Spanish term or phrase: en el entorno de

Hi all,

I'm having trouble with the above.

The whole sentence is "una casa de turismo rural en el entorno del Montseny"

(The Montseny is a natural park in Spain)

Does "surrounds" or "surrounding area" sound correct here? Or are there any better-sounding offers?

Thanks very much in advance for your help!
