The origin of La Xiquella is the cheese atelier that we have in the country house where we produce craft cheeses made from raw milk from cow and sheep. Later we decided to open the rural accommodation in the same farmhouse where we live and work.

We have a rural house in a completely renovated farmhouse from the 18th century, ideal for families or friends who want to spend a few days of rest and tranquility in the middle of nature. The farmhouse is surrounded by forests, rivers, volcanoes, farms, crops ... and many other unforgettable places and landscapes that you will discover if you have a few days with us in the Vall d'en Bas.

The municipality of Vall d'en Bas forms a first-class geographical and landscape unit. Sawdusts, lined with carrots like those of Cabrera dels Llancers, Freixaneda or Puigsacalm, surround meadows and forests of beech, oaks and holm oaks until they reach the plain of Bas. A plain that has one of the most fertile soil in Catalonia. Meanwhile, a crowd of streams flow through the plain, pouring its water into the Fluvià river, after it has formed by jumping from the summits of Falgars. The valley has an area of ​​90.5 km2 and is about 500 meters above sea level. The Puigsacalm and the Santa Magdalena massif form one of the most characteristic silhouettes of the surroundings. From its summits with an altitude of 1,515 meters you can enjoy magnificent views over much of Catalonia. The town still houses the farmhouse where the peasant's chief Francesc de Verntallat was born. Finally we should mention two nuclei cataloged as historical-artistic sets; Vila del Mallol, located on a hill and which was for centuries the administrative capital of Vescomtat de Bas, and the nucleus of Hostalets d'en Bas.
