About the venue

Mas Torroella, Forallac

Mas Torroella is a restored 14th-century Catalan manor house in the Gavarres natural park near Forallac, in the Baix Empordà, about ten minutes from the coves of the Costa Brava such as Llafranc, Tamariu and Aiguablava, 50 minutes from Girona airport and 1 hour 40 from Barcelona. It is taken on an exclusive basis, with a minimum of three nights, and its 11 suites sleep 30. Ceremonies take place in the ancient ruins under a row of stone arches looking towards the sea, in the Secret Forest or under the vaulted ceiling of the entry hall, with drinks by the pool, dinner in one of four gardens and the party in the Events Hall. Weddings are for up to about 200 guests, and up to 300 in the gardens, from about €14,500 including three nights for 30, with no music curfew.

Mas Torroella is a 14th-century manor house surrounded by the woods of the Gavarres natural park, inland from the Costa Brava. It was brought back to life by the father of Sílvia, who runs it today with her husband Joseph, and has been restored to a very high standard over three floors, keeping its historic character alongside modern comforts.

Ceremonies can take place in three very different settings: under the 14th-century vaulted ceiling of the entry hall, in the Secret Forest, or in the ancient ruins, where a row of carved stone arches frames a view across the trees towards the Mediterranean.

Aperitifs are served under the pergola by the pool, and dinner in one of four gardens: the Sunset Garden, the Pergola Garden, the Main Garden in front of the house, or the Events Garden, where marquees and stretch tents can be set up. The party then moves to the Events Hall, which becomes a disco after dinner.

Couples take the whole estate for their stay. The 11 suites sleep 30, and there is a large pool, an indoor spa with Finnish sauna, a gym, a tennis court, table tennis and a children's playground, so the days before and after the wedding feel like a holiday with your guests.
