Hidden away from the buzz of the coast is a rustic and exemplary property located in the beautiful region of Girona, specifically in the Gavarres Nature Reserve. Villa Oms is a 600 m2 old Catalan masia from the 15th century, which was entirely refurbished in 2020 and is an ideal property for large groups who are looking to reconnect whilst on holiday. The exterior of this property is home to a stellar collection of amenities, such as an expansive swimming pool that resides in the centre of the grounds. This is an ideal spot for children to play exciting games whilst the grown-ups relax in the blazing heat of the sun. A key element of this property is its large collection of outdoor terraces, helping to extend its community-like feel. As such, guests can use a wealth of outdoor seating and dining areas to enjoy a range of delicious meals as well as a stunning array of views.
Inside, this property exudes a very rustic and traditional theme, helping to make guests feel right at home. The ground floor is home to a collection of premium amenities, such as an elegant massage parlour. Therefore, guests are free to ease their tired and aching muscles at any point throughout their stay. The main centrepiece of this space is the decadent piano, meaning that guests can listen to delicate music throughout their expressive stay. The ground floor is also home to three state-of-the-art bedrooms. The first bedroom contains a double bed as well as a pair of single beds, making it a suitable space for families to gain a restful night's sleep.

Thus, guests can use this space to kick back and relax as they reminisce about their favourite parts of the trip. The dining area showcases a variety of tables and chairs, allowing guests to either come together as a group or detach for some alone time.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa OmsGirona is an incredibly vast and exquisite region, helping guests to discover an array of landmarks throughout their travels. If you wish to explore this region from new heights, a tour across the Eiffel Bridge is an ideal way to do so. This bridge was constructed by the acclaimed Gustav Eiffel and actually predates the Eiffel Tower, making it a very significant attraction across the region. Guests can trek along the length of this extensive monument and take in the sights of the Onyar River. As one of the most famous landmarks in the entirety of Girona, guests are encouraged to take their time and marvel at the tremendous sights that surround them. The Eiffel Bridge can be found just 30 minutes away from the villa, and from there, guests can go on to explore the rest of Girona.
Girona Cathedral is a deeply moving religious monument that is situated just under a 10-minute walk from the Eiffel Bridge. Perched on top of a very vast hill, guests must travel up the various steps in order to gain a glimpse of this grandiose building. Once inside, guests can observe an abundance of artefacts and fluters, helping to extend their understanding of this quaint city. Moreover, due to the sheer height of this cathedral, guests can also bask in a series of remarkable panoramic views, giving them a better look at some of the area's hotspots. As such, this is an ideal landmark to visit if you are looking to combine history with amazing views.
If you are a fan of all things fantasy, a Game of Thrones Walking Tour is a real treat. Girona was a key filming location for the series and depicted the fictional region of Braavos throughout the sixth season, making it a fantastic destination for any avid fan. Beginning at the local cathedral, guests will meander through the idyllic Jewish Quarter to discover how the cast and crew transformed this quiet area into an unbelievable world. The experienced tour guide will also provide comparison shots to offer a more comprehensive understanding of how the monuments were used in the show. A standard tour lasts for around two and a half hours and is available in both Spanish and English, making it suitable for foreign travellers.

Best Suited For: All AgesGirona is filled with a collection of fascinating attractions, making it a great place for children to broaden their developing horizons. If you are looking to indulge in a spot of people-watching alongside a moreish cup of coffee, Cafe Le Bistrot is the ideal place to do so. This charming cafe is about 5 minutes away from the Eiffel Bridge and offers a vast selection of artisan teas and coffees, as well as a collection of delicious menu items. Therefore, guests are free to try dishes such as a refreshing salmon salad and an expertly prepared duck fillet. Plus, there are an array of vegan and vegetarian options available, helping to adhere to almost every taste.
The Jewish Quarter is an incredibly preserved attraction that can be found just a stone's throw away from the centre of Girona. This area is well known for its vast Jewish population, a majority of which lived in this quarter up until 1492. As such, the cobbled streets are filled with history, exemplifying the diverse and beautiful nature of this legacy-defining city. This area is also home to the Jewish Museum, a premium establishment that showcases the history of the Jewish culture and how it impacted the entirety of Girona. If you want a more in-depth look into these streets, guests are encouraged to embark on an expansive three-hour tour, which begins at The River Cafe.
Girona is also well recognised for its outstanding Medieval Walls, which are also referred to as Passeig de la Muralla. These archaic walls span the eastern border of Girona, offering incredible views of the decadent buildings. Thus, this is a fantastic way to uncover a wide range of hidden gems. During this impressive journey, guests will also come across a variety of spectacular towers, adding another layer of history to their expedition. Many previous guests note that it only takes an hour to climb these walls, making it an ideal sightseeing activity for those who are short on time. Passeig de la Muralla is situated around 15 minutes away from the centre of the city.
There are also many outdoor activities that kids are bound to enjoy in this region. From snorkelling to hot-air balloon rides to horseriding to watersports, there is plenty to keep the kids entertained, and you will rarely hear the words "I'm bored."

What was it about the property that you first fell in love with?
Finding a charming property in Spain had been our dream for many years but we needed to find the right spot. We wanted to find an old finca to renovate near the Costa Brava but far from the summer crowds. As soon as we saw the property, this magical place was the obvious choice. Secluded but not far from anything, it sits at the end of a paved road, free from traffic noise and light pollution. We knew then that this would be the little slice of heaven that we would share with you.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Villa Oms. The house is perfectly positioned with 360 degree views of a breath taking and seemingly endless landscape where you only hear the sounds of nature.
The house itself has been thoughtfully and sympathetically restored and designed, retaining period details and texture, whilst ensuring all modern comforts, such as a bathroom/shower for each bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen, open plan kitchen dining area, an outdoor kitchen with dining area by the beautiful pool and small terraces around the house that offered privacy, stunning views and a gentle breeze. Owner Julian was quick to respond to any queries we had and the daily cleaning service was impeccable. We also helped ourselves to herbs and vegetables from the garden and were given a basket of freshly laid eggs.
It really was one of our best holidays. We were completely taken by this part of Spain, which we had never visited before and definitely plan to return. We would book Villa Oms again without hesitation. -
The atmosphere is magical at Villa Oms
The place is amazing. Stunning area and the atmosphere is magical. Make sure to stay for dinner as it’s all organic and so well prepared. Hosts are wonderful! We will definitely come back.

Truly a gem!
Villa Oms is truly a gem! Julien is a warm and genuine host who made us feel at home during our stay, and Celine is a genius in the kitchen who prepared so many inspired dishes for breakfast and dinner that we couldn’t bring ourselves to eat anywhere else.
The rooms and grounds are exquisite and meticulously cared for, and the views of the mountains are spectacular at any time of day! We could not have asked for a better escape and can't wait for our return.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
