The rooms in the building are spacious and comfortable and the windows have exceptional views of the surrounding landscape.

In the hotel's restaurant, enjoy the very best cuisine of Catalonia with dishes such as the popular Osona sausages, "carn d'olla" (stew), and anglerfish au gratin with ali-oli sauce.

In the nearby town of Vic, the places to visit include the Sant Pere Cathedral, the Roman temple, the Main Square with porticos and the Episcopal Museum.
