Ca la Carolina accommodation is a tribute to Grandma Carolina, who lived in this 18th century house of traditional and simple construction in the old town of Rabós d'Empordà. In this rural house with its own personality you will find all the comforts for a pleasant stay in Empordà, an area of natural landscapes, Costa Brava beaches, vineyards, olive groves and medieval villages.  

Initially reformed in the 1990s, it was in 2022 that it was completely rehabilitated by the Altura architecture studio (https://altura.ad/ca/) and the Lacol cooperative (https://www.lacol.coop/). The intervention allowed to gain space and natural light, to introduce environmental and sustainability criteria and to enjoy better views of the Empordà. 

Inside the accommodation, the local ceramics of La Bisbal d’Empordà from the ground and the walls contrast with the original walls painted white, giving colour and light but preserving their textures. On the outside, the original pale pink colour has been recovered and matches with the vibrant yellow of the ceramic. 

For the reform, criteria of proximity in materials, promotion of the local economy and low environmental impact have been taken into account. More details at https://altura.ad/en/project/cal-carolina/
