What to do during your stay at a tourist accommodation in Arenys d'Empordà

Visit and learn about its architectural heritage

If you're staying in a holiday cottage in Arenys d'Empordà, you can't miss the Romanesque church of Sant Sadurní which, during the 17th and 18th centuries, was integrated into the castle's defenses. The walls of the church, in fact, still preserve remains of the old fortification. In addition, in 1944 the temple was decorated by a group of artists from Emporda. Another must-see is, without a doubt, the medieval castle, currently attached to the church. It is a building essentially from the 16th-17th centuries built on top of the medieval fortified palace which, during the Middle Ages, belonged to the Lords of Palol, also lords of Vilopriu Castle. You also can't miss the modernist tower Casa Francès, from 1877, where the writer José Francés and the dancer Àurea de Sarrà lived and died.

Fabulous House Stay - Already Planning Our Return!

We had a truly fantastic holiday at Can Costa. There were five of us in total, including three energetic boys under 11, and the villa was absolutely perfect for our needs. The house is huge and could easily accommodate an extended family gathering, which we’re already planning for next year. The pool area was a real highlight. The depth was ideal for the kids to play safely, and we spent countless hours enjoying the sun and water. The outdoor kitchen was a brilliant bonus, making it easy and fun to prepare meals and eat outside together. Inside, the villa was spotless and had everything we needed. The fans and air conditioning throughout the house made a big difference during the warmer days. The foosball table was loved by everyone and added a great bit of entertainment. The top floor became our movie zone in the evenings, with a huge comfy sofa and a TV with Netflix and Disney+, which was perfect for relaxing after a day in the sun. We also explored the local area and took a lovely trip to the beach, which was only about 20 minutes away. The host was always just a phone call away and incredibly helpful with recommending places to visit and providing any information we needed during our stay. We’ll definitely be back and have already started recommending Can Costa to friends. It was a wonderful, relaxing stay in a beautiful part of the world.

Great stay in a very well suited farmhouse

The photographs of the farmhouse already captivated us. House very well acclimatized, decorated with great taste and with all facilities close by and very easy access. Very good treatment from Montserrat, whom I want to congratulate for deciding to keep the house and share it with people.

SoniaLa Blauet - With friends

Magnificent location and very friendly treatment

It's the third year we go there. The house is in a magnificent location and the owner's treatment is excellent. There's no noise, only the birds in the morning. As a point to improve, the mattresses and pillows should be renewed, as well as some cooking utensil.

Naturaki respond: Thank you very much for sharing your opinion and trusting us for another year, Sonia. We are pleased to know that you value positively the location and the treatment received, as well as the cleanliness and general comfort of the house. We take note of your comments about mattresses, pillows and kitchen utensils. They help us to continue improving to offer an even more comfortable stay. We are working to renew these elements very soon. Greetings, Pere.

A true haven of peace in the heart of nature, we will return with pleasure!

We had an excellent family weekend in this house, it is not only very beautiful, but also extremely well thought out and perfectly maintained. The cleanliness was impeccable, the kitchen deserves a special mention: incredibly well equipped, it has everything you need to cook like at home, or even better: large fridge, oven, hob, dishwasher, coffee machine, toaster... not to mention enough dishes and quality utensils, including real knives that cut! It's a real pleasure to prepare meals there. The garden and pool are also very enjoyable, well maintained, and provide an ideal setting for relaxation. The house is surrounded by nature, which makes it particularly peaceful. We even had the chance to see deer in the field right in front, at the end of the day - a magical moment. Yet another wonderful experience with Naturaki. This house was a real haven of peace in the heart of nature, and we will gladly return!
