Casa Migdia is an old rectory (parish priest residence) of the 18th century that has been restored and converted into a pleasant house to rent for a family or group of 12 people. It is located in Sant Jordi Desvalls, a medieval hamlet 20 minutes away from Girona and hidden within the green and lush region of the Ampurdán. 

The house has 5 bedrooms among which one could highlight La Carmen, with a private terrace full of flowers and plants, where you can take a sunbath every day. It also provides an old-fashioned bathtub with claw legs and a floor of Moroccan tiles. All the rooms have a flat-screen TV, a DVD player and Wi-Fi. From th reception, with the typical Catalan vaulted ceiling, two staircases take you to the bedrooms and a sitting room with several snug sofas around a fireplace where winter evenings can be spent chatting or reading the books from the library.

There’s a spacious dining room for 20 people and a bar leading to the garden, where you can enjoy the homemade breakfast or a relaxed drink. Close by, just around twenty minutes away, we can explore the beaches and coves that are so characteristic of the Costa Brava. There you can practice ski, diving and wind and kite surfing. An alternative is an excursion by horse or bicycle, as well as trekking and jogging. Should you feel like doing a bit of tourism, Sant Jordi Desvalls is in the middle of the “Dali Triangle” with Figueres, Cadaqués and Púbol where his museums and residences are to be found. There are other Middle Ages villages around, such as Pals, Peratallada or Ullastret that are worth a visit.
