The historic stone hotel has been refurbished with luxury and ecology in mind, with 17 bedrooms, all with their own private bathroom. Three of the rooms are suites with a sitting area. There are six new garden suites with an exterior BBQ kitchen area. Many guests are surprised to hear that Mas Pelegri is off-grid and has no connection to the municipal systems for electricity, water, and sewage. This small boutique hotel is equipped with PV electric solar panels. None of the sun’s energy is wasted. There is a large AC unit in the main building, and smaller AC units in the new garden suites, to keep the bedrooms comfortable (25°C indoor temps on average). In-season fruit and vegetables that are grown within the local area are featured and the hotel is committed to working with locals. They employ a local gardening company, local electricians, etc, and work with local activity companies, supporting a responsible rural economy.
