Who did not dream of having a tree house as a child? Surely, most of us wanted or tried, with a lot of imagination, to build something like a cabin. Today that dream can come true. In the town of Sant Hilari Sacalm in Girona, there is the first hotel in Spain with rooms hanging from centenary trees. Access to them is through walkways that hang between the trees, at a height of 7 meters.
Upon arrival, each guest receives a series of instructions for the use of the facilities, in addition to providing a headlamp (there is no light, no running water). Each room has an area of 30 m2 and is equipped with a double bed, sofa, space for the toilet, toilet and closet. They also have a 10 m2 terrace, from where the first view is the treetops.
The toilet is equipped with a bucket inside which is a biodegradable bag with sawdust. This bag, once used, is recycled for composting and thus follows its natural cycle. The great advantage of this entire process is that no water is used, nor is gray water treated, thus fulfilling the objective of raising awareness about the environment and sustainability .
Another curiosity is the breakfast , which is served in a basket, and is brought up to the room by means of a pulley. For reasons of organization and layout of the complex, complementary services such as showers, toilets, living room, dining room, swimming pool and garden, are located in the farmhouse that is a few meters from the cabins .
There are no restrictions to access the rooms , as long as the physical conditions are normal. The exception is children under 10 years of age, if they are going to use the highest cabins. It is definitely the ideal place to disconnect from the madding crowd and be in tune with nature.
