Les Nenas B&B
Jafre
Las Nenas B&B is a cozy private bed and breakfast
located in the small medieval town of Jafre, one of the
many medieval towns that dot the province of Girona in
northeast Catalunya, Spain near the Costa Brava. The small
town is surrounded by fields and forests, perfect for
rambling, close to all the resorts, yet tranquil. The house
itself is a typical casa de poble --house in the town--
dating back to the early 18th century, yet recently
restored.
The house features 3 double non-smoking rooms to rent:
• Núria is a shady double room with trees and birds to lull
you to rest.
• Maria Juanita is a large double room with a window
overlooking the patio garden, the scent of the rose arbor
floating in as you take a break in your private seating
area.
• Laura is a bright and colorful double room with a view
over the Ter river valley.
Room rates are 50
€
per night per room with shared bathroom or 70
€
for ensuite room and include breakfast.
The 3 rooms share 2 baths. Guests are free to use the 2
salons, the dining room and a large, sunny garden.
Breakfast is continental featuring local sausages and
cheeses, as well as coffee, tea, cereals, yogurt, pastries
and fruit. Breakfast is served between 8:30am and 10:30am,
checkout time is noon, and check-in time is 5pm to 7pm. If
you wish to breakfast or arrive at a different time, please
notify the innkeepers so they can be available to help you.
There are 2 sweet dogs and a lap loving cat, to keep you
company if you wish.
Las Nenas is located in the town of Jafre, in the golden
triangle of northeastern Catalunya. Nestled between the sea
and the mountains, Jafre is a perfect central location to
base your exploration of this beautiful rural area.
Around
the town are extensive biking trails, as well as local and
regional hiking trails. By car, you are only minutes away
from the beaches, the scuba and boat tours of the Islas
Medes. Thirty minutes to the north are the attractions of
Cap de Creus, with the lovely town of Cadaqués, and the
ancient monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes.
Jafre is also in
the center of the Dalí triangle, which comprises the museum
created by Dalí in Figueres, his home in Port Lligat, and
the home he designed for his wife Gala in the castle of
Púbol.
Your hosts and cookery!!!!
Katy Ross and Martha Kroncke --Las Nenas--
started working in kitchens in the United States at tender
ages. Because of this background, they incorporate the
culinary arts into the daily life of the inn. After
travelling extensively, they chose the small town of Jafre,
Girona-Catalunya, as the perfect place to begin a new
venue.
From their Bed & Breakfast they offer cooking
classes, and wine and olive oil tastings. Their collective
experience of over 40 years includes years of teaching at
the California Culinary Academy and stints at various high
profile restaurants in San Francisco: Chez Panisse, China
Moon, One Market, Vertigo, and Venezia.
Cooking Classes
Often there are informal barbecues on the terrace with
groups observing and learning as they cook. Las Nenas teach
many styles of cooking. Catalan and Spanish dishes, such as
paella, will be interesting for those exploring the area.
For the adventurous, there are also classes in Asian
cuisines and Latin cuisines. Guests then eat on the patio
in good weather or in the dining room if too hot or cold.
The classes begin at 6 or 6:30 pm in the evening. The
ideal number of students is 2-4 adults. The class then
prepares dinner to the specifications of their menu.
Classes for the students are 40
€
each, guests of the ‘cooks’ will be 15
€
per person. Les Nenas need confirmation of numbers and menu
for the class the day before, so that they can prepare.
Meals
Dinners are available with prior notice and include 4
courses, wine and water, for 18 – 20+
€
per person, depending on wine selection and menu. We start
with a pica-pica (traditional Spanish nibbles), appetizer,
entrée, dessert and then coffee and an after dinner drink.
You can request any type of cuisine or type of food.
Special dietary needs such as vegetarian, macrobiotic,
seafood only, or international dishes can be met. However,
with this there may be an additional surcharge
