It is also possible to hire a chef to prepare a delicious dinner. Our kitchen is large and fully equipped and there are plenty of seats in the dining room and on the terrace. We are happy to share our recommendations for chefs.
Neighbors
Can Riera has 2 direct neighbors, but due to the layout and location of the house, there is a lot of privacy and the neighbors rarely suffer from noise pollution and vice versa. However, we do ask our guests not to make noise outside after 22:00. The house is very well insulated due to its thick walls, so more noise can be produced inside after 22:00.
Late departure
Outside the high season, it is often possible to leave later on Sunday than the standard departure time of 11:00. In that case, you can use the house until the afternoon. If you want to use this, please contact us to discuss and plan a later departure.
