Welcome to Verges!
You are in the heart of the Empordà, in a 12th century house, part of the "Castillo de Verges". We wanted to give this place steeped in history the comfort of a holiday home combined with the expression of our artistic sensibilities. The colors are ubiquitous, the lighting moods are impacting. Artistic expression is here everywhere. An exceptional place at the crossroads between sea and countryside, preserved from the tumult of large seaside areas.
You like places of character with bold decorative choices.
The house of about 300m2, former residence of the local nobility, heritage of the Middle Ages, will be your place of residence. Colors, ethnic, cultural or cult influences, we have brought our sensitive and artistic vision to this space to make it an exceptional place.
You want a holiday in peace, near the most beautiful beaches of the Costa Brava, in a lush Mediterranean nature with Tuscan accents.
At the heart of "Empordànet", a region often considered by Catalans as the secret treasure of Catalonia, you are in Verges: its church, its bell tower, its place, its café, its shops. (2 mini markets, 1 bakery, 2 butchers, 2 banks, 1 pharmacy, 1 tobacconist and 5 bars / restaurants).
On the sea side, whether you like the wide beaches of dunes or the small coves with crystal clear waters, all the choices are available here. You will also have the opportunity to practice all kinds of sports and marine activities: windsurfing, kitesurfing (very good spots nearby), diving, snorkelling, kayaking ...
On the Land side, the region offers a plethora of fabulous natural panoramas, punctuated by the presence of villages with medieval paces incredibly maintained or incredibly restored (Peratallada, Pals, Empories ...). You will be able to combine the discovery of an often authentic peasant gastronomy (we will try to help you :)).
Here too, there are many activities: walking, cycling, horse riding, climbing, exploring the region in a balloon ...
