Ashiyana Spain

Welcome to Ashiyana Spain

Back in the 1950’s, the Ter river was dammed to create the Sau reservoir, which now provides water for the three million inhabitants of Barcelona. Our quiet sanctuary is located next to this stunning reservoir, in a national park rich with oak, pine, and poplar trees, and wild boar, deer and foxes. This area of Catalunya is famous for its dramatic mountains, waterfalls and endless, rolling, wooded hills. Just 1 hour 20 mins from Barcelona airport, and 45 mins from Girona airport, our tranquil haven is set within farmland and forests.

Every imaginable sport and adventure activity is on our doorstep including - swimming, kayaking, trekking, cycling, climbing, and ballooning. Given that the former Hotel, ‘La Riba’, was owned and run by a farming family, we also benefit from having a lot of our food grown around us and locally. 25 mins away, the local town, Vic, is famous for its history, with a magnificent Roman temple, ancient town centre, many churches, food industry and wonderful gastronomy, a medieval market, leather industry, and the famous Museo de Arte Medieval, one of the most important Roman & Gothic museums in EU.

We are delighted to welcome you here to our newest Ashiyana retreat :)

Accommodation

A room for every taste

10 double bedrooms, one single, and two beautiful suites give us accommodation for up to 25 guests in the main building, and we have additional accommodation in a couple of villas nearby.

The main accommodation is within the old hotel, dating back to the 1960’s, Around the high ceiling’d reception area and living rooms you can see a marvellous visual history of the Sau reservoir and how it flooded the tiny village of Sao Roma de Sau, forcing the family to move higher up the hillside and build Hotel La Riba. The old church is still visible, with its spire protruding out of the water, creating the iconic image of the area.
