The owners of this one-time country farmhouse have gradually warmed up to the idea of welcoming more foreign guests after pleasant experiences renting to English-language guests through our website. Senora Carmen has now promised to send me new and better photos of the house, it's B&B rooms, the 2 apartments, and the several common areas, indoors and out. This is one of those best keep secret sort of places. It is just "across the road" from a five-star, $250-a-night relais & chateaux tourist trap disguised as a country inn, and I don't have to tell you where I would prefer to spend my time and money. When I get new pictures, I hope you'll see why. Oh, and I'm told the meals at Can Massanes are fantastic. Rib-sticking stuff with no frilly bits or dripped coloured stuff on the edge of a mostly empty plate. It's up to you, folks!




The facts: Can Massanes is Fontclara, a tiny hamlet situated between historic Pals and Peretallada. Type Fontclara into mapquest.com or multimap.com to see exactly where this is. There is nothing ostentatious about this little place, but it does offer good sized rooms with private bath and two bedroom apartments with one private bath each at knock-down prices, a spacious yard with garden and a decent pool, in a fantastic location, just in from the beaches at Pals bay.





While not as fancy as most of the other B&B's I work with, some people might actually prefer this house to some of the others in my listings. Especially in mid or low season, when there aren't too many other guests, for if this house has a drawback, it would be that when the four rooms and the two 2-bedrooms are all booked, you can imagine the number of guests using the pool and gardens... But some of you with kids mights want to have other families around. Still, this is not the place to go to if you are looking for secluded privacy!
