Mil Estrelles

Top choice in Girona


Stargazers will adore this unique, owner-designed country hideaway, 16km north of Girona. Fabulously combining old stone and modern plastic, it offers three lovably rustic rooms in a noble 18th-century farmhouse, as well as fun, stylish rooms (some with bath tubs) in clear plastic bubbles scattered around the garden, perfect for spotting constellations from the comfort of your double bed.

It's all designed for couples, with eco credentials in mind; there are no bathroom doors and facilities include a floatarium, sauna and hot tub, along with massages. Dinners are available, often delivered to your room.

It's 1.5km northwest of Pont-Xetmar (which is on the C66) and well signposted. Book ahead, and leave the kids at home.
