Hotel Vall Amagada del Molí, Sant Esteve de Llemena

The cycle friendly Hotel Vall Amagada del Molí is a rural luxury boutique hotel tucked into the Llémena Valley in La Garrotxa, just outside Girona. Set in a beautifully restored watermill in the countryside of Sant Esteve de Llémena, the property combines unspoiled Catalan nature with warm, attentive hospitality, offering a hidden valley retreat for travellers seeking both relaxation and adventure.

The hotel features 15 elegant rooms, a fusion-style restaurant, a pool, a gym, and a panoramic terrace overlooking the valley. Guests can unwind on the pétanque court, while cyclists are especially well catered for through a complete cycling setup inspired by the region’s world-famous riding culture.

Vall Amagada offers 22 premium rental bikes, including high-end road and gravel models from Cervélo, alongside secure indoor bike storage, a professional cleaning station, and a fully equipped bike workshop that serves as both a service hub and social meeting point for riders. Guests can rent helmets and cycling computers, choose their preferred pedal setup, browse cycling apparel from Girona-based brand Tactic, or simply enjoy what the team jokingly calls “the best coffee in town” before heading out into the mountains.

To make longer cycling stays effortless, the hotel also provides a free self-service laundry room for cycling clothing and sportswear, as well as vending machines stocked with snacks, drinks, and ride essentials.

Built around the rhythms of the surrounding landscape, Vall Amagada offers direct access to exceptional cycling routes, hiking trails, and mountain walks. Whether guests come for smooth road climbs, remote gravel adventures, or a quiet countryside escape, the hotel is designed as a refined, restorative year-round base for active travellers in one of Catalonia’s most beautiful hidden valleys.
