villa in Portell

Large town house located in the peaceful village of Portell (100 inhabitants), in the inland of Segarra region of Catalonia. The house is situated at one extreme of the village and has a quiet square in front where there is a table and chairs from which you can enjoy good views over the neighbouring countryside. There is a shared swimming pool 5 minute’s walk from the house or the local town swimming pool in Sant Ramón (2Km).

This large, detached property is distributed on two floors. On the ground floor there is a living room/ dining-room with fireplace and TV and the kitchen, fully equipped with oven, microwave, dishwasher and a small breakfast table. On this floor there is also a bathroom, a separate toilet where the washing machine and the tumble dryer are located and a bedroom with three single beds. On the first floor there are three spacious double bedrooms, a bathroom and a large TV room with a sofa bed for extra guests. There is also the possibility of adding two further extra beds.

This is a surprising region for the variety of activities on offer. The capital, Cervera (16km) is a city with a long history dating from the 12th century. The city lived its golden age in the 18th century when it had the honour of housing the only university in Catalonia. Among other things, visits to the university, the castles in neighbouring towns of Pallargues and Florejacs and the remains of the Roman town of Iesso (Guissona) are a must. Portell forms part of the municipality of St. Ramon, well known for its Monastery and Baroque style church, and also its Sanctuary, declared of Cultural and Artistic Interest in 1980.
