King of the Castle

Built in the 10th century, this Medieval castle overlooks the tiny Catalan village of Laes, plus rolling mountains, valleys, and rivers. With a capacity of 16 guests and Barcelona just an hour away, the cost is eminently reasonable, especially considering how every entryway, ceiling, floor and garden echoes with a thousand years of history. “Our stay was magical,” says one guest. “Words cannot begin to describe,” says another.
