This exceptional rustic property for sale is located less than 10-minutes from lake Banyoles and 20-minutes from Girona in the beautiful countryside of the Pla de L’Estany. It currently operates as a successful hotel business.

The property originally dates from the 12^th century and was subsequently extended and converted into a rectory in the year 1761 to service the neighboring church. It was fully restored in 2005 and converted into a charming hotel comprising 9 spacious, individually designed, suites with separate staff accommodation, lovely gardens, a swimming pool, 1 hectare of land and a separate masia of 220m2 to restore - which would be ideal as separate accomodation for the hotel owners. The property also has an extra 80m2 to restore which could be converted in extra bedrooms or living space.

The interior design of the hotel blends modern touches with authentic features typical of a period Catalan masía - including exposed stone walls, exposed wooden beams, vaulted ceilings and a beautiful gothic ceiling in one of the reception rooms (currently used as a concert hall).

The hotel was bought six years ago by the current owners and has become a popular venue for the staging of classical concerts and local cultural events.

For a buyer wishing to convert the property into a private residence, this would make a wonderful country estate.
