Casa Solaric is a magnificent restored farmhouse, known to the Catalan as a traditional Masia, with spectacular views of the Pyrenees Mountains. It is situated in northeast Spain close to many historic towns and villages and within an easy drive time of the old fishing ports of the Costa Brava and their splendid beaches, but also skiing in the mountains of the Pyrenees. The property sits in the middle of the Catalan region, close to the famous lake of Banyoles which is famous for a network of 5,000 kilometres of signposted paths to explore the regions famous mountain ranges, lakes, streams, rivers, valleys and vast woodlands. For the ornithologist and cyclists this is paradise.

The property itself is in a unique location. Although close to the highway network, it is situated at the far end of the 11th Century village of Serinya, which is famous for its historic church and prehistoric caves. Also within walking distance of the villa are several shops which supply daily needs, a bakery and several bars and restaurants. One local interesting restaurant in the village square offers daily a three-course lunch or dinner for €10 including as much wine as you can drink! The property is accessed by a private road that leads only to 2 or 3 local farms and therefore ensures virtually traffic free, quiet environment.

The original property has been lovingly restored in sympathy with its original architecture by the present owners in the last year, retaining all the unique features that were uncovered in the restoration, including the antique floor tiles and vaulted ceilings and also retaining the 18 inch thick stone walls which ensure the property remains cool in the summer, but warm in the winter. The property includes many original artifacts and antiques, such as the inglenook fireplace. A large 300-year old urn found between two of the internal walls has been opened up and on display using internal lighting, as is the original bread oven.
