What can I do in Sant Martí Vell and its holiday cottages?

North of Gavarres, near a small valley, we find the municipality of Sant Martí Vell. A small rural town crossed by the Rissec river and the Sant Martí stream, ideal for enjoying a few days of disconnection and nature.

The history of Sant Martí Vell and its surroundings

In the 10th century, during the time of the Christian reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula, Sant Martí Vell was founded as a fortified population center. The town grew up around a Romanesque church dedicated to Sant Martí de Tours, which dates from the 11th century and is still preserved today as one of the town's main historical monuments. During the Middle Ages, Sant Martí Vell was an important agricultural and commercial center in the region, with an economy based on agriculture, livestock and artisanal production. The presence of the church and a fortified castle indicates the strategic importance of the town in those times.

What to do during your stay at a Sant Martí Vell tourist accommodation?

Get to know its architectural heritage

If you spend a few days in Sant Martí Vell, you cannot miss the following must-sees: At the entrance, the church, a Romanesque temple restored in the 16th century. It contains late Gothic elements and a Renaissance-style frontispiece. The center of the village is formed around the church, with cobbled streets and a medieval air. A fantastic town for those looking to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the city. Incidentally, the sanctuary of Mare de Déu dels Àngels , one of the most visited and best-known centers of worship in the Girona regions, depends on the church.

Hiking through Sant Martí Vell

If what you want is to go on a good excursion, climb up to the Sanctuary of the Angels ! It is located at the top of Puig Alt, 484 meters high. It is a center of worship built in the 15th century on the basis of an old chapel. From the top you will have spectacular views of the region and the Pyrenees. If you want quieter routes, there are many paths for walking from the center of the town that go to neighboring towns such as Madremanya, Monells and La Bisbal d'Empordà.

SergioLoft Vilafreser - Couple

Insufficient jacuzzi, the rest excellent

The issue with the jacuzzi water needs to be addressed. I understand the intention to save water, and that there is a daily limit, but this limit must at least allow its use once, and right now it is very insufficient. For the rest, very good, actually.

Naturaki respond: Thank you very much for your comment, Sergio. Upon arrival, we always leave the jacuzzi full and ready for use. As we inform in the stay document, in winter the hot water tank (300 liters) can take up to five hours to reheat completely after using it. We appreciate your observation and are pleased to know that, otherwise, the stay has been very good. See you soon!.

AntonioCan Tona - With the family

Perfect stay to rest and enjoy with total tranquility

The communication with Natalia has been friendly, close and very fluid at all times, informing us in great detail from the first moment. The house is beautiful, it is impeccably clean and has everything necessary for a comfortable stay. The location is perfect if you are looking for silence, calm and rest. In addition, the extent of the land, completely enclosed, is incredible: my little dogs have enjoyed it immensely. Without a doubt, it is a place we will return to, because you know exactly that you are going to have an excellent experience.

DavideMas Trobat - With friends

The best rural getaway of my life

I believe there is no better way to write a positive review than this: we left on Sunday and 2 days later we booked again there for another weekend 8 months in advance! The farmhouse is spectacular and the management of the owners, even more: very friendly owners, everything perfectly clean, kitchen and floor equipped with everything you need, farmhouse organized so that guests can be as comfortable as possible. In short, it has been a perfect weekend among 17 friends. See you in September!.

JavierHostal Vilafreser - With the family

Very pleasant house to spend a few days with family

A house in a very quiet mini village, we spent a winter weekend with family and it is spacious and very comfortable. It has a jacuzzi that works very well. The outdoor area is very pleasant and we have been able to enjoy a few hours of sun and have a barbecue, the pool is left for another summer getaway. Recommendable. It's the first time I've rented a house with Naturaki and the truth is that they seem serious and professional.

RemediosCan Forgàs - With the family

Comfortable house and carefully decorated

The house is very beautiful and comfortable, the beds are very comfortable and the outdoor space is beautiful and very well-kept. The house has all the necessary kitchen utensils and I really liked the decoration with antique objects. The only thing to highlight is that the sofa is very small, there are sofas for 4 and the house is for 8.

Naturaki respond: Thank you for sharing your opinion, Remedios, and for highlighting such positive aspects of the house, such as comfort, equipment, outdoor space, and decoration. We are very pleased to know that you enjoyed your stay. We take note of your suggestion to consider it when there are possible improvements to the house. Thank you for the visit!.
