Unique benefits of the property
Vila Nou is located in the unique and stunning village of Ullastret, in the heart of the Baix Emporda. Ullastret has a population of fewer than 300 and the locals, many of whom have lived here for generations, are proud of their village and its unique character and appeal. Many families from Barcelona own holiday and weekend properties here, too, where they come to escape from the city and bask in the tranquility of the best the Emporda region has to offer.
The small local store is a delight offering a chance to meet the locals as well as stock up on all your essentials and to try some local produce as Bottifarra – the Catalan speciality sausage and locally baked Iberian bread. The 3 local restaurants offer superb high quality traditional Iberian cooking sourcing all products.
