Photos and Description of this Lleida Province holiday farmhouse Farmhouse, 3 bedrooms, sleeps 6 and adjacent cottage, 2 bedrooms, sleeps 4

Casa Mauri is a beautifully restored stone farmhouse impressively situated on a rock outcrop in the village of Santa Engracia in the Catalan Pyrenees. The Rough Guide to the Pyrenees describes Santa Engracia as 'surely the most spectacularly set village in Catalunya'. Views from the property are stunning, looking down over the the Tremp valley and its two lakes. From the pinnacle on which Santa Engracia is situated, a 360 degree panorama reveals the snow-capped Pyrenees. Casa Mauri has been lovingly restored by its English owners, conserving the original thick stone walls and beamed ceilings whilst providing clean, modern and spacious facilities. We have two properties to offer, situated at right angles around a picturesque walled courtyard. The region is quiet and unspoilt providing the perfect place to relax and unwind. There are year-round activities of interest- many outdoor sports, a wide range of birds, wild flowers, butterflies, Romanesque architecture, dinosaur footprints.

One floor above are the kitchen, living room and terrace. The farmhouse kitchen is large and well equipped with 4-ring gas cooker, fridge-freezer, microwave, toaster, and plenty of crockery, pans and cooking implements.

Santa Engracia is situated at a height of 1000m, 12km from the market town of Tremp. Tremp is an attractive small town. Within the remains of the old town walls, the streets of the old town are pedestrianised. The newer section has a tree-lined rambla where drinks and tapas can be enjoyed. Tremp offers all basic facilities, including outdoor pools, bars and restaurants, post office, banks, supermarkets plus the more traditional suppliers. The lake,a 15 min. drive from Santa Engracia, is popular for swimming and canoes and pedaloes can be hired. More adventurous sports are also available in the region. There are many spectacular gorges in the area, including the Terradets, the Collegats with its Gaudiesque natural rock structures and the Mont Rebei gorge with footpath cut into the cliff side. A visit to the beautiful Aiguestortes National Park 90 mins. drive away is a must. Andorra is also 90 mins. from the village. NOTE: There is a tarmaced road between Sta. Engracia and Tremp.

Further details for this holiday farmhouse rental in Lleida Province, Spain

A wide range of outdoor activities: Walking can be enjoyed by all from the casual stroller to the mountaineer. Much of the walking in the area makes use of old mule and sheep tracks and forestry roads. The walking and scenery are fascinating in their variety. The region in recent years has become very popular with climbers, Vilanova de Meia and the Terradets being two popular sites. There are also spectacular gorges to explore. The region offers many water sports, including canoeing and white water rafting. A number of places offer horse riding. Other outdoor activities available are swimming, fishing, archery, bungy jumping, quad bikes, hang-gliding and paragliding. There are a number of ski resorts around 75 mins drive away. If you fancy slightly less energetic activities there are always the many picturesque and interesting villages to explore and in Autumn the spectacular autumn colours make a wonderful photographic target. At night the clear and light-free skies provide wonderful starry panoramas.

Nature- lover's paradise.: The region is very popular with ornithologists and amateur bird-spotters. The most common bird in the village is the black redstart. Amongst many other birds nesting in the village is the blue rock thrush and hoopoes and bee-eaters are common. Griffon vultures are a frequent sight and lammergeiers not uncommon. Wild flowers are many and varied and particularly spectacular on the meadowy-slopes of the Pyrenees. There are also numerous varieties of butterfly in the region.

A region steeped in history: Catalonia is famous for its many Romanesque churches, castles and towers. There is a Romanesque watchtower on the rock of Santa Engracia itself. In Cretaceous times Santa Engracia was situated on the Atlantic coast. Just outside the nearby Roman town of Isona is a field of dinosaur footprints. Dinosaur eggs can be seen in the local museum. There is also a set of dinosaur prints on the rock of Santa Engracia!

Other Activities: rafting, canoeing, quads, climbing,bird-watching, wild flowers, butterflies

Casa Mauri

Waga Mama North Wales
Review Submitted: May 6, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
We had a lovely holiday at Casa Mauri in 2008. We stayed in the cottage which looked out on to a private court yard. It was very clean and well maintained. It is suituated in a small village on top of a hill so the veiws are fantastic. It is quiet and well away from the crowds - just how we like it Anne and Mike were great and have done some amazing renovations to the farmhouse and cottage which they did themselve! They were there to meet us and help us with our bags and answered any questions we had throughout the holiday-they were extremely helpful and friendly and always available when we needed them. The area is so beautiful. We visited the national park which is about a one to one and a half hours drive away and walked in the local area. There are plenty of activities such as water sports, horse riding. swimming etc to do, We had no trouble filling our days and the lakes are lovely if you just want to relax. There are places to eat out locally or further afield. Some are very basic others more up market its best to ask Anne and Mike as they have a good idea of the local eating places. We don't eat meat so it was more of a problem for us to find want we wanted but there is a perfectly good kitchen in the cottage which we made use of and a lovely balcony to eat out on. There's a good market where you can buy food. If you like the out doors its a brilliant place to be and children will love it. There's a lot of adventure and exciting things to do. We went with our teenage son who had a wonderful time. We have already recommend Casa Mauri to our friends and relatives and although we have a rule of never visiting a place twice we would definately return to Cas Mauri which is situated in a very stunning part of the world. From 3 outdoor loving people.

Casa Mauri

Scampow 06650 Le Rouret, France
Review Submitted: June 11, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2008
We were very pleased with the quality of the accomodation. The property was very clean. The self-catering facilities are excellent along with a wood fire for those cold winter evenings! We were particularly pleased with the fact that our dog was welcome. If you like the outdoors you'll enjoy your stay here. The village is small and very quite(no facilities). You are only about 15-20 mins from the nearest town for supermarkets, restaurants etc.The views from this small hill topped village are fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We'd certainly recommend it to anyone who is into the outdoor life. Excellent value for money!

A little bit of Heaven in the Pyrenees

Igloo Cornwall, UK
Review Submitted: May 7, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2008
A superb place to get away from it all and to enjoy the splendid solitude and magnificent scenery. Very comfortable accommodation and a very warm welcome from Mike and Anne who take a personal interest in making one's stay so special. An ideal place for those who enjoy bird-watching, walking, and exploring this part of the Spanish Pyrenees. We have spent three very happy holidays there and hope soon to return for another visit as soon as we are able.

Our holiday in Casa Mauri

Sue and Jens Wetherby, West Yorkshire
Review Submitted: May 6, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2008
The property is beautiful, on the top of a mountain. The owners provided alot of information regarding walks and places to visit in the area. There was lots to do:from walking to White Water Rafting. The Lake at the bottom of the hill is great for swimming safely for the children. We had wonderful weather and could have spent the whole time in the lake. It was so much better than being with the crowds on the Spanish coast. Totally idyllic.
We saw many wonderful birds - especially birds of prey.
The only negatives was that it was perhaps too hot for us in mid August.
