What can I do in Albons and its holiday cottages?

Do you want to discover a charming town and spend a most peaceful stay near the Costa Brava? Towards Albons, a small town in the Baix Empordà, there are no people!

The history of Albons and its surroundings

It is known that the castle of Albons, which currently, and the result of the renovations, looks similar to that of a 15th century farmhouse, was part of the county of Empúries, but was in the possession of the lords of Torroella. Although after the Catalan Civil War, in 1462, the castle returned to the county of Empúries. The name of the town, by the way, comes from the Latin alburnos , which meant a place of inn or residence. And Albons was precisely the place of refuge for the count of Rosselló during the twelfth century.

What to do during your stay at a tourist accommodation in Albons

Get to know its artistic and architectural heritage

If you stay in a holiday cottage in Albons, you can't miss, above all, the parish church of Sant Cugat , a Romanesque construction from the 10th-13th centuries built in two phases, the chapel of Sant Grau, an 11th-century church surrounded by pines and oaks and, finally, Albons Castle , a 13th century fortification with visible Renaissance elements. It is also worth walking around the village and discovering the medieval remains of the old town.

Walk around the village

If you want to go for a nice walk or practice cycling, we recommend you visit the Valldavià mountain range, where the hermitage of Sant Grau is located. From where, by the way, you will have a mind-blowing panorama of the Empordà plain. The views are a constant in Albons, as the town constitutes a natural border between the plain of Empúries and the interior hills and valleys.

A large and beautiful house for a family holiday

Our family of ten stayed here for one week and we had a lovely time. The paella pan was very useful and the BBQ as well as we had lovely weather to cook outside. There is a great restaurant a short walk from the house.

XavierCa la Xana - With the family

The house is fine, but it lacks parking.

We would have liked to be able to park inside. Another point is that from the photos, the garden seemed bigger, since, with the pool being covered, it takes up a lot of space in the garden.

Naturaki respond: Thank you for leaving your opinion, Xavier. We are glad to know that you liked the house. On the web, we detail both in the equipment and services section and the plans that the house does not have parking, but there is a free parking area right in front. The size of the outdoor pool, 8x4 m, the garden of 450 m² and the terrace of 20 m², are also specified, so that the available space can be accurately assessed before booking. Thank you for the visit and for sharing your experience.

NarcisCan Tona - With the family

All very well! Some fantastic days to recharge energy.

The truth is that we have done very little apart from enjoying the garden and nature... we have cooked, rested, read and had a swim in the pool. Sometimes the simplest things are the best! Excellent attention at all times from Natàlia and her family, many thanks!! Just as a minor detail, I would tune up the kitchen utensils, the rest is very good. Until next time.

House with perfect location to explore the area.

Large country house and, in general, well equipped for a large family. Some aspects to improve: Have air conditioning on the top floor. Install mosquito nets.

Everything is thought out to feel good!

The house is very large and everything has been thought out to feel good there. All the rooms are spacious and equipped with a ceiling fan or air conditioning and the bedding and pillows are memory foam. The dome of the pool does not open completely but the water is refreshing. Initially, we feared the noise of the train passing by, but it did not bother us. Naturaki and the owner of the house are very responsive. I recommend CA LA XANA.

SteveCa l'avi Pere - With the family

Wonderful place for a family holiday!

This house met all of our expectations and was just a short drive from Girona airport. We had a lovely warm welcome from Montse, the owner, who met us and told us all about the house. She also gave us excellent recommendations for places to eat, visit etc. The saltwater pool was perfect for our 2 grandchildren and there were toys in the house for them to play with. The village has a little shop and an excellent butcher, and the craft beer/ tapas bar was great! We spent a wonderful week enjoying the house and pool and exploring the local area.
