Cal Carantillo is accessible via a good tarmac road; only the last ±150 metres are unpaved.

Once you enter the property, you will be surprised by the beautiful view of Castell de Mur; a 10th-century castle and a landmark in the area.

The courtyard, seen from the slightly elevated access path.

A large gate leads to the courtyard, which used to serve as a threshing floor. In Catalan, this is called an ‘era’.

From threshing floor to dream location: this walled era is ready for a modern interpretation of outdoor living.

Part of the era is covered: the former hayloft with a beautiful wooden roof structure — authentic and worth preserving. In the courtyard, you will also find a natural spring: a special feature with potential for a sustainable lifestyle.

The courtyard provides access to the house via a store room where the natural stone olive oil containers are preserved.

The living room with an adjoining spacious bedroom. The small window with its original window sill offers a beautiful view of the valley. The deep window sill used to be a favourite place to sit: a place to do handicrafts or relax. In this way, the architecture became part of everyday life.

The living room with the original kitchen behind it.

The bread oven, the fire chamber and the wine cellar have also been preserved in their original condition.

The main entrance of the house opens into a small hall with access to the bread oven, the fire room, the wine cellar and the living room.

The first floor consists of several rooms and an attic room. The roof was completely inspected a few years ago and is watertight.

Pallars Jussà and the Tremp Valley

Cal Carantillo is located in the Tremp Valley, in the heart of the Pallars Jussà region. This region offers a unique combination of nature, culture and recreation. The landscape is characterised by reservoirs, mountains and traditional villages, and is ideal for activities such as hiking, mountain biking, fishing, climbing and paragliding. The region is known for its medieval castles, archaeological sites with dinosaur tracks and a relaxed, hospitable lifestyle. An area that invites you to explore, whether you are looking for peace and quiet or want to enjoy the outdoors in an active way.

The Castells del Front del Pallars are an impressive series of medieval defensive castles that once formed the border between Christian and Islamic territory. There are around twenty towers and fortresses, built in the 11th century, with Castell de Mur as the most important castle.

These castles and towers are built on mountain tops and offer fantastic views of the surrounding area. In addition to Castell de Mur, Castell de Guardia is also located near Cal Carantillo.

Castell de Guardia offers beautiful views of Lake Terradets with good swimming opportunities.

In addition to Lake Terradets, Lake Sant Antoni is also nearby. Both reservoirs offer plenty of opportunities for water sports, but also for relaxing with a snack and a drink on a terrace by the water.

Cal Carantillo lies at the foot of the magnificent Montsec mountain range with the spectacular gorges of Montrebei and Terradets. One of the most spectacular walks in Catalonia is through the Montrebei gorge, while a road and a railway track wind through the Terradets gorge.

The Montsec is a paradise for climbers, hikers, paragliders and mountain bikers. It is also a Starlight Reserve; one of the best places in the world for astronomical observation and to enjoy the starry sky.
