Villanova: Holiday Apartments amid Mountains and Culture

Villanova lies on the right bank of the river, by the Sierra de Chía and opposite Pico de Eresué. The village centre is located below La Coma and Cerro de Santa Quiteria. Mountain references, specific examples of architecture and several trail routes give visitors different starting points for planning their trip. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment in Villanova can first decide which focus they prefer among the landscape, local culture and outdoor activities. This classification keeps the decision open: you can place the landscape, culture or preferred type of activity at the centre of your plans.

Location

The A-139 road runs alongside the lower part of Villanova and connects Benasque with Castejón de Sos. For your own planning, you can note the road layout and the village’s location separately instead of treating both details as the same type of orientation.

Landscape

On the PR-HU 51, dense forests, traditional mountain houses and impressive natural viewpoints alternate along the route. The hiking trail offers a descent option towards Villanova. After crossing the Ésera, the PR-HU 86 leads to Villanova, a village with Pyrenean architecture. The two descriptions place different emphasis on the area: one mentions changing landscape features, while the other connects the crossing of the Ésera with the village’s appearance. For planning purposes, you can distinguish between the landscape experience and the connection with the village.

Culture

The parish church of Santa María houses a 16th-century altarpiece. Casa El Ríu has a 16th-century portal, while Casa Beltrán features an arcaded courtyard. A virtual 360° tour is available for the Iglesia de San Pedro in Villanova. For classification purposes, you can distinguish between a religious work of art, historic details of houses and a digital visit.

Trails

Circular Route 4 begins in the upper part of Villanova; its starting point can be reached via the A-139 road. It passes through Sesué and then returns to Villanova. MTB Route 31 connects Castejón de Sos, Villanova and the Sesué power station. The starting point, return and connecting points provide different reference lines for planning. When comparing the types of activity, you can distinguish between a circular route and a connection between several places.

Tradition

In Villanova, the Fallas bonfires were carried for Saint John’s Day. Saint John’s Day provides a clear time reference for this event. When planning your trip, this cultural theme can be classified according to its occasion.

When choosing a holiday apartment in Villanova, you can compare the travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions on the respective offer page. These details can be weighted differently depending on your travel plans. You can consider the accommodation question separately from the cultural and trail topics described above: travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions represent different decision points, without mixing the information about the church, houses or routes.
