Mas El Xic, Romanyá De La Selva Overview
Mas El Xic is a countryside stay in Romanyà de la Selva, Spain, set along Vall repos entrada 1 Nº14, where the pace slows and the setting suits time outdoors. Guests often mention the practical comfort of having a terrace and BBQ facilities for simple, self-led meals, especially when the weather turns pleasant. The property also includes luggage storage and express check-in/check-out, which helps when you’re arriving late or trying to keep your schedule tight. Families considering a longer stay tend to like the family rooms, while groups value the option to travel with pets, since pets are allowed. For those who prefer to plan their days around activities, the tour desk is useful for arranging sightseeing and excursions without having to start from scratch. Offsite parking is available and discounted rates can be arranged, a detail that matters if you’re driving through the Girona region. When guests talk about the experience, they commonly highlight the sense of privacy and the ease of settling in, rather than feeling like you’re sharing space with the city. If you want a day trip, Girona’s historic centre is within reach for cathedral views and riverside walks, and Water World is a popular outing for families seeking a different kind of day. Overall, Mas El Xic is best for families, couples, and small groups who want a quieter base near Girona with the freedom to cook outdoors and come and go easily.

Should You Book Mas El Xic?
Worth booking if you want a quiet countryside base with outdoor space for simple meals, and you’re happy to drive to major sights. It’s especially appealing for travelers who value terrace/BBQ practicality and pet-friendly stays.
Best For
- Families needing room for everyone and a relaxed outdoor routine with family rooms
- Pet owners who want to travel with their pets and still have outdoor areas like a terrace and BBQ facilities
- Groups or self-led travelers who prefer making their own meals (BBQ) rather than relying on restaurants every night
- Couples or friends seeking a slower pace in a countryside setting while still being within reach of Girona attractions by car
Not Ideal For
- Travelers who want to walk to major attractions and nightlife, since key sights like Girona Cathedral and the Arab Baths are 16 km+ away
- Light sleepers or anyone sensitive to countryside quiet not being “urban convenient,” given the stay is in Romanyà de la Selva rather than central Girona
- Travelers who dislike driving, since the closest airport is Girona–Costa Brava (24 km) and Barcelona is much farther (100 km)
