About this property

Cycling/Beaches/Dining: Best of Costa Brava. Chic Stone "Castle" in Village A/C

  • Roomy, modernized, stylish "castle" with tower and air conditioning in a medieval village 25 minutes from the best Costa Brava beaches. Ideal for weekenders or vacationing families, cycling groups, golfers, history buffs, and foodies. Dining/cycling/cultural sites nearby. 1 1/2 h from Barcelona with updated kitchen, bathrooms and heating system. Large communal spaces for dining and relaxing, with an outdoor terrace and garden.
    The house accommodates 10 guests. A bonus apartment next door is available for up to 4 additional guests for a surcharge if available.
    Next to (1 mile from) La Bisbal in a tiny medieval village with lush scenery, best beaches (19.5 km/12 miles away/24 minutes), renowned golf courses, quiet village living.

    With 4 bedrooms plus bonus dormitory room/family room with an adjoining deck looking out on the countryside. Comfortably sleeps 10. It has four baths, and a newly remodeled, modern kitchen. It also has a large stone vaulted dining room off the kitchen. It has a spectacular view from the town's original 13th century watch tower and inviting terrace. Spacious and quiet enough for yoga practitioners, insulated enough for boisterous parties, and medieval enough that many of our young guests have called it "Hogwarts."
    There is an additional stone cottage adjoining to accommodate groups of 13 for a surcharge.

    This home is perfect for the budget conscious traveler or group who enjoys authenticity and village life, but proximity to world class dining, beaches and cultural offerings.


    For the more active traveler, Girona is a center for cycling, both road and mountain. Hiking trails have been well developed in the area. There is world class golfing in Pals. The house and area are ideal for any time of year, since there is radiant heat in the home and the year round beauty of the country side. We've had guests stay for a weekend, weeks, or even months. IDEAL FOR A BARCELONA DWELLER or family to escape the city for the quiet to work, hike, relax, and regroup. Can Torre is also an ideal home base for other European travel, since it is close to the French Border and 20 to the Girona airport which has cheap flights to destinations all over Europe.

Our family loved this home. Coming from NYC it was a refreshing break from city life-- in a beautifully maintained home in a small, friendly village. Lovely balcony with a view. Near beaches and other towns/sites of interest. The host was prompt with replies and assistance. We hope to visit again.

Beautiful views, charming neighbors, lovely villages.

We stayed with another family for Christmas. The home is very cozy with ample room for a couple of families vacationing together. Easy to get to with a larger town nearby if you should need extra provisions or shopping. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend it.

Charming Medieval Tower Home

Can Torre is a lovely remodeled medieval tower centrally located in Costa Brava. The location in Cruilles is 30 minutes from all the major sights and gorgeous beaches of the area. We had a wonderful time!

Charming home

This home was awesome for our 2 family vacation of 11 travelers. Everyone had a comfortable place to sleep and the home was fully equipped with all the necessities needed. Having a washing machine was helpful! There were also bikes available for our use which was splendid. We all appreciated the cleanliness and updated bathrooms as well. We highly recommend this charming home for your next stay in Cruilles!

Great Place for a Vacation

With my family (wife, son, stepfather, and mother) we spent two weeks here back in May. We loved the house and the region. The home is super comfortable, and every night we cooked and out on on the rooftop balcony with a view of a 13th-century church. Lots of bedrooms, two full baths, three floors--so it also worked great for having space within the home. Great location for seeing small, medieval towns. You do need a car, but there are a ridiculously beautiful amount of places to see nearby and surprisingly good, affordable restaurants. Recommend it super highly.

A wonderful break with all the amenities.

We stayed here for February break, 2012, with three adults, five children and a dog. Everything was better than advertised, it's just such a charming and generous space. Cruilles is a perfect blend of medieval village with modern amenities five minutes away in the local town, La Bisbal. The kids loved the house, and set up a "Kids-Club" (no grown-ups allowed) in the tower. They could run through the walled village with relative safety, explore the fields, play in the garden, visit the local monastery. The grown-ups enjoyed drinks on the terrace, big meals in the kitchen, and peaceful nights. We explored local beach towns, hiked the cliffs, visited local architectural wonders, the Dali museum, went horse-back riding and more. Next trip: we will definitely organize road-biking in advance. Couldn't quite fit it in and it is road-biking heaven -- it was hard to just sit and watch the packs of cyclists filling their canteens at the fountain out front. Thanks to our hosts for all their comprehensive information that made the trip so rich with experience.

Best rental ever!

What fun it was to stay at this rental! Walking in was like stepping back in time with the stone interior, vaulted ceilings, etc. The whole village is like that! The place was very well equipped, in the kitchen, the linens, everything. The beds were comfortable. The grandkids loved living in a stone house, especially with the tower at the top. Some of the best time was spent just walking around the village, taking in the sights and sounds. I loved hearing the old clock tower chiming out the time. The countryside was beautiful and we got to explore many other medieval villages around the area. There wasn't one place we looked that wasn't picturesque. And locals are very friendly. We were welcomed everywhere we went and had no trouble communicating with anyone. Prior to our trip the owners were incredible, filling us in on the history of the place and making suggestions on things to do and places to go. We did it all! We started out in Barcelona. Once we left there for Costa Brava we found to our delight that Spain is more than beaches, cathedrals and Salvador Dali. There are a lot of cyclists in training in the countryside and bicycles available for you to use. And the management company was awesome! They were quick to respond to all questions and requests. Very helpful, friendly and we were well supported. I just loved these guys! You can tell from all the exclamation points I'm using that I'm sincere when I say that I would return again and again to Cruilles. For a unique experience, I recommend it highly.

Charming historic house in the county, more rustic than expected.

We are a family of five (three kids). It’s a charming historic house, however more “rustic” than we expected. The cons: within an hour of arriving, we found a dead bat on the kitchen floor, and my son found several very alive cockroaches in the bathroom. The rental agency handled both issues, unfortunately this make us question the overall cleanliness of the house. Less than ideal start to the week. The hot water heater stopped working twice during our stay. Also be aware that the ceiling in the dining area leaves a layer of dust on part of the dining room table; this may be an issue if trying to seat more than five people. We had a hard time keeping the house cool with only fans. Opening the windows let in a wonderful breeze, but the windows don’t have screens, therefore it also let in bugs. The pros: the location is in a small, charming Medieval town only a few minutes’ drive from La Bisbal, 25 mins from the closest beaches, good location for exploring the area. (We did a daytrip to France to explore the Cathar castles.) The terrace was my favorite spot. The kids loved the tower. Kitchen had modern appliances, which all worked well (except for hot water heater). We tried to have a sense of humor about all the small issues (several others I didn’t list) calling it part of the “Medieval experience.” The other reviews are overwhelming positive, I’m not sure why our experience was so different.

Incredible location, exceptional value

My wife and I stayed at the Castle for two weeks during the fall, 2010. The location is absolutely wonderful with plenty of activities close by. Walking or biking through the Spanish countryside exploring small towns, a large outdoor market in La Bizbal every Friday, and the beaches a short drive away. Many ruins from Iberians and Romans are easily accessed from this location. With the wifi we were able to research places to go on our laptop and within an easy morning drive explored mountains, beaches, museums and small towns. La Bizbal is the larger town nearby for shopping. La Biz, as it is called by people in the know, has a super market (the Orangutan) that has excellent selection and good wine and great seafood market. Within the town there are also several good restaurants and small shops and bakeries. The local dirt road makes it fun with no traffic to either walk or bike with a little daypack for shopping. Follow the well marked trails, market with either signs or the = trail marker to La biz or to an early Roman church less than a mile from the castle. Girona is moderate drive (35 Minutes) and is a wonderful city to explore, be sure to go to the Archeology museum and see the sarcophagus of the Count de Cruilles and other items from what could possibly be this very castle. Our favorite nearby small town was Torroelle de Mont Gris, a 15 minute drive, and the starting point to hike up to the ruins of the castle on Mont Gris. This town has a wonderful shopping district, excellent sidewalk cafes in the Central Plaza, and very friendly people. Although we didn’t travel with children, the area is super kid friendly. The accommodations date to the 13th century, and as such are a bit rustic when compared to those in a modern American home, however, they are functional, and add to the charm of staying in a medieval village. We shopped and cooked in many nights and enjoyed happy hour on the terrace overlooking the panoramic country. Climb the watch tower and imagine using the archer’s windows to defend the village. I would highly recommend this rental to the adventurer who is seeking an authentic experience in the beautiful Spanish countryside. I can’t wait to return.

Globalement déçu malgré tout.

Une semaine en famille. Concernant le gîte, nous avons été satisfaits par les équipements disponibles (il est très bien équipé avec même un grand nombre de vélos) par contre la propreté était clairement à revoir (des restes de nourriture dans les assiettes, etc...), Les photos de l'annonce survendent le produit ! C'est très sombre et mal insonorisé (simple vitrage préjudiciable puisque toutes chambres donnent sur la rue), un trou dans le plafond d'une des chambres, la documentation disponible n'est plus du tout à jour ni entretenue, aucun accueil tout se passe par WhatsApp... et je passe les détails comme l'invasion de fourmis dans la cuisine, les odeurs d'égouts, le moisi dans la machine à laver, la déco vieillotte, etc... En clair, pour ce prix nous ne recommanderons pas ce gîte...

Nice quiet community, unique accommodation, lots of space

Kristen was quick to reply to any questions before our stay, and Renate at the management team was great. We had 4 couples and there was lots of space for all of us. Located in a quiet community. Problem with the front door was fixed while we were there. We made use of the bikes and washing machine, as well as the dishwasher and oven. There was lots of hot water for showers and baths. Clean bedding and well equipped kitchen. We did not use the garden as it was cooler while we were there. We found parking on the street for our rentals. We traveled to both the beaches and the mountains from this location, as well as the cities of Barcelona and Girona. It was a great location to be away from the city.

plenty of room, great location

We stayed for 12 days, inviting our two sons and their families, plus one set of inlays, the two groups overlapping one day. There was plenty of room for all (10) and a great layout for our particular needs. We loved being in a very small, and very old, village. And we were very close to a large town (Bisbal) with all of the facilities that you would expect in a city. Even made ample use of the bicycles that were available. It's an excellent location for seeing that part of Spain, and even France if you are willing to drive a bit. Would recommend it highly.

Charming historic house in Cruilles, Spain.

We had an amazing time. There were four of us and we loved the rustic, historical Can Torre. The town is close to many attractions so we used it as our base and traveled to towns and villages close by. We had dinner at Jordi's in La Bispal the night we arrived and had amazing food and service that we returned for dinner on the last night of our stay.

Awesome stay in Can Torre, Cruilles, Spain

My husband and I were delighted with our recent stay in Cruilles, Spain, at Can Torre. It was exactly like the pictures, and it was a wonderful experience over all. There were four adults in our group, and we had plenty of space to relax, and do our own thing, and then get together at day's end. We especially loved the roof top terrace, where we had wine every evening, and coffee in the mornings. The views were gorgeous! We loved the fact that it was a good home base to go out on day trips to the beach towns, and even to France one day. Close to grocery stores and markets to lay in supplies, and explore other near by medieval towns. We would highly recommend staying here, and hope to some day return.

Enchanting and wonderful for our group of family and friends

Nine of us were more than comfortable and happy in this rather magical old and lovingly restored stone building, replete with numerous nooks and enchanting spaces. Spent our days exploring the Costa Brava region along with relaxing strolls around the quiet immediate surroundings and nearby country lanes.
