 SLEEP ON TREES

Huts in the trees ” offers to the lovers of nature the pleasure of a stay in direct touch with the tree and its ecosystem, the pleasures of an exile among the foliage, some nights in a nest placed in the framework of the branches of a beautiful tree.
It’s a form of alternative rural accommodation. In order to preserve the tree and its natural surroundings, the huts do not have electricity nor running water.
Because of that, at a reasonable distance, there is a centre for complementary services: the homestead The Vileta.
The Vileta is a typical Catalan country house equipped with parking, reception, canteen, living room, showers, swimming pool and garden.
