L’Avenc de Tavertet
Capacity: Rooms to rent
Information:
L’Avenc, a fortified “masia”, had a much longer story dating back to the 13th century, with a beautiful 16th century extension and unique rural Catalan facade that captivated anyone passing by.
It had stood abandoned and lonely on the cliffs for more than 50 years between the historic villages of Rupit and Tavertet. In 1997, the Abey-Parris family, opted to restore this ruin and thus, our dream, and sometimes nightmare, began. We chose both traditional building materials, local workers, and disappearing skills when restoring the house, decided on the use of renewable energy for heating, hot water and electricity for the house and cottages, took an active interest in acquiring and using fair trade, local and organic products, and became engrossed in sustainable management of water and electricity. Above all, we’ve always been concerned with animal welfare, local or fair trade produce and wanted l’Avenc to reflect this which we do through a food-hamper and breakfast options.
We work hand-in-hand with Obra Social de CatalunyaCaixa Foundation in order to improve the 300 hectares we co-manage. We are aware that there is an urgent need to protect these areas, habitats and species that are most vulnerable.
L’Avenc is presently an apart-hotel, although the ‘masia’ remains our family home. It combines de 16th century architecture of the ‘masia’ with the rustic-country style of the cottages and, more recently, with a more modern wing; which encompasses the swimming-pool area, reception, a sitting-room / breakfast area and ‘The Trees’ studios, rooms and apartments. During the week, the Jacuzzi is open only on Tuesday and Thursday, depending on the bookings.Opening period: On request
Prices: On request
