Rediscovering Country Life at Can Gual Agrotourism

Returning to one’s roots, reconnecting with the land, the vegetable garden, the animals… or simply resting and finding calm amidst nature. This is the offer at Can Gual Agrotourism, a farmhouse in L’Ametlla del Vallès that offers an escape into the authenticity of rural life, and with plenty of options to relax, enjoy, and learn as a family. All of this, of course, is rooted in a deep respect for the natural environment.

A Charming and Committed Accommodation

Tomàs and Montserrat are the hosts and owners of this historic farmhouse, which has been restored to accommodate three independent lodgings, complete with all the necessary comforts for a memorable experience. With stunning views of the countryside, Can Gual is ideal for couples, families, or groups of friends looking to enjoy a peaceful setting and a swimming pool surrounded by nature.

But what truly sets Can Gual apart is its essence: here, life is lived at a slower pace, the present is savoured, and a sustainable lifestyle is encouraged. As well as warmly welcoming their guests, Tomàs and Montserrat also share their passion for the land. With a commitment to preserving and reviving agricultural traditions, Can Gual offers experiences that bring both adults and children closer to rural life—discovering, for example, where our food comes from and how it is grown.

Farmer for a Day

As visitors, you can step into the shoes of a farmer, stroll through the vegetable garden, learn about traditional crops, and take part in harvesting seasonal fruits and vegetables. At the farm, you’ll enjoy meeting and feeding the animals while discovering the importance of respecting natural cycles. Later, you can taste the produce you’ve gathered, as the meals served are made with zero-kilometre ingredients from the farmhouse’s garden and fresh eggs from their hens.

As well as the grounds at Can Gual, the surrounding area will delight hiking and nature enthusiasts. Places like the Bertí cliffs, the Tenes River, Sant Miquel del Fai, and the Montseny Natural Park are just a few kilometres away, perfect for a day trip.

A Model for Responsible Tourism

The project at Can Gual goes beyond offering a pleasant stay—it champions a sustainable tourism model built on three basic pillars: environment, economy, and society. The farmhouse, which has been awarded the Barcelona Tourist Sustainability Commitment, promotes values such as responsible consumption, solidarity, and respect for tradition—a way of living and understanding the world that Tomàs and Montserrat are keen to share with their guests. Initiatives like installing photovoltaic panels, using organic products, and responsible waste management further underscore their commitment to environmental responsibility.

Can Gual Agrotourism is in short more than just accommodation—it’s an invitation to rediscover country life and an opportunity to live and learn in a more sustainable way.
