DescriptionCan Carrera is a typical Catalan stone house dating from the seventeenth century. It is part of a group of houses that are situated in a row on a small mound near the church. It has been recently restored so as to offer maximum comfort yet without losing any of its original rustic charm. It has a ground floor and two completely independent floors. The apartment is situated on the first floor. On the ground floor there is the garage and a washing mashine. Mieres, a town entirely devoted to agriculture for generations, is surrounded by mountains and is one of the few places where you can still enjoy peace and tranquility so rare in our times. Its landscapes have been described and exalted by some illustrious figures such as Josep Pla.
This typical Catalan farm house has always belonged to the Carrera family. For generations, the family has been dedicated to agriculture. Now, after leaving the farm work, they have decided to restore the house and offer it as a holiday home.
They have endeavored to retain its original rustic charm, using solutions that preserve the environment and save energy: double glazing, aluminum windows, heating, a fireplace using air to heat the hall, stone walls, wood ... As expected, the owners show much affection for the house. They have enjoyed very special moments here and hope that their guests also enjoy the natural environment of Mieres and have special moments here like those they have experienced.
