Description
Secluded below the church in the attractive Medieval village of Torla lies our tastefully converted pajar. Torla, in the heart of the Spanish Pyrenees, is the gateway to the dramatic National Park of Ordesa and Monte Perdido with spectacular scenery and walks. For the more adventurous, white water rafting, mountain biking, horse riding, canoeing, canyoning, and via ferrata can all be arranged locally.
Mount Mondarruego forms the backdrop to our house, Casa Petirrojo, which is set on three floors, sleeping 4 comfortably, and with its own sun terrace. Oak parquet floors, wood beams and period antique furniture all add to the charm of this cosy and well equipped house.
The top floor consists of one double bedroom,one bedroom with bunk beds, and shared bathroom with heated towel rail, WC, sink, bath and shower. The kitchen-lounge diner with fireplace is on the middle floor. The lower floor has a single room, a small bedroom with a double sofa bed, and shared bathroom with heated towel rail, shower, WC, sink and bidet. There is also a utility room with washer, iron and ironing board. All floors have central heating.
Location
The house is just 2 minutes by foot up the steps to the charming village of Torla, with its narrow streets, medieval architecture and stunning mountain views. Local facilities include 2 supermarkets, tourist information with free internet access, 2 banks, doctors and chemist, local butcher, and numerous restaurants.
The newly built National Park Visitors Centre is just 150m away. During peak holiday periods a shuttle bus runs from here into the Ordesa national park.. Outside these times the park can be reached by car (8km) or by foot (throughout the year), a beautiful 2 hour hike from the house. There are dozens of possibilities for spectacular walks, both from the house and within the park.
