The holiday apartment and facilities

Comfortable holiday apartment with private terrace

Font Nova is approximately 90 m² and accommodates 5 guests, with the possibility of one additional bed.

The heart of the apartment is the open-plan living area, where the kitchen, dining area and lounge are combined. From here, you have direct access to the private terrace, which is one of the highlights of Font Nova.

The terrace has a table and chairs as well as a barbecue, making it a wonderful place to enjoy meals outside while overlooking the swimming pool and the beautiful Catalan countryside. It is equally pleasant in the evening after a day by the pool or exploring the surrounding area.

Well-equipped kitchen and modern comforts

The kitchen is well equipped with a fridge and freezer, ceramic hob, oven, microwave and dishwasher. There is also a Nespresso coffee machine, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee on the terrace.

The living area includes a dining table, comfortable seating and a television, with views towards the surrounding countryside.

Font Nova also offers Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a washing machine and a tumble dryer.

The apartment is located in a building with a lift, making arrival with luggage easier and providing convenient access for guests who prefer to avoid stairs.

Large garden and 17-metre swimming pool

One of the main attractions of Casas Estamener is the beautiful shared outdoor area behind the property.

Here you will find an impressive 17 x 5 metre swimming pool surrounded by garden areas with different places to relax. There are sunny areas as well as shaded spots for warm summer days.

From the pool area, you can enjoy lovely views across the surrounding landscape towards the Pyrenees in the distance.

The pool area also has toilets and changing facilities, together with tables and seating areas in the garden. The swimming pool is fenced, which is particularly convenient for families travelling with younger children.

Bakery and café just downstairs

One of the special features of Casas Estamener is the family-run bakery and café located on the ground floor of the building.

This means that freshly baked bread, croissants and other local specialities are almost literally on your doorstep. Few things are better than collecting fresh bread in the morning and taking it upstairs to enjoy breakfast on your private terrace.

The village also has restaurants and a small grocery shop within walking distance, allowing you to enjoy a holiday without having to drive every time you need something.

Bedrooms and bathroom

Font Nova has two bedrooms:

• 1 bedroom with a double bed
• 1 bedroom with 3 single beds
• Possibility of 1 additional bed

There is one bathroom with a shower.

The apartment is therefore particularly suitable for families with children or smaller groups looking for a comfortable holiday home in Catalonia combined with the facilities of Casas Estamener's large garden and swimming pool.

Things to do in Lluçanès and Osona

Lluçanès – nature right outside your door

Casas Estamener is located in Lluçanès, a peaceful and authentic part of inland Catalonia characterised by rolling countryside, forests, traditional villages, farms and views towards the mountains.

It is an excellent destination for a relaxing rural holiday where there is no need to organise a major excursion every day. You can walk or cycle directly from the village into the surrounding countryside and return for an afternoon by the swimming pool.

The area offers many walking and cycling routes, and Casas Estamener can also assist with the rental of both traditional bicycles and electric bikes. Advance reservation of bicycles is recommended.

Hiking, cycling and active holidays in Osona

Osona and Lluçanès are excellent destinations for visitors who enjoy discovering Catalonia on foot or by bicycle. The landscape varies from the open countryside around Vic to forests, rivers, hills and mountain scenery further north.

There is an extensive network of walking routes, while the region also offers very good opportunities for mountain biking and road cycling.

If you would like to try something different during your holiday, the wider Osona area also offers activities such as horse riding, climbing and other outdoor experiences. Hot-air ballooning is another popular way to experience the landscape, with impressive views across central Catalonia and towards the Pyrenees.

Vic – markets, history and Catalan atmosphere

Approximately 25 minutes by car from Casas Estamener is Vic, the main town of Osona and one of the most attractive historic towns in central Catalonia.

Its old town is ideal for a relaxed day trip. Wander through the narrow historic streets, visit the impressive Plaça Major, see the Roman Temple and the cathedral area, or explore the city's renowned museum of medieval art.

Vic is particularly worth visiting on Tuesday and Saturday mornings, when the traditional market fills Plaça Major and the surrounding streets. Local residents and visitors come to buy fruit, vegetables, clothing and a wide range of local products.

You can easily combine a visit to the market with lunch at one of Vic's many restaurants followed by a walk through the historic centre.

Discover the food and local products of Osona

Food and local produce are an important part of the identity of Osona. The region is especially well known for its sausages and cured meats, including the famous llonganissa de Vic, as well as cheeses, mushrooms, truffles, bread and other local products.

A holiday in the area therefore offers plenty of opportunities to discover small producers, local markets and restaurants and to experience a side of Catalan cuisine that you may not find in the more tourist-oriented coastal resorts.

And when staying at Font Nova, the gastronomic experience can begin first thing in the morning with the bakery directly downstairs.

The Pyrenees and mountain scenery

Drive north from Casas Estamener and the scenery gradually becomes more mountainous. Within approximately 30-60 minutes, you can reach areas closer to the Pyrenees.

Here you will find even more opportunities for hiking, scenic drives, viewpoints and outdoor activities. This makes it easy to combine the gentle landscapes of Lluçanès with a day exploring the mountains during your stay.

Day trips to Barcelona, Girona and Costa Brava

The central location of Casas Estamener also makes longer day trips possible.

Barcelona is approximately 75 minutes away by car, while Girona and the beaches of Costa Brava can be reached in around 1.5 hours.

This means you do not have to choose between countryside and city experiences. You can stay in a peaceful Catalan village surrounded by nature and still spend a day sightseeing in Barcelona or head east for a day combining Girona or Costa Brava with the Mediterranean coast.
