A few essentials personally recommended by Casa Pardal’s hosts to help you settle in with ease.
Rural Catalonia can surprise you with cooler evenings, even in warmer seasons. A cozy sweater or fleece helps you stay comfortable while reading, cooking, or relaxing outside.
Warm Clothes like Women's Fleece Lined Thermal Underwear
The mountain paths around Casa Pardal are breathtaking but uneven. A sturdy pair of hiking boots gives you better balance, safer footing, and makes long walks far more enjoyable.
Trekking Shoes like Columbia Women's Newton Ridge Plus Waterproof Boot
A cozy board game or conversation deck is the easiest way to turn a quiet evening into connection. Bring something that invites presence, laughter, or gentle reflection, because it fits the Casa Pardal rhythm beautifully.

Casa Pardal has a way of slowing you down just enough to notice the small details…light, texture, the shifting colors of the sky. A simple watercolor set or sketching kit helps you capture those moments as they arrive.

The sunsets here are something special glowing, full of color, and unexpectedly moving. Bring whatever camera you love, whether it’s a DSLR or your favorite compact, and let yourself collect the colors as they change.
Camera to Catch the Sunsets
There’s something grounding about having one good book to sink into while you’re here. Choose a story you’ve been meaning to read… the kind you savor slowly, page by page, as the stillness of the house settles around you.
A Long Book for Slow Living, like The Midnight Library
Bring one recipe you love, Casa Pardal has a beautiful kitchen, and sharing meals is part of the slow-living rhythm here.
