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.

Maria JoseHostal Vilafreser - With the family

Beautiful house and peaceful surroundings

The house is beautiful and it was clean, I don't give it 5 stars, because one of the reasons for renting it was the jacuzzi, and I was disappointed, since the water was not very hot, at 33 degrees, and there was no way to increase the temperature. At the same time, the house seemed to me that it was recently painted and the smell of paint was huge, I think that maybe they could have ventilated it a bit more since for children inhaling the smell of paint is not very good. For the rest, everything is correct and we had a great family weekend.

Naturaki respond: Thank you very much for sharing your experience. We are pleased to know that you were able to enjoy a good family weekend and that you found the house beautiful and clean. Regarding the smell of paint, the house was finished being painted on 12/02 and since then other customers have already passed without telling us any incident. In any case, the house was properly ventilated and it was more than a month since it had been painted before your stay. About the jacuzzi, the temperature is usually programmed at 34 °C. The water heats up approximately 3 °C per hour and it is important to keep the cover on so that it retains the heat. From the control panel customers can also increase the temperature up to 40 °C. In any case, whenever during the stay there is any doubt or inconvenience, we recommend contacting the emergency phone so that we can help you immediately and find a solution during the stay itself. Thank you again for your comment and we hope to be able to welcome you back on another occasion.

RubénLoft Vilafreser - With the family

A place to disconnect and enjoy tranquility

A very pleasant stay at Loft Vilafreser, ideal for relaxing and disconnecting from the stress of everyday life. The house is very well equipped, comfortable and cozy, which makes the experience very positive overall. As a small point to improve, the jacuzzi was not fully functional, the jets were not operational, and when filling it up, the available hot water for showering or other uses runs out (for a few hours). In addition, some embellishments of the jacuzzi holes were loose. On the other hand, the parking space could be improved if it had some kind of roof, since the car gets excessively dirty, as there is a tree with birds right above it. In any case, it has been a good experience and a totally recommendable place.

Naturaki respond: Thank you very much for sharing your experience at Loft Vilafreser. We are glad to know that you enjoyed the house and found it comfortable and well equipped. As for the jacuzzi, we have no record of other incidents and subsequent clients have used it normally. In any case, we always recommend notifying us during your stay if you detect any problem, so we can check it and help you at the moment. About the hot water, as we indicate in the stay sheet that we send after the online check-in, in winter, on cold days, the hot water tank when using the jacuzzi can take up to five hours to have hot water again as it has to heat 300 litres. Thank you also for the suggestion about the parking; we take note. We hope to be able to welcome you back on another occasion.

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!.

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.
