In the small village of Fortià, located in the Alt Empordà and very close to Castelló d'Empúries and the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà, you can find very authentic holiday cottages and ideal tourist accommodation to enjoy this typical village of the Empordà plain. A fantastic municipality for a quiet rural getaway and for lovers of active tourism.

What can I do in Fortià and its holiday cottages?

Surrounded by agricultural fields and with the sea close by, we find the small town of Fortià. A municipality in the Alt Empordà close to Castelló d'Empúries and the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà ideal for a quiet and rural getaway.

The history of Fortià and its surroundings

Although it is known that Fortià was crossed by the Via Heraclea that linked Cádiz with Rome, its church is mentioned for the first time in 1150. Much of its architectural heritage dates from the modern era, from the 16th to XVIII and XIX, due to the great destruction caused by the flood of 1421 and the different wars that the Empordà suffered, from the War of the Reapers to the Carline wars. The town's long agricultural tradition is embodied in the old Escola de Fortianell farm, of neoclassical style and unique in Catalonia, which brought innovations that renewed agriculture.

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

Visit its old town and learn about its architectural heritage

Within the urban core of Fortià we find several vestiges of its past. Starting with the church of Sant Julià and Santa Basilissa, late Gothic style and built in the 15th and 16th centuries, after the floods of 1421 left the previous Romanesque building damaged. It is also worth seeing Casa Gran de Ferrer or Casa de la Reina Sibil·la, a large mansion built by the knight Pere Ignasi Ferrer, and Casa del Delme, from the 18th century.

Routes on foot or by mountain bike in the area

A good way to get to know the plains of Emporda is to take routes on foot or by mountain bike through Fortià and its surroundings, such as the Fortianell farm-school. Today it is a private farm, but the surroundings are worth seeing. Although you can also go to Castelló d'Empúries or discover the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà at the stroke of a pedal.

NataliaLa Balma - With the family

The house and facilities are top.

The only thing we didn't like about the stay was the amount of flies there were, not only outside but inside the house. At times it became really very annoying, both for the kids and adults, to live with so many flies.

Naturaki respond: Thank you, Natalia, for sharing your opinion. We are glad to know that you enjoyed your stay and that you liked the house. We take note of your comments about flies. After periods of rain it is common for their presence to increase in rural areas, and to prevent them from entering we recommend keeping windows and doors closed as much as possible. We also provide sprays and electric fly swatters for guests in the house. We appreciate your comments, which help us to keep improving.

StéphanieMas Espígol - With friends

What a beautiful vacation at Mas Espigol.

We had an exceptional stay in this house! From our arrival, we were charmed by the layout and decoration, which are absolutely beautiful. The place is spacious, perfectly adapted for our group of 12 people (7 adults and 5 children), each one found their space and comfort. The cleanliness of the place was impeccable, the pool was impeccably maintained and the air conditioning was well adjusted, which greatly contributed to our comfort. The environment is peaceful and pleasant, ideal for relaxing with family. A big thank you to the owner, who was available, generous and very pleasant. We all left — small and large — extremely satisfied. Everything positive!

OlivierCan Dalmau de Vila-Sacra - With the family

A very pleasant house to rest with the family.

Fabulous stay in this house. We liked everything, and even though it was very hot outside (37 degrees) inside the house it was very pleasant. The design, the layout of the rooms and areas, the decoration, everything is great. Only 2 negative points: - The birds don't stop shitting on the terrace so it's always dirty. We cleaned it every day in 2 min so it wasn't a very serious annoyance but it should be attempted to be solved. - The pool is quite dangerous because of the edges of the steps which are very square / sharp (I don't know how to describe it). We got quite strong blows. They should be rounder. Everything else was great.

Naturaki respond: Thank you, Olivier, for your review and for respecting the house rules. We are very pleased that the stay went well and that you liked the house. We take note of your comments for consideration. Thanks for the visit!

AlbertyCasa rural El Pi - With the family

Nice house, comfortable and very tidy

During our stay in early July 2025, we were able to enjoy all facets of this house. The house is very clean, everything you need is available, the garden, terrace and pool are cleaned every 2 to 3 days by a very attentive friendly man (owner?). Since I am familiar with Spanish, communication was good, but I don't know if he speaks another language. Towels were replaced weekly. The location is good, in Perelada (3 km) you can find everything you need. The only downside, if the summers continue as they are, is the temperature in the rooms is too warm and a fan is not sufficient. The nights are not cooling off anymore. Only this could deter us from booking again. A cooling on the upper floor would do wonders.
