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.

Enjoy the agricultural landscape of Emporda

LucioCan Fort - With the family

Outstanding comfort and functionality

In general, everything was correct and especially very comfortable that all rooms are on the same floor. The kitchen is very spacious and functional, but it needs a bit more light. As an aspect to improve, we had to fix a leg of the pool table with a piece of wood that we found in the main square of the village, and access to the washer/dryer and ping pong is a bit complicated for older people. Otherwise, very good. We didn't mind, but it wasn't clear to us whether the grassy area with volleyball net and goal was exclusive to the house or if the rural house next door also had access. Thanks.

Naturaki respond: Thank you very much for your evaluation and for sharing your experience, Lucio. We are glad to know that in general your stay was comfortable and that you enjoyed it. As for the billiards, thank you for letting us know. We have checked what happened and we have seen that the screw under one of the legs had come off. We have already ordered the corresponding replacement to fix it permanently. Regarding access to the washing/drying area and the ping-pong, it should be noted that Can Fort is not a house adapted for people with reduced mobility. When a house has this adaptation, we always indicate it on the house's file on the web and it can also be used with the specific filter to find adapted accommodations. In relation to the grass area with volleyball net and goal, it is an area of the house. This information is indicated in the description, in the photographs and in the section of house equipment and services on the web. In any case, during your stay we always provide a contact to resolve any doubts or incidents; if you had consulted us, we could have confirmed it and thus you could have also enjoyed this space. Thank you again for your comments and for having visited us.

ArturCan Pou de Les Olives - With the family

In good or bad weather, you will be comfortable at Can Pou de les Olives

Despite the weather not being on our side and not being able to enjoy the outdoors much, the house offers a spacious, warm and comfortable dining room and a games room that was a delight for both big and small kids. The rooms are beautiful and well equipped, all with a bathroom and fridge. The kitchen is amazing. It's equipped with everything necessary, worthy of the best master chef. The owner was kind and helped us with everything we needed. There are nearby paths to go for a walk and a park with swings and a court at the civic center next to the house.
