History
A piece of local history
The country house in Vilanova de Meià is a genuine witness to the past, carefully preserved over the years. It is part of the village's story: a stone house, a little piece of local history.
The house (1850)
In 1850, local builders raised this house with traditional materials that reflected the strength and solidity of the community. Natural stone was the obvious choice for its outer walls, and hand-cut wooden beams held up the roof.
As time went by, the house witnessed several generations. Its character remained intact, and the community of Vilanova de Meià always recognised the importance of this historic building.
In recent times it underwent a meticulous restoration to preserve its authenticity. The beams were restored with great skill, keeping their original beauty and function, with the utmost dedication of the local craftspeople.
Today it blends the rustic and the modern in harmony: natural stone still forms its solid walls, while the interior has been updated with every comfort to offer you a relaxing stay.
Vilanova de Meià, a village with medieval roots
This picturesque village in the Noguera region (Lleida) has a rich history that reaches back to ancient times. Already in medieval times it held significant importance, evidenced by the 11th-century Castle of Vilanova de Meià, which served as a strategic and defensive point in the region.
During the Middle Ages the village grew around the castle, becoming a nerve centre. The local economy was based on farming and livestock, drawing on the fertility of the land and the abundance of natural resources.
Over the centuries, Vilanova de Meià has managed to keep its charm and heritage: cobbled streets, stone houses and the remains of the castle offer a journey back in time. Today it is also a destination for lovers of climbing and hiking, thanks to its striking rock formations and mountain landscapes.
