Living in Madremanya

Madremanya is a small medieval village at the foot of Les Gavarres, on the border between the Gironès and Baix Empordà counties. Its core of stone houses, cobbled streets and surroundings of fields and woods make it one of the quietest and most authentic corners of the Empordà.

What a masia in Madremanya is like

The masias around Madremanya are traditional stone farmhouses, often several centuries old and with large built areas. Some retain outbuildings such as former stables, haylofts or granaries that can be converted into guest houses, studios or workspaces. The surrounding land, orientation and views over Les Gavarres are as important as the house itself.

Close to Girona, in the heart of the countryside

One of Madremanya's advantages is its proximity to Girona, which lets you live in a small village without giving up a city with full services, cultural life, schools and national and international connections. For many families, this combination of rural living and a nearby city is the main reason for choosing this part of the Empordà.
