Luxury real estate Peratallada

Living in Peratallada

Peratallada is one of the best-preserved medieval ensembles in Catalonia. Located in the heart of the Baix Empordà, it belongs to the municipality of Forallac and keeps its castle, walls, a moat cut into the rock and a network of cobbled streets and stone houses that give the village a unique character.

Its inland setting in the Empordà, among farmland and woods, offers a peaceful life a few minutes from the coves of the Costa Brava and villages such as Pals or La Bisbal d'Empordà.

Village house or masia

A village house lets you live in the heart of the medieval centre, with everything on foot and simpler upkeep. A masia in the surroundings offers space, land and privacy, in exchange for relying on the car and greater maintenance. We explain this in our guide to buying a masia in the Empordà.

What a village house in Peratallada is like

The houses in Peratallada's historic centre were built with stone quarried from the site itself, which explains the unity of its architecture. They are usually arranged over several floors, with vaulted ground floors, timber beams and, in many cases, a small patio or terrace. The most careful restorations keep these features and combine them with modern kitchens and bathrooms, heating and a layout suited to today's lifestyle.

A village to enjoy all year

Although Peratallada receives many visitors in summer and at weekends, the rest of the time it is a quiet village with a very pleasant atmosphere. For those looking for a second home to use in autumn, winter or spring, its proximity to the coast and to Empordà cuisine makes it a very attractive option.
