Andorra is broken up into areas called parishes and Canillo is the main town of the area of the same name, the most northerly of the seven. The town has a population of just over four and a half thousand and really the main interest it holds for the visitor is the skiing. Even so, there are many Canillo holiday lets available and the quiet pace of life compared to some of the larger ski resorts makes it a good choice for families.

The town is still very medieval in appearance; many of the old buildings are now holiday rentals of some kind. Canillo serviced rentals are among some of the most stylish in Andorra and if you are keen on old architecture it is possible that you will have to go no further than your own front door.

Canillo has some spectacular scenery, with the river Montau running right through the town. In the winter, when most Canillo serviced apartments come into their own, the beautiful church, which has one of the largest belltowers in Andorra, is surrounded by snow and looks very striking, with its solid medieval walls rising high above the river. The church is dedicated to St Serni and the Baroque altar piece is well worth a visit.

The bars and restaurants which surround Canillo aparthotels are all quite simple and they serve mostly Catalan food. Crema catalana is a special dessert, somewhat similar to crème brulee, but flavoured with cinnamon and lemon – served warm it is just the job after a cold afternoon on the piste.

Canillo holiday apartments are a good way to enjoy this peaceful little town, as you can take life at your own pace. Some of the hotels in the town have spas and pools which are open to non-residents, so you can still enjoy the luxury of some of the treatments so popular throughout Andorra. After a hard day skiing, walking or sightseeing, a thermal treatment will really hit the spot.

Canillo short stay apartments are a good way to see this beautiful medieval town; a day is sometimes not enough to soak up the atmosphere and so it is nice to be able to stay a little longer to enjoy the peace and quiet without using up the whole holiday. There are resorts of all kinds in Andorra and for such a small town, Canillo has a lot to recommend it.
