Visit the old town of Vilaür

One of the great essentials of Vilaür is, without any doubt, its old town, which forms part of the Inventory of Architectural Heritage of Catalonia. Vilaür was a medieval fortified town, surrounded by a wall and impenetrable from the outside. Currently, it preserves part of its fortified enclosure. In addition, in the center of the old town we find the parish church of Sant Esteve, a fortified Romanesque building from the 12th and 13th centuries, which is also worth seeing. Outside the grounds, you cannot miss some historic farmhouses, such as Can Puig, from 1789 and Can Pou, from the 16th and 17th centuries.

Practice hiking and mountain biking

A very good way to discover the surroundings of Vilaür is on foot or by bicycle through its routes and paths. You will find from simple routes, ideal for doing with the family, to more difficult routes.

Relaxing week in the midst of so much heat

The house is cool, the pool, although small, is wonderful; we spent the hottest week (42 degrees) and we could only go out for a swim in the late afternoon, but the swim from 7 to 10 in the evening was brutal. Well equipped house, very comfortable mattresses, new appliances. We missed some dish soap and dishwashing soap (there were plenty of tablets for the dishwasher but not for scrubbing by hand. Coffee spoons would also be nice - the cups are tiny and the dessert spoons are huge. We call this to constructive criticism, let it be noted that we have been VERY WELL! And the town is charming and extraordinarily quiet.

Exceptional house for family reunion

Very well equipped house, kitchen with everything necessary for a group of 15 people. Spacious rooms, different spaces for group eating, a shame about the stifling heat of the week and the mosquitoes did not allow us to use the gazebo next to the barbecue. super-kept garden and pool. Jaume (Gardener) and the super friendly pool maintainer gave us a lot of advice for activities in the area, a big hug for them. Justina is very attentive with cleaning and small incidents.

AnabelMas Salleras - With the family

Dream vacation with the family in Mas Salleras, August 2023

Mas Salleras has met all the requirements for a perfect family vacation accompanied by our furry friend. The house is spectacular, both inside and outside... the living-dining room, the bedrooms, the porches, the pool, the barbecue area and the barbecue itself, the garden and the surroundings are perfect. The details that have been taken in the restoration of the Mas and the conservation of some elements are worthy of admiration. It is also noticeable that they take care of the maintenance of the garden, which makes your stay a very pleasant one. It is a secluded and very intimate farmhouse but close to all services, which allows you to enjoy the whole day in that wonderful house. We had a problem with the coffee maker and María responded to us within 5 minutes… and in less than an hour they brought us a replacement. We will repeat. Thank you Maria and thank you Naturaki.

Ideal for spending a few days with the family

Hello! We have been enjoying various Naturaki houses with the family for several years and this one, without a doubt, is one of the best we have been to. For the group we are, 7 people, this house is ideal (rooms with bathroom for all). We were able to enjoy the pool, the garden and the barbecue a lot. Although it can accommodate 5 more people, I find the second floor room impractical (spiral staircase).

JosefaCan Pou de les Olives - With the family

Tranquility and absolute disconnection

We have enjoyed the house and its facilities and I have to say that I think it is the house with more kitchenware and accessories than I have used on my vacation, nothing is missing, there are plenty of towels, pool towels, cleaning products and kitchen basics. I really recommend it, and I have to say that the owner is very friendly and accessible.
