Cal Ventura Vell Estudi - Portell

The house dates from 1668, and is situated in the peaceful village of Portell in the region of Segarra. Portell is a village of 100 inhabitants surrounded by farm and woodland. The house has been lovingly restored, restoring the old cellars to their former glory in the basement. In front of the house there is a peaceful patio, ideal place for evening conversation or reading. From the patio we can descend a narrow street which takes us to pretty square with views of the surrounding countryside. There is a shared swimming pool 5 minute’s walk from the house or the local town swimming pool in Sant Ramón (2Km).

The house is divided into three apartments. The Studio is situated on the ground floor and is open plan. Living area with sofa bed for two, TV, dining area and kitchen area with stove, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, microwave and other domestic appliances. Bathroom, air conditioning and central heating. Communal washing machine and tumble dryer.

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.
