At Mas Torrencito, a pet-friendly rural house in Girona, we have spent years defending one very simple idea:
if you take care of dogs, people, and the environment, everything falls into place.
That’s why this post is not just about rural tourism in the Empordà.
It’s about decisions, investment, consistency… and how a traditional Catalan farmhouse in inland Girona is getting closer and closer to real energy self-sufficiency.
🐶 Truly pet-friendly (no marketing gimmicks)
Before talking about energy, you need to understand the context.
Mas Torrencito is a rural house where:
- Dogs are not “allowed”: they live here.
- They jump on the sofa, sleep on the bed, and run freely across the property.
- We change bedspreads, duvets, and textiles after every stay.
- We carry out deep cleaning specifically adapted to living with pets.
- We absorb costs many others avoid… because they are part of who we are.
This is not posturing.
It’s our way of understanding pet-friendly rural tourism in Girona.
☀️ The leap toward energy self-sufficiency
Some time ago, we decided to take another important step:
to reduce our energy dependence as much as possible and commit to a truly sustainable model.
Today, at Mas Torrencito, we operate with:
A Pramac GA 20000 gas generator as full backup
A professional three-phase electrical installation
Approximately 80 solar panels of 450 W (around 36 kWp installed)
40 kWh of BYD B-Box Premium battery storage
2 Fronius Symo GEN24 hybrid inverters
Industrial-scale aerothermal system
A Pramac GA 20000 gas generator as full backup
🔋 What does this energy investment achieve?
This is not just a technical matter.
- We operate much of the year practically at 100% on solar energy.
- The grid is support — not dependence.
- We cover high consumption needs: laundry, hot water production, climate control, and common areas.
- We gain stability against rising energy prices.
- We reduce environmental impact in a sensitive rural setting.
Sleeping in a sustainable rural house also means knowing where your energy comes from.
💰 The investment: more than €140,000 in real sustainability
Talking about sustainability without numbers is easy.
Making it real is not.
The total investment in our energy system exceeds €140,000, including:
- High-capacity photovoltaic installation
- Battery storage system
- Industrial aerothermal system
- Full backup generator
- Engineering, design, and complete execution
This is not a quick investment.
It is a long-term commitment designed to ensure the viability of the project and alignment with the environment.
🌱 Rural tourism with common sense in Girona
Running a rural house in inland Empordà means responsibility:
- Respecting the landscape
- Reducing environmental impact
- Optimizing energy consumption
- Offering comfort without mortgaging the future
Being pet-friendly also means thinking about tomorrow.
❤️ The true luxury in rural tourism
Luxury today is not about wasting energy.
It is being able to say:
- Here, dogs are family.
- Here, we produce much of the energy we consume.
- Here, we invest in consistency.
- Here, we protect the environment.
At Mas Torrencito, we continue improving.
Because the goal is clear:
👉 To approach 100% energy self-sufficiency without losing our soul.
And in pet-friendly rural tourism in Girona, that is not a trend.
It is a way of being in the world..
Es una forma de estar en el mundo.
