Perched atop a hill in the heart of the Gavarres Massif Nature Reserve, close to the village of Cruïlles, La Muntanya Magica is well-situated to embrace this astounding region of rounded mountains stretching to the sea.

The area is brimming with experiences and entertainment from nature, relaxation, sport, trekking, botany and gastronomy. Starting on your own two feet, the Gevarres is a paradise for hiking and trekking, with countless tracks crisscrossing the massif. The writer Josep Pla described the undulating area as "elephantine" due to its gentle but gargantuan humps. Forested by cork oaks, holm oaks and pines, the region's forests and wetlands are brimming with wildlife, scenic views, and even human elements such as Romanesque hermitages. There is even the option of a wildlife expedition with an expert naturalist to guide you through the area's biodiversity.

But perhaps you'd prefer to get around on four legs, and there's no shortage of great horse-riding options available. Equestrian outings can be organised with the concierge and cater to all levels of riding experience. The same is true for mountain biking, with a bevvy of options catered to every need, whether you're looking for a leisurely cycle or more demanding routes that test your skills and fitness.

One of the other benefits of La Muntanya Magica's remote setting is the lack of light pollution, reintroducing guests to the immensity of the starlit sky. A local astronomer takes guests on a guided tour of stars and planets and explains the many myths and stories connected to them.

Wine lovers will be delighted with the wonderful wine-tasting opportunities run by a local oenologist and sommelier. Highlighting local wines and cavas from around the Costa Brava is a great way to get a grip on the region's wineries.

If you'd like to embrace a bit of cosmopolitan life during your stay, why not take a day trip to Girona (a 50-minute drive). Walk the city's medieval walls, explore its wealth of museums and historic sites, sink into Girona's Arab Baths, and try out some of the city's Michelin-starred restaurants.

And finally, if you fancy a dip in the Mediterranean, then why not make the trip down to Palamos (40-minute drive)? This popular seaside resort town boasts a large bay that is great for swimming and other water sports.

The sprawling interiors and grounds of La Muntanya Magica are sure to keep the kids entertained (at least for a while). With a large swimming pool, table tennis table, trampoline (netted), TV room, and more, there is no shortage of fun activities on offer without having to leave the villa.

There are great options for kids to explore the region's natural wonders, whether on foot, horseback, or mountain bike. Horse riding is a fantastic activity for the kids and a great opportunity for them to connect with animals and nature. Local equestrian and trail-riding services have a range of options for all ages, including ponies for the little ones and even docile donkeys.

If your kids are Game of Thrones fans, then make sure not to miss out on a guided tour through the city of Girona (a 50-minute drive), which boasts a number of settings from the show, such as Girona's festival square where Arya watched the play about the Stark and Lannister families.

Another great option to keep the kids entertained is to take them down to the sea at Palamos (40-minute drive). This renowned seaside resort has a swathe of great beaches for swimming and a range of water sports available.

For an even bigger adrenaline rush, why not check out PPS Park (a 45-minute drive), a great little amusement park with fun rides (especially El Cyclon!) and other activities?
