In the surroundings near the house, the special connection to the hermitage of Sant Onofre stands out, since the access road is from the parking lot of the house.

History”
The house is listed as architectural heritage. In its origins it was probably linked to the monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes. The oldest part of the house is a room with stone walls and vaulted ceiling, vestiges of the 13th century, with a first transmission in 1622. The house has changed over the centuries, expanding rooms, incorporating architectural elements different. Its two completely different facades stand out. The south-facing one, with large sunny windows and magnificent views. The one to the north, with views of the hermitage of San Onofre and the castle of Sant Salvador, as well as the Verdera natural park without any buildings.
The farm has as a differential fact the existence of two watchtowers. The first, next to the road to the mountains and the door of the lions, which was built for the surveillance of possible bandits who were hiding in some nearby caves. The second tower, made of stone, with decorative friezes and windows with Gothic reminiscences that give it elegance and enhance the whole. The entire estate is surrounded by walls that delimit the 5000m2 gardens.
