There are places where one stays, and places that stay in memory

Surrounding

“Fontclara is synonymous with an idyllic Empordà village, where anyone in love with the area would like to have a country house”.

Mas Ametller is located on the edge of the village of Fontclara, where the garden itself becomes fields of crops and woods, flooding every season of the year with the colours of nature.

From the intense green of the rice fields growing rapidly in the spring, to the infinite fields covered in green with the flowering rapeseed,

thousands of photographic sun-turns in the middle of summer, or the characteristic panístic colour of the cereal spikes waved by the wind as if they were waves in the sea.

There are five houses from the past, five stone houses perfectly preserved and maintained, built on a flat expanse far away from the city’s traffic.

Enjoy the Masia full of places, surrounded by an agricultural landscape and an infinite sky, only 9 kilometres away from the beautiful beaches and coves of the Costa Brava.
