La Tor de Montclar is much more than a rural holiday home: it is a place of holistic well-being where the natural environment of the Bergueda, the peace of the mountains and the farmhouse facilities combine to offer a genuine health retreat. With indoor and outdoor pools, gardens overlooking the Pyrenees and absolute silence, body and mind find their balance here.
The farmhouse wellness facilities
La Tor de Montclar offers everything you need for a complete wellness retreat:
- Heated indoor pool: Perfect for swimming at any time of year, in a calm and luminous setting.
- Outdoor pool: Surrounded by gardens and with views of the Pyrenees, ideal for the warmer months.
- Meditative garden: Spacious green areas with perfect spots for yoga, tai chi or simply sitting and breathing.
- Fireplace: The element of fire completes the cycle of natural elements and offers comforting warmth.
Wellness activities in the surroundings
The Bergueda is a territory that naturally invites well-being:
- Forest bathing (shinrin-yoku): The Scots pine and beech forests around Montclar are ideal for practising this Japanese technique of connecting with nature.
- Nearby thermal springs: The thermal waters of Caldes de Boi, just over an hour away, offer therapeutic baths in a spectacular Pyrenean setting.
- Therapeutic hiking: Gentle routes along the Route of the Good Men or beside the Bastareny river combine moderate exercise with contemplation.
- Birdwatching: The Cadi-Moixero Natural Park is home to species such as the golden eagle and the bearded vulture -- observing them is a form of active meditation.
Healthy eating with local produce
Wellness also involves nutrition. The Bergueda is rich in locally sourced produce:
Visit the weekly market in Berga (Wednesdays) to buy garden vegetables, seasonal fruit, artisan honey and shepherds' cheese. The farmhouse's fully equipped kitchen allows you to prepare healthy meals with fresh, zero-kilometre ingredients.
For those who prefer not to cook, restaurants such as Fonda Xesc in Gosol or Cal Trave in Baga offer market cuisine with local produce that nourishes body and soul.
