Bright Ideas: Catalonia

This wonderful home in Arties is equally suited to a winter getaway or a summer holiday. With plenty of space for up to seven guests and easy access to the stunning Catalan Pyrenees, it's a fantastic place to begin your adventures.

The interior is a modern twist on traditional alpine design – think comfy furnishings and plenty of natural wood. You'll love lighting up the fire and getting toasty on chilly evenings, as snow falls softly outside. The smart kitchen is equipped with everything you need to whip up a delicious meal to refuel after a busy day. And, you can drift off to sleep in one of the comfy beds, ready for the action-packed day to follow.

From here, the Baqueira Beret ski area is just a short drive away, where you'll find slopes to suit every ability. If you're visiting during the warmer months, you can hop on your bike, or lace up your boots, and join one of the trails weaving through the epic landscapes. And, there are plenty of restaurants in Arties and nearby Baqueira, so you can indulge in some local dishes as you share tales of your excursions.
