One Family's Vacation Home is Another's Hospes Villa Paulita

t seems hard to believe that the new Hospes Villa Paulita on Lake Puigcerda near the Pyrenees mountains in Spain was once simply a family's summer holiday home--style and splendor of this kind is not what we think of when we picture a summer shack by the lake. Now a designer resort, three buildings (one from the nineteenth century, two newer) include 34 rooms and 4 suites, each individually decorated with highlights including stained glass windows, wood beamed ceilings and even antiques that were inherited from that rich family.

The new owners have also added the Bodyna Spa, which includes a pool, fitness center and wet and dry saunas. After you've worked up an appetite here you can dine in Senzone L'Estany, the on site gourmet restaurant. Unfortunately online bookings and room rates are not available yet, but you can't expect a lakeside resort with a view of the mountains to come too cheaply.
