Valley Cabin

Valley Cabin: Catalonia

Tucked away in the Aran Valley of the Spanish Pyrenees, this duplex apartment embraces the natural beauty of its surroundings. The mountains become a part of the home, with windows offering a view of the rolling hills in every single room.

We love the authentic cabin feel of this home, with natural wood panels enveloping the walls, ceilings, and floors. That, along with the warming fireplace, comfortable sofa, and soft furnishings, makes for a beautifully cosy apartment. But thanks to the windows, it's still bright and cheerful. Really, the apartment lends itself to any occasion. You'll feel energised in the mornings with the natural light beaming through, enjoying a breakfast spread around the dining table, and in the evenings you can get cosy on the sofa and watch a film, or have dinner, drinks, and games around the table with soft-toned light fixtures elevating the warmth of the place.

Either way, you'll love coming home to your homely apartment after an action-packed day. The prestigious Baqueira-Beret resort is regarded as one of the best in the Pyrenees and has a bustling and diverse après ski scene. Hit the slopes and take in the vast views of the vast mountain range. And if you want to explore a bit further than the slopes, your wonderful host has lots to share about the area. Whether it's restaurant recommendations, tips on making the most of your time here, or an expert guide, they're more than happy to help.
