Luxury Houses for Sale in Ullastret

Living in Ullastret

Ullastret is one of the most historic villages in the Baix Empordà. Its walled medieval centre preserves cobbled streets, stone houses and the church of Sant Pere, and its municipality is home to the Iberian settlement of Puig de Sant Andreu, one of the most important Iberian sites in Catalonia.

Located between Peratallada, Pals and La Bisbal, in the heart of the Empordà, Ullastret combines the tranquillity of a small village with the proximity of the coves of the Costa Brava and the services of the area.

What a village house in Ullastret is like

Houses in Ullastret’s old centre were built in stone, with thick walls, vaults and timber beams. Many are arranged over several floors and have a courtyard 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 life, in a protected setting that retains its historic appearance.

What to consider when buying in Ullastret

• The quality of the restoration: the condition of the structure, roof and installations.
• Light and outdoor space: a courtyard or terrace makes a big difference in a medieval centre.
• Heritage protection: the historic centre conditions exterior alterations.
• For masias: planning status, access and utilities.
• Distance to the coast: an important factor for a second home.

Life in Ullastret

Life in Ullastret is quiet and closely tied to the Empordà landscape: farmland, olive groves and the old drained lake around the village. The Iberian site and its museum, paths through the fields and local cuisine are part of daily life, and La Bisbal, Palafrugell and Girona provide services all year round.

Village house or masia

A village house lets you live in the historic centre with easier maintenance. A masia offers space, land and privacy, in exchange for greater upkeep. We explain this in our guide to buying a masia in the Empordà.

The Iberian settlement of Puig de Sant Andreu

On the outskirts of the village, on a small hill, are the remains of the Iberian settlement of Puig de Sant Andreu, with its walls, streets and house foundations. The site, with its museum, is a key archaeological landmark in the area and part of Ullastret’s identity. For residents, it is also a place for walks with views over the Empordà plain and the mountains.

An offer worth following

Given the size of the village, few village houses and masias come onto the market in Ullastret and its surroundings each year. It is worth being clear about your criteria —type of home, size, outdoor space and distance to the coast— so you can act quickly when a suitable property appears.
