As far as accommodation goes, you could not have a better base for a luxury big-group cycling week than Masia La Bisbal.

The bedrooms are all big and beautiful and have great big beds and spacious super-chic private bathrooms. The living spaces are comfortable and airy. Outdoors is well appointed. The kitchen is VAST and gorgeous. This is like the Best of Architectural Digest personified.

And for cyclists (and even their light cycling companions) location counts and the location here is A1. A) you are at the epicenter of some of the best rides in the region. Els Angels route to Girona starts just up the road. Turn Right, it's the start of scenic, sinuous route to the coast. B) There is a paved road right to the gate (a rarity in many parts of Europe) which makes the starts and ends of your daily rides a breeze. C) You are steps to town (albeit a small one with limited services) but you are only 5, 10 and 23 minutes by car, bike or foot, respectively, from la Bisbal, the larger, full service town in this area.
