Masia Mas Oms: Costa Brava area

In the year 1491 when Columbus was preparing to set sail for the "New World", Masia Mas Oms was just reaching the end of its construction. More than 500 years later the house has undertaken many reforms and alterations and its walls have many tales to tell. In the 18th and 19th centuries previous owners cultivated olive oil and wine here. However after the devastating fire of 1928 which decimated the Gavarres, the house and grounds were abandoned to nature. 90 years after being abandoned, the ruined house was brought back to life by the current owners in a loving five-year project.

Today Masia Mas Oms is a chic boutique eco-friendly hotel and which is also available to rent as a luxury vacation rental home. The home has a lot to offer the traveller and is perfect for those who above all seek tranquility, nature and comfort away from the crowds. The six bedrooms have top of the range eco-friendly beds, mattresses and linen and are furnished in calming neutral colours. People sleep so well here we are often asked by clients where they can buy the mattresses!

The house consists of 600m of living space and sits within 10 Hectares of private forest. The extremely thick walls offer incredible insulation against the heat of summer and the cold of winter keeping a comfortable internal temperature all year round. State-of-the-art fans are provided in the bedrooms if needed.

The Gavarres Massif covers almost 30,000 hectares or 300 square miles in total. The most common trees are Holm oak, pine and Cork oak. The Gavarres is a perfect destination for nature lovers to enjoy walking, cycling and bird-watching. Masia Mas Oms is also a perfect destination for company retreats as well as yoga and wellness retreats. Even though the Masia enjoys total peace and quiet with zero traffic noise or light pollution, towns and amenities are within a 15/20 minute drive and the Costa Brava beaches are reachable in 45 minutes by car.

The house enjoys a real eclectic mix of styles from 1920's Czech wardrobes, reclaimed Dutch church chairs in the dining room to modern wall art. No TV however one can be provided if requested.

Please note staff live on site in a separate self-contained part of the house and take care of cleaning and maintenance.
