Resident’s Welcome Guide

You can easily find us on Google Maps by searching “Can Silvestre, Riudarenes.” The last kilometer is a gravel road, accessible by any type of car. Keep an eye out for a wooden sign that says “Can Silvestre” hanging from a tree—that’s when you’ll know you’ve arrived. Residents can use our bikes to visit the village or explore the countryside.

If traveling by public transport, take the R11 train from Barcelona or Girona to Sils Station. For international arrivals, fly into Barcelona Airport and either take the Sagalés bus to Girona or the R2 train to Sants Station, then the R11 train to Sils. We offer a shuttle service: €10 from Sils station, €20 from Girona airport, or €30 from Girona station.

If you need to reach us, Ester is available at +34 682 033 243. Please note that we normally don’t have mobile service at the house, but you can reach us easily via WhatsApp, as we always have Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi network is CanSilvestre and the password is cansilvestre2025, so you can get connected right away.

Your room comes with fresh bed linen and towels on arrival, and we provide room service every Monday morning. The shared bathroom is equipped with basic toiletries and a hair dryer, so you’ll have everything you need for a comfortable stay. Room check-in is available between 2 PM and 9 PM, and check-out is before 10 AM.

We offer half board from Monday to Friday: breakfast around 8:30a and communal dinners around 7:30p. Extra food is available for simple lunches, and the kitchen is stocked with bread, fruit, vegetables, and other essentials. All meals are ovo-lacto-vegetarian — please inform us of any allergies or intolerances in advance.

Residents can purchase and source materials from nearby providers. Bisbal Ceram offers a wide range of ceramics supplies, while L’Artística provides general art materials and tools. Orders can be placed directly with these suppliers and shipped to our address at Can Silvestre. We recommend ordering materials in advance to have them ready upon arrival.
