If you weren’t quick enough to get a free castle from Italy, there’s still a way you can live out your own medieval fairytale. Right in the center of Ripollès, Spain, between rivers, valleys and mountains stands a majestic ancient castle called Llaés. The unique place is exceptionally beautiful, offering absolute tranquility amidst lush nature for €381 ($413.25) a night. And if you gather a crew that fills its 16 beds, the price comes down to €23.81 ($25.83).

Yes, there’s also a €59.5 ($64.53) but split it and you’ve got yourself a bed in an authentic 10th-century castle for under €28 or $30. But the host of the property, Marc, offers 25% off if you stay for a week and a 50% discount if you book it for a whole month.

The castle is available to rent throughout the whole year.

Home to the castle, Ripollès is the comarca (county) where the Gironese part of the Pyrenees mountains are located. The Puigmal peak is the highest part of the range, standing at 2,913 meters (9,557 feet).

According to Metropolitan Barcelona, the natural beauty of Ripollès is enhanced by other Romanesque churches and castles spread all over the region. These architectural treasures were mostly constructed between the 10th and 12th centuries. This was just after the Count of Barcelona, Wilfred the Hairy, made huge efforts to increase the Catalan population in the area in the ninth century.

    If you do choose to stay at the Llaés castle, you can get a better understanding of Romanesque buildings by visiting the monasteries of Santa Maria in Ripoll (the comarca’s capital), Sant Joan de les Abadesses and Sant Pere in the town of Camprodon. Of course, as mentioned before, there are many smaller examples to be explored as well.

    But Ripollès is known for more than its landscape and architecture. The region has a rich industrial history, and its efforts accelerated the development of Catalunya in general. People have been mining iron and coal for centuries there, as well as undertaking other metalwork, papermaking, and other endeavors.

    Friends of ours rented a walled town in Italy for their wedding last summer. It was very similar to this and everyone had a lovely time. The groom paid for everyone's stay (there were 60 people), and covered air fare for some of the relatives, and said the wedding was cheaper than some of the options they considered in the States.
