Finca Ninfas Del Agua
in Els Port Natural Park

Come and stay for a very much "home from home" comfort, in very welcoming accommodation in the panoramic Els Ports Natural Park of Catalonia.

Anthony and Christine feel caring for their guests needs are of paramount importance. Anthony comes from a background of Hotel Management and truly understands the hospitality environment.

They are 11kms from Tortosa (15 minutes in the car) passing Els Regeurs (4kms) on the way. Further on is the village of Alfara de Carlas (5kms).

Finca Ninfas del Agua offers a two bedroom, non-smoking apartment located on the first floor of the owners "casa" ( Maximum occupancy of 5 people). The bedrooms are comfortably furnished with a private balcony leading off the main bedroom. The spacious separate bathroom has a shower. There is a very large kitchen, with fridge freezer, ample units and beautiful crockery and a proper cooker ( hob and oven). Also, your own juicer to enjoy fresh orange juice picked off their own orange trees in season to quench your thirst or revive you all in the mornings.

The living room has antique polished Spanish dining room suite and display units. Sink into comfy seats. Enjoy the log burner. The apartment also has both air conditioning and heating, according to your preference. This lovely large room has a wide choice of books, videos and a music system. No need to miss your favourite programs, as they have English satellite television with a DVD and VCR. If you need to check on emails, the owner's internet access downstairs is available.

Step outside into the quiet garden and you have a swimming pool (shared with owners) of 1.2 meter's deep to submerge in from April to October along with a choice of 3 BBQ´s.

There is an amazing "Garden Living Room"(fly-free) for you to escape into for coolness if needed. Eat "el fresco" at a table in there and "outside" kitchen facilities and another large fridge, ideal to keep the drinks cool all summer for you. The outdoor aviary across from it, should be completed for the summer.

Wander on further down the old olives and orange grove (114!!) set amongst stunning mountain scenery backdrop, that you feel you could almost reach out and touch. But there are tasteful clearings amongst the orchards scattered about the small holding, where you will find quiet secluded places to sit, read, relax,sunbathe, write or paint. Separate areas for swings and slides for laughter filled hours. Christine encourages you to pick and eat whatever is in season: grapes, hazelnuts, peaches, apricots, home grown veggies, etc.

A badminton court is tucked away in the bottom corner and a boules court is promised for summer, for those not wanting to venture far. Families are very welcomed, but neither cots nor high chairs are provided. All linen, gas and electricity are include within the Euro tariff. Just pack your own swimming pool towels

Arriving late at night or on Sundays and fiestas you will find the supermarkets are closed though the owners do provide a welcome starter pack free of charge. Christine also offers a washing and ironing service for a nominal fee. So just put your feet up and count the water nymphs eagles or ibex.

Finca Ninfas del Agua is ideally situated on a Michelin designated scenic route between the two small, but friendly towns of Els Regeurs and Alfara de Carles, at the foot of the Els Ports mountains. The area is well known across Europe and the States, for its walking with many tracks being suitable for general rambling, whilst others are well sign-posted routes to places of interest. Access to the GR7 (Gran Randonere) walking route is just a few miles further up the road and goes from Tosca to Caro for the keener and more intrepid hiker.

At Font Tosca (about 4 kms away) you have the choice of two very palatable restaurants that are open on the weekends. There is the Restaurant Mur with its bull ring where they have the "bull runs" that you can watch or take part during the Fiesta Major in August. Around 5.30 pm, the Ibex come down from the mountain heights, proudly surveying their ravine. A site to marvel at from the Ninfas del Agua!

Your host, Anthony is a keen walker and doesn´t charge to take guests on walks. One of his favourite is the walk to Font Nova where there is the oldest and protected pine tree known in Catalonia. During spring and autumn you will encounter wandering shepherds with their sheep and goats idling along the paths.

Or he will drive you nearer the Mont Caro and take you on the Caramella walk, where you will be delighted with wonderful views and breath taking bird watching moments of vultures and eagles soaring overhead.

Thirty minutes by car and you will discover wonderful family safe, sandy beaches located down on the Ebro Delta Natural Park, which is at the southern end of the Costa Daurada. This area is also very popular for birdwatching, fishing, rambling, boating and even windsurfing is done on the Carlos de la Rapida side,as well as triathlons. See the coastal guide.

If you fancy a change from all the greenery and would like to try a day or two fishing for the Giant Carp and huge Wells Cats, we can arrange that with a choice of very experienced river and delta estuary fishing guides. These prices are supplied on enquiry and a Catalonian fishing licence is required. Furnish us with copies of passports 6 weeks before and we charge a fee of 20 euros per licence. These guides need to be booked in advance and the payments are separate from the Finca Ninfas rental fees.

Likewise, there are no set dates for arrival and departure dates. Tell us the date and day you want to arrive and we will try to oblige. Singles, couples and families - everyone is welcome.
