A 17th-century masía at the end of a lane in the Garrotxa hills, taken back to its oldest stone instead of dressed up as a hotel.

Pricefrom €178 / night

A 17th-century masía at the end of a country road in Beuda — restored slowly and almost invisibly into a ten-room house where the old kitchen hooks still hang from the ceiling.

The place

Four hundred years of Catalan stone, restored into ten calm rooms and a barn.
A pool, a communal table, the Pyrenees on the doorstep.

The lane out of Maià de Montcal narrows until you're certain you've taken a wrong turn, then delivers you to the house at the end of it — the masía, its barn, the courtyard and pool, all inside the same four-hundred-year-old walls. Ten rooms, no more, which is what keeps it intimate: the place can be nearly full and still feel like it's yours.

The days have an open shape, breakfast by the pool, a morning in the garden yoga studio, a ride into the foothills, the long table at night. And through all of it, the quiet: the place can be nearly full and still the loudest thing is the wind and your own breath.

Meet the hosts

Gerard Greene, the man who unfinished a farmhouse

Gerard Greene co-founded YOTEL — the capsule hotels in Times Square, Heathrow, Schiphol — before walking away from everything he knew. He found this collapsed masía above Beuda by accident, and spent a year restoring it into a ten-room house that feels archaeological — each layer uncovered rather than added.

"More than a refurbishment, what we did was an unfinishing. We uncovered what was already there."

What you'll find

Four hundred years, three floors

The main house is a short lesson in how Catalan farms once lived. The ground floor, now the kitchen and long table, was the animal shed — you can still read it in the low ceilings and heavy stone. The floor above, now a lounge over the pool, was the old kitchen; the iron hooks that held cured meat and herbs are still in the ceiling, a cauldron still hanging from one. Above that, a room built around an open fire with a reading gallery set into the wall.

Taken back, not done up

Most restorations of a masía sand the past out — walls too smooth, light too even. Off Grid went the other way. Lime-washed walls, hand-cut tiles from La Bisbal, reclaimed terracotta, local stone sinks. Where a desk or an armchair could be saved, it was stripped and reupholstered and put back. The result feels almost archaeological — the building as it was, only more comfortable than the first time round.

The long table

More open house than hotel, and the evenings are the point. Most nights the chef cooks one daily-changing KM0 menu and everyone eats it together at the communal table, family-style, wine flowing, strangers at five, trading stories by ten. Book the communal table when you book the room. Through the day, three lounges with honesty bars: local wine, beer, the IPA from Besalú, coffee and water on the house.

A base for cyclists

Girona is Europe's cycling capital and Off Grid sits under two of its climbs — Rocacorba and Mare de Déu del Mont. Gerard rides seriously and has mapped routes from the door, twenty kilometres to a hundred and fifty, with a proper workshop to keep the bikes running. Others come for the garden yoga studio, or the trails into the Pyrenees. A good number don't move much at all.

Guest words

"I had a wonderful stay. This is a perfect off-the-grid luxury retreat. The rooms are high-spec, with incredibly comfy beds. The pool is lovely, and breakfast was delightful. The owner is really friendly, and the staff are great. Truly a hidden gem."

Getting there

Finding Off Grid.

Take the GI-524 north from Banyoles toward Maià de Montcal. Follow signs to Beuda. The road narrows — you're on the right path. The masía appears at the end of a lane on your left.

Address: Mas Salvanera, Maià de Montcal, 17850, Girona, Spain.

Good to know

Before you book.

Off Grid sits in La Garrotxa, a natural-park area in the northeast of Catalonia known for its volcanic landscape, forests and opportunities for the outdoors.

The resident chef prepares seasonal dishes from local ingredients on a KM0 approach, drawing on Catalan tradition and international flavours. Meals are often shared family-style around communal tables.

Guests can enjoy hiking, trail running, river swimming, cycling, or simply exploring the beautiful Garrotxa region. Off Grid also hosts workshops, creative sessions and seasonal events on site.

Yes. Sustainability is at the centre of everything Off Grid does — from low-impact operations to investment in environmentally responsible systems and a deep respect for nature.
