Description
We are a fun English family with two properties based on the banks of the River Ebro. English is the main language spoken, but also Spanish and Catalan. The villa you will be staying in is used by our family and friends for holidays and has spectacular views over the river. Some meals during the week to be taken with our family and the rest of the week we will provide food for you to cook in the villa.
Mora la Nova has mild winters and 90 % clear blue skies. On the cold nights there is a wood burning stove to keep you cosy. The villa is calm, peaceful and tranquil the only noise to be heard is the wildlife. If you enjoy fishing, the villa has direct access to the river.
