Can Cortada 1771 – Country house among vines, Alt Empordà

The owners live on the property and are a family who respect the privacy of guests staying in the house. Each has their own private area and the communal areas, like the garden or outdoor spaces, are for the exclusive use of the guests staying there.

The house is situated on the edge of the village of Cantallops, 3 minutes’ walk from the centre. You can park outdoors right in front of the property which is free of charge.
