Photo of the Week: Girona, Spain

The Catalonian city of Girona, Spain.

This week's featured auction is a two-night stay in the Suite Principie Torre at Torre del Remei in Catalonia, Spain (a retail value of $2,256 ) for an opening bid of $565.

Hotel Torre del Remei is a unique establishment standing in the midst of an extensive private area. Shaded by sequoias and nestling in the Pyrenees amidst an 8-acre forest near the Cadi National Park, this magnificent summer palace has been transformed into an elegant hotel.

From the Harper Collection: "Stylish and relaxing manor house-hotel set amid parklike grounds and backdropped by the lofty Pyrenees, 30 minutes east of Seu d'Urgell. Stately Belle Epoque façade gives way to a rotunda lounge and 11 accommodations (mostly suites) enhanced by rich fabrics, custom furnishings, fireplaces and whirlpool baths. An intimate coffered dining room serves superb regional cuisine prepared by affable husband and wife chef-owner team. This is a good base for sightseeing by car or on foot with a veteran mountain guide; also on-premise garden pool, gym and massage studio."
