The station has been substantially modernised; the original building at street level provides access to a large, modern 4-platform station in a deep concrete cutting, with lift and escalator access. The ticket office is in a modern building above the platforms. There's a cafe and waiting area. The station has a roughly hourly train service from Barcelona, most of which terminate here, with a handful going further north to the border. Trains take between an hour and 90 minutes, depending on the stopping pattern.

Multiple small out buildings show the history of the home. A pool is available for warm weather days. The inn keepers are outstanding. Gloria and Coldo are warm and welcoming. They both have a wonderful sense of humor. We were in early off season so we had it all to ourselves. A walk in french couple passing by joined us for dinner and breakfast on our first night. For a ridiculously low price they will prepare dinner for you. Humbly I'm a really really good cook. Koldo blew me away. The B&B is out of the town area so I highly suggest eating there. Wine is served made by a local cooperative which was great. Gloria helped us will all our needs. We love vinyards and she helped set up a local one which was one of the most inserting ones we have ever seen ( we have seen a lot). We had time for great tours with beautiful vistas. Absolutely loved Girona!! Very highly recommended Slanche!!

Although a little difficult to find at first, it's location actually adds to its appeal. Quiet and secluded. The restaurants serve good food, but the price makes eating there nightly unrealistic. If you are looking for more casual fare it is best to look in the surrounding areas for dining options. Service was quick and efficient in all areas. If you are an English speaker, be forewarned there may be some issues communicating. Although the majority of the staff speak Spanish and French well, English is not spoken by most. Over all a great hotel if you want all of the rich scenery of Spain, without the hustle and bustle of Barcelona.

FROGS & BIRDS SINGING ?…read more The wife and I travel often and have stayed in luxury and subpar hotels based on the location and cost, and our current European adventure has had many lodging surprises. After an extensively grueling internet search, we found the Mas Sola Hotel in Northern Spain. The photos of the expansive property looked promising. We arrived at the Mas Sola hotel with an abundance of parking and were expecting luxury but would accept slightly less. We were immediately pleased by the ultra modern mediterranean decor and the well arbored curb appeal. The front desk clerk was friendly and provided the general hotel information and placed that golden room key into my hand and we happily pranced into this georgous room on the second floor overlooking a picturesque manicured pasture with a duck pond surrounded by tall trees wedged up against the pool - that was a long winded sentence. In a distance, there was a light fog floating around green mountains. The bedroom was modern with all the ammenities including a jewelry safe, free internet, flat screen tv (spanish channels only - but we're in Spain, so understandable) and a top class bathroom sporting a bidet, which was a first. One phone call to the front desk, and an extra large mid-firm body pillow and bottled waters were at our door within minutes, things are going great. Took a breather and sat on our private balcony to soak in the views. Hopefully, you can visualize what I observed. We took a stroll of the massive property and noticed a few of the ammenities which are as follows: Massola Restaurant, tennis and pickleball courts, two swimming pools, playground, gym, breakfast chamber, massage room and of course a full liquor bar in the main lobby. Ordered a cold draft beer from the bar and then received a well needed relaxing massage by Carmen who dug deep into my aching muscles. The massage prices range from $45 to $85, which was very reasonable. No available Ubers at this location but the hotel will order a taxi service upon request. There are two towns nearby - Girona and Santa Coloma de Farners with many bars, restaurants and rich history. Spent three nights at the Mas Sola Hotel and since the hotel does not have modern air conditioning, we slept with the patio door open and fell asleep to the sounds of frogs croaking and birds chirping forming a tranquil symphony. Absolutely impressed by the hospitality, the tasty Catalonian-Spanish influenced breakfast buffet every morning and the great accomodations which were a strong five stars all the way.

Our room was situated on the second floor with a private balcony overlooking a green pasture with a large duck pond. Because there was no option for cooling air we had to leave the windows open while we slept. It was actually peacefully, relaxing to go to sleep with the sound of frogs croaking and birds chirping. The grounds were enormous with all kinds of activities to enjoy. The five star restaurant was just steps away and we ate there two times during our three day stay celebrating my husband's birthday.
