At the end of a narrow valley in the mountains, away from roads and noises, you can find these six apartments resulting from the restoration of an old sawmill. They have spectacular views on the woods of La Garrotxa, a famous region in Catalonia for its volcanoes, forests and trees like beeches, oaks, aspens, Holm oaks, maples and box trees. The source of the name of the apartments is in these trees.

La Garrotxa is a region only 40 minutes away from the Pyrenees and the Costa Brava. You can easily go to the high Pyrenees or the sea on a day trip. It also offers an interesting landscape and lots of hike paths for nature lovers, like the Natural Park of the volcanoes.

The building is environmentally friendly, as it has solar panels for hot water and a biological purifying plant of waste water. The decoration is based on colours of the surrounding nature: greens and blues, reds and browns, shades we find on these forests along the four seasons.

On the ground floor with direct exit to the garden and playing park, great with small children, we have two apartments for couples and an apartment for four people. We find the same on the first floor but with terraces, which makes them very bright.

These apartments were initially rented for holidays, nowadays we only make long term letting.

The source of the name“L'illa”, the island, is in the two streams at the edge of this old grazing field. They are called Riudaura and Artigues streams and they are well-known in the region for their pools with fresh waters. For a long time this field has been called the island for it is really an island of peace in the forest.
