The Fountain: the window is orientated to the place of the fountain of Cal Ros. Capacity: 2 or 3 people
The Era: we call it this because it faces the south and the threshing floor is one of the closest things we can see from it. Its circular shape, the barn, the roller, the thresher, are all things that bear witness to an activity that took place until the end of the 1960s. Now it is used as a recreation area. Sleeps 2, 3 or 4 people
Plain of the Thyme: the room overlooks the east and with the first rays of sunlight, we can see across the other side of the torrent, a slope and cultivated land surrounded by thyme. With the arrival of spring, the thyme is one of the first flowers to bloom giving us a very characteristic colour and smell. Our ancestors used to call this place "El pla dels timons"(the thyme plain) Sleeps 2 or 3 people
The Valley of Sirola: its windows face the west and experience the sunsets. To the northwest we can see "la vall de Sirola".. Sirola is a torrent that collects the rainwater from the smaller torrents and also from the Cal Ros source. This valley is made up of plaster factory and oak woods and also agricultural land..

The owner´s comments
Cal Ros is an isolated Catalan farmhouse built in the middle of the 19th-century, on a farm with cereal crops as well as almond trees. It is situated in the centre of Catalonia. The farmhouse has had an extension built and has been restored , preserving its original architecture, with the aim of complementing its agricultural activity with that of agricultural tourism.
Our type of accommodation is that of a "masía", in other words, an isolated agricultural tourism house with room rental and an exclusive catering service for our guests. We prepare local as well as seasonal dishes made with quality products from our own farm and using traditional cooking techniques. We consider agricultural tourism as an offer of heritage, tradition, scenery, gastronomy and culture.
The fields of cereal crops, forests of pine, oak and Holm oak trees are the predominant feature of the surrounding area. The vegetable garden, the small selection of livestock for domestic consumption (rabbits, chickens, ducks, hens, etc.), the threshing floor, car parking facilities, the swimming pool and the recreation area are some of the other characteristics to be found around the farm. " A place to experience nature in peace".
Guests can leave us their "opinions and memories" in our guestbook which we will publish on our website .
