Holiday Cottage in Torla-Ordesa, Spanish Pyrenees, Ordesa National Park

We are an English family who moved here 12 years ago after falling in love with this stunning and unspoilt corner of the Spanish Pyrenees. We are keen outdoor and wildlife enthusiasts, and this is reflected in the activity holidays we run during the year. This area is perfect for hiking, wildlife watching, including the endangered lammergeier, enjoying local cuisine and produce, and seeing the huge variety of Pyrenees flowers and butterflies. We also grow a lot of our own organic vegetables and fruit, so summer and autumn visitors are often welcomed with samples of our homegrown produce!
We live in a nearby village, so we normally welcome guests on arrival and are on hand to offer local advice or answer any questions you may have, to ensure you make the most of your stay.

The house is set apart from the bustle of the village yet close enough to be just 3 minutes walk up the steps to shops and amenities. It is south facing and has its own terrace. We clean and maintain the property ourselves and take great care to ensure you have everything you need for your stay. This includes basics such as toilet and kitchen rolls, teabags, coffee, sugar, oil, herbs, washing up liquid, washing powder etc. We prepare the beds according to the guest's requests and even put duvets on the beds in the winter. Bathroom, kitchen towels and bed linen are included in the price
Because we just live further down the valley we are on hand for any questions or advice.

Torla is in the heart of the Central Spanish Pyrenees. At 1100m altitude it is high enough to provide a lush green landscape even in summer yet far enough east to escape the rainfall more associated with the western Pyrenees. Not only is Torla the closest place to stay for walkers wanting to explore the National Park of Ordesa and Monte Perdido but Torla itself is also a great place to walk from, with numerous ancient footpaths to explore. Torla lies at the head of the valley of Ara, named after the river which is just 5 mins walk from the house. There is superb white water rafting in the spring and several secluded spots along this pristine river for a dip in summer. For Romanesque and Medieval architecture, Jaca to the West and Ainsa to the East are a short drive away.
