — and where most would have walked away, they stayed. Years of patient restoration later, they've run it ever since: Julio keeping the house going, Michèle looking after the guests, from the welcome message before you arrive to breakfasts that stretch into long conversations. The food is now Fede's, their chef, who sources and cooks it all — vegetables from nearby farms, olive oil from a neighbour's grove, charcuterie and cheese from Girona's best.

A note from Solwyn

We loved meeting Julio and Michèle — full of life, humour and heart, the kind of hosts who make a guest feel like an old friend by the second morning. What stays with us is a line of Julio's about the rebuild: it taught them how to wait. You feel that patience in every room.

What you'll find

A ruin they listened to

They rebuilt with a local masía specialist and the designers at Llimona Casa, keeping what gave the house its soul: the original roofline, the window proportions, the ochre shutters, the arched volta catalana wine cellar carved beneath the house. Old stone against smooth plaster, raw wood against brushed metal. It stands now as if it had always been this way.

Valley light

Each room in the masía is quiet and full of light, with a deep soaking bath and wide windows framing the hills. Small gestures are everywhere. Niche alcoves with hand-painted finishes, reclaimed furniture, ceramics from nearby artisans. You wake to birdsong and mist rolling through the valley.

The table

Everything served here is fresh and close to home, sourced and cooked by Fede, the house chef. Vegetables from farms down the road, oil from a neighbour's grove, cheese and charcuterie from Girona. Breakfasts with Michèle run long, dinners are worth staying in for.

A house with Dalí in it

The region's artistic heritage runs quietly through the house, and literally so in one detail: Michèle's father kept a copy of Dalí's libretto to his Être Dieu opera-poem, meaning one day to stage it. It never happened. The libretto is here.

Guest words

“Michelle and Julio made us feel right at home from the very first moment. [...] We loved the pool and, above all, the peace and quiet that permeates the entire place. [...] It's a place that invites you to stay, where everything is designed to make you feel at home. We will return, without a doubt.”

Getting there

Finding Mas Margot.

Mas Margot sits above the Vall de Llémena, in the hills north-west of Girona. Girona airport is around 30 minutes, the city and its TGV station a little more, Barcelona about an hour and a half. Bring a car — the house is up in the hills with nothing within walking distance, which is the point.
