  Every morning we have it clear

  We start the day well

  Some people say that the breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day. In Can Massot, every morning, we have it clear.
  
  Depending on the season you will find some products or others, but you can always try local. Besides the homemade confitures of our fruits and wild fruits, you expect fresh cakes or pastries. Thus, you will also find the honey from our fields, the artisan bread, the seasonal fruits and vegetables, brunyols of l'Empordà, the olive oil from our olives or the almonds "garapinyadas" from the almond trees ofthe garden.
  
  Why important things can not be simple?

  Happy Diada

  Can Massot gives you this rose

  We want to celebrate one of the most beautiful days of the year with you. Because every year, for these dates, some symbols of esteem appear next to the house to invite us to give love. Going back to the 15th century, the roses appear in all the homes in Catalonia for the beautiful festival of Sant Jordi that for almost a century has also incorporated the literary element with the gift of words printed on pages in the form of a book. 
  That is why Can Massot, it cannot be otherwise, wishes you a happy Sant Jordi and invites you to celebrate it with your loved ones.
  
  Happy Diada!

  The flowers

  The beauty of the spring

  The lily is one of the jewels of our garden. Both the fields and the exteriors of the house are impregnated with the smell and the colors of the spring. See more photos.
  
  In our village of Darnius every year for these dates we celebrate the contest of wildflowers, a historical event in the area and a beautiful moment to honour the gifts that the forest gives to us during this period of the year.

  Dear bloggers,
  
  We started this blog with the aim of sharing the experiences we have and have had in Can Massot, Darnius.
  
  This summer, on 2 August 2017, we celebrated our anniversary. 18 years ago we started our long-awaited project to open our Bed&Breakfast. After 18 months of hard working, we already wanted to open it. It was an important project but we were very excited about it, we had some good people that made, day by day, our project possible. The entire family helped us as much as they could: my parents, my parents-in-law, my brother, my brother-in-law, and even our two kids who were so young and asked us: we also want to do it, what can we do it?
  
  I helped as much as I could the construction workers and I also restored all the furniture, I was very gratified because it was the furniture of our families, both of them, my husband's family, and my family. First, I enroled to a restoration course to learn more about how to do so and then, I had just to apply it. We had to use soda - it was incredible to see, I had the garden plenty of beds, wardrobes, tables, bedheads, etc., I'm sorry I do not have pictures from that day. It was very nice to try what bedhead I liked most in each room and so with all the furniture, but how beautiful it is when you see that you already have the whole house ready for the tourist inspector to came and give us the official certification "RESIDENCIA CASA DE PAGÈS of the MASIA PG-00169". I still remember that moment as if it was today.
  
  It was a very happy day, the arrival of our first guests, they were a lovely family, Yago and Maite, their son and two twin children... The years have passed, we have known many more families and we have made very good friends, so much, that there are already considered as part of our family.
  
  I will soon explain more about the village and what we do and have done in Can Massot.
  
  See you soon!
  
  Roser
