What can I do in Vila-sacra and its holiday cottages?

Do you like cycling and want to go on a quiet, rural getaway? In the middle of the Empordà plain, just over ten minutes from Figueres, you will find Vila-sacra, a small town where you can get to know the typical Empordà agricultural landscape and take a few routes and walks on foot or by bike.

The history of Vila-sacra and its surroundings

The history of this small town in Empordà is closely linked to that of the monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes. In fact, at the end of the 18th century, following the disasters caused by the Rosselló War, the monks of the monastery had to move to the castle of Vila-sacra, of which only the tower remains today. They stayed there for a few years, until 1805, when King Charles IV granted them the transfer to Figueres. As a curiosity: Etymologically, it seems that the name Vila-sacra comes from the word villa and from Saccari, a personal name, and appears documented for the first time in the 10th century.

What to do during your stay at a tourist accommodation in Vila-sacra?

Visit its architectural heritage

If you stay in a rural house in Vila-sacra, you have two unmissable places to visit: the parish church of Sant Esteve , a fortified Romanesque building built in the 13th century, but extended during the Baroque, and the castle or palace of the Abat, which nowadays houses the town's Town Hall. It is, however, an old Benedictine monastery that belonged to Sant Pere de Rodes . Of the ancient remains, the circular tower is preserved, about fourteen meters high.

Take routes on foot or by bike

If you want to know what a real rural village of the Empordà plain is like, take your bike or put on some good walking shoes and discover the fields around Vila-sacra, dedicated to dry farming. Another option is to get closer to the banks of the Manol River. In addition, just over 10 kilometers away, half an hour by bike, you have the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà and the beaches of Empuriabrava.

Enjoy the Onion and Calçot Fair

If you visit Vila-sacra during the month of March, we recommend that you stop by the Onion and Calçot Fair, ideal for lovers of calçots and romesco sauce. You will find activities, craft and food stalls and, of course, calçots tasting throughout the day.

Very well located and very clean

House very well located, very clean. The bedding is really great. Despite the heat, the inside of the house remained cool. Pleasant exterior. We just need a little more dishes available but that's just a detail.

Great stay, great location, just great

We had a great stay and Marta is a very nice and helpful person! It's definitely value for money. Of course, there are some things that could be maintained better in the house but no deal breakers at all. Everything was there to have a relaxed stay. Would recommend going there!

MontserratCasa Canigó - With the family

The house a 10. The only problem is the flies...

The house is wonderful. We have had a great stay and the facilities cannot be faulted. We have really enjoyed both the house and the garden and pool. But we have all agreed on the amount of flies that were in the house. The kitchen was plagued, but also the dining room and even the bedrooms. It was not logical, since there were so many. I imagine it must have been due to the fertilizer that they must have been using for the fields... or the cause cannot be determined. But the reality is that it is a pity that such a wonderful house is overshadowed by this issue. Otherwise I can only say positive things. And the owner is also a charm. If that issue could be resolved, this house would be unbeatable.

Naturaki respond: Thank you very much, Montserrat, for your opinion. We are very happy to know that you liked the house and its facilities. Regarding the flies, having made a sudden change in weather from heat to rain, more flies have been noticed, but it is not usual. It can also be added to the fact that we are in a rural area, and being surrounded by fields and nature, there are more flies. Thanks for visiting and until next time!

The reality surpasses the images on the web

We had a great stay. The house is very comfortable, has everything you need and, in good weather, is very practical as it has two dining rooms (inside and outside), perfectly equipped. The host, Jordi, is very attentive and is always at the customer's disposal for any query. The equipment for children is unbeatable.
