The ground grew distant as I ascended towards the feathery clouds in the azure blue sky. I gripped the edge of the wicker basket and watched as the sprawling landscape of La Cerdaña unfolded before me. I audibly gasped when I saw the contrast between snow-capped mountains and alpine meadows alongside magnificent rolling green hills. In the distance, I spotted a stunning golf course that stretched for miles! When the hot air balloon safely set down on the ground, I immediately headed to the Hotel Fontanals Golf****nearby and booked an above par room!
A holiday perfectly in touch with nature…
Located in the heart of Cerdanya, in the Catalan Pyrenees, this peaceful hotel is the perfect base for excursions in the lush surrounding landscape. Positioned close to an aerodrome, take a hot air balloon, helicopter or small aircraft for a flight above verdant lands. Other activities nearby include horseback riding, mountain biking, white water rafting, fishing and so many more!
After a fun family day out or a romantic trip away, return to the rustic charm and outdoor pool at the tranquil resort. Comfortable spacious rooms offer comfortable beds and cooling air conditioning as well as modern amenities. Full bathrooms present the ultimate relaxation experience and are complete with underfloor heating and hydromassage spa bathtubs!
Head down to the lounge bar and sit out on the sun-kissed terrace for unparalleled views. The authentic, stained wood, architectural structure and traditional regional dishes from the restaurant, are a fantastic combination for any evening. In the morning, a sumptuous full breakfast buffet fills the restaurant and boasts aromatic cups of coffee, warm mugs of herbal tea and freshly squeezed glasses of orange juice. To eat, sugar coated pastries, sticky sweet jams and slices of warm toast are piled high alongside platters of refreshing fruit, creamy bowls of yoghurt and stacks of honey jars.
Why not take a short two-minute walk over to the Cenit Cerdanya Sports & Health Centre; an impressive building housing many recreational facilities? From a sauna and steam room to a state-of-the-art gym and indoor heated pool, there are abundant ways to fill your day!
