In the small town of Vilamaniscle, located at the foot of the Albera mountain range, very close to Llançà and the beaches of the Costa Brava, you can find very authentic holiday cottages and tourist accommodation ideal for enjoying the Albera area. A fantastic town for hiking and mountain bike routes, cultural tourism and wine tourism, as it is part of the DO Empordà. All very close to the Costa Brava and the Monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes.

What can I do in Vilamaniscle and its holiday cottages?

At the foot of the Albera mountain range, between vineyards and pine forests, we find Vilamaniscle. A small town of just over 200 inhabitants known, above all, for being one of the wine producers in the DO Empordà. A village, therefore, ideal for hiking, mountain bike routes and wine tourism.

The history of Vilamaniscle and its surroundings

Although the existence of megalithic monuments proves a prehistoric human presence, there is no record of the existence of Vilamaniscle until the 11th century, when Pope Benedict VIII mentions the place known as 'Villare de Melandre', which was the possession of monastery of Sant Esteve de Banyoles. Later, in the 16th century, there is evidence of this territory again, which then belonged to the Vilarigs. The population of Vilamaniscle has traditionally been sparse.

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

Visit its megalithic monuments

If you are staying in a holiday cottage in Vilamaniscle, you cannot miss the megalithic monuments of the right stone or menhir of Mas Roqué and the Dofines dolmen. Two constructions that are estimated to date from approximately 3000 BC. However, it is also worth visiting the church of Sant Gil, a small building with a single nave from the 17th and 18th centuries, and the castle of Vilamaniscle, a large fortified castle located in the upper part of the town and which, despite which is not known exactly when it was built, has a baroque shield on the portal.

Hiking or mountain biking routes through the Albera mountain range

The small village of Vilamaniscle is located in the Serra de l'Albera, a natural area full of paths and routes ideal for hiking and mountain biking. You can also get close to the Suro Gros viewpoint, located in a recently rehabilitated area from which you can see the entire Albera and Salines mountain ranges, as well as the Canigó massif. Or, even, choose to do the section of the GR 11 that passes through the center of the town and goes to Port de la Selva.

Do a wine tasting at some of their wineries

Vilamaniscle is a wine producer within the DO Empordà, therefore, nothing better than ending one of the proposed routes with a wine tasting at some of its wineries and, in passing, taking the opportunity to enjoy the local gastronomy.

FabienNiu de l'Albera - With friends

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.

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!

MontseCan Dalmau - With the family

MOTHER'S BIRTHDAY WITH THE ENTIRE FAMILY

The house is comfortable. But for me the photos are better than the reality. The rooms look bigger than they are. The pool area and the room are very good, but the rooms need a coat of paint and some mattresses need to be changed and the decoration improved. There are no cupboards in the kitchen to store food, glasses and spoons are missing. Joaquim (the owner of the house) is very endearing and makes everything easy for you. Her parents live upstairs in the house by the pool and it takes away your privacy.

Naturaki respond: Thank you, Montse, for your review. We are glad to know that you found the house comfortable and that you liked the room and the pool area. With regard to the photographs and the distribution of the house, we have taken the photographs personally and in the description and plans of the house we specify its distribution and communicate that the owners live in a part of the house with a completely independent entrance. We take note of your comments to improve the stay in Can Dalmau. Thanks for visiting!

Juan AntonioCan Dalmau - With the family

Big and comfortable house with host always available to help

A big house with facilities to have fun. Especially in summer to enjoy the pool, games room and covered dining room. To access the upper floor is from an external staircase. Take it into account if there are small children. Joaquim (the owner) is charming and always willing to help with whatever is needed.
