We found this casa rural by chance. Its location just outside the town, but within easy walking distance, was perfect for our two nights' stay. Nobody was at home when we arrived, but the farmer called the owners who arrived within 5 minutes. We received a friendly, warm reception and were given a choice of rooms - we asked to look around, as we needed the one with the firmest mattress. We chose the fuller Breakfast, which was a massive typical regional "farmhouse" breakfast - desayuno completo : fruit juice, coffee, thick toast for rubbing garlic and fresh tomato onto (not very sociable but very yummy), meats, cheeses, croissants, jam, and fresh fruit. The "mama" of the casa was always friendly and helpful. It was very quiet at night; you could not hear the other guests as the bedroom walls are very thick. During the day, there was farm noise & farm smell - to be expected, as it was a working farm. The views all around the casa rural were superb. The town of La Seu d'Urgell retains a lot of the old character and it was very atmospheric at night, walking through the narrow dimly lit streets. Upon departure from the Casa Rural, we received a warm hug and a bar of soap with the bill, because I had mentioned how much I loved their soap. Having some Spanish made communication easier. We would happily stay here again.
