The history of Sant Jaume de Llierca and its surroundings

Sant Jaume de Llierca is mentioned for the first time in the middle of the 10th century. The church of Sant Jaume, on the other hand, is documented in 1169. In 1463, under the reign of King John II, the town of Sant Jaume de Llierca became part of the crown as a parish. In the middle of the 19th century, the textile factory La Brutau was built, which gave an economic boost to the municipality.

What to do during your stay at a tourist accommodation in Sant Jaume de Llierca

It is also worth walking a little to the outskirts to see the chimney and channel of the old La Brutau factory , closed in 1973.

Beautiful house in a great natural location

We spent a week in this large and beautiful house, decorated with great taste both outside and inside. Comfortable rooms and beds. A large kitchen with plenty of storage space and utensils. Gorgeous views from the pool and outdoor area, with a fantastic covered terrace.

Two weeks at Ca l'Hortalà, a perfect base for exploring Girona and beyond

We arrived at Ca l'Hortalà on the 17th of July and stayed for two full weeks, which turned out to be exactly the right amount of time to properly explore the region. The house itself is modern, spacious, and spotless, and having the small heated pool right there made all the difference in the July heat. We also made good use of the community swimming pool in the village, which was a nice way to cool off and get a bit of local flavor alongside the residents. Tortellà itself is small but has everything you actually need day to day. The local supermarket isn't big, but it covers the essentials without a hassle, so we didn't need to drive to a bigger town for basics. There are also a couple of good local bars in the village for a relaxed evening drink or a bite to eat, nothing fancy, but exactly the kind of authentic, low key atmosphere you want on a countryside stay. Its location in La Garrotxa made it an ideal base for day trips. We explored Figueres, Girona, and Besalú by car, all easy drives, and for Barcelona we took the train from Figueres, which was a relaxed and easy way to spend the day in the city without worrying about parking or traffic. Besalú in particular was a highlight, with its medieval bridge and old town feeling like stepping back in time, while Girona's cathedral and old quarter were well worth the wander. Figueres was a fun stop too, especially for anyone interested in Dalí. Coming back each evening to a quiet, comfortable house with the pool, the village bars, and everything within easy reach was the perfect way to end the day. Two weeks felt like enough time to properly settle in rather than rush from place to place, and the house and village together made that kind of relaxed pace easy. Highly recommend Ca l'Hortalà for anyone looking to use Tortellà as a base to explore Girona province. Barcelona is an easy train trip from Figueres if you'd rather skip the drive.

Guaranteed disconnection at a great house

The house is great. The water was a bit murky but they came to do maintenance soon. A bit far from Barcelona but the place is great and very quiet. Good option to disconnect.

Naturaki respond: We are very pleased to know that you liked the house and that the place allowed you to disconnect. We hope to have you back very soon!

A peaceful haven in a beautiful location

Carla and her family have created such a beautiful space. The location is stunning, with amazing views to enjoy with your morning coffee or evening meal. The house is gorgeous, spacious, well equipped, and clean. We had the most relaxing week away from the noise of life, and Carla and her family were so kind and welcoming. They even brought us fresh eggs from their chickens, lettuce from the garden patch, and our 2 year old got to cuddle their new litter of puppies. We made some lifelong memories here teaching our daughter to swim in the pool too. Perfection.

'Unforgettable weekend in a quiet house'

Beautiful house, very well equipped (it has everything) and in a very quiet area. We spent most of the time at the impressive garden table and the pool. The barbecue was great. An unforgettable weekend.

Discovering Garrotxa with family

The house is very comfortable and well equipped and we have enjoyed the tranquility that is breathed there. Carla and her family have been very kind and willing to make our stay very pleasant. It has been a stay with the family to get to know the Garrotxa and we have been left wanting to return as it is full of places to do small excursions on foot or by bicycle.
