Much more than rural houses
And… why do we say that Casas Rurales Pirineo is much more than just rural houses? Let us tell you a story. The story of a small fortress, of a swamp, of a small village …. a story of feelings.
Once upon a time there was a picturesque village with stone houses among majestic mountains. At the foot of this small town a magical swamp, in its waters tears of sorrow, we are talking about Gerbe, a fabulous village.
Gerbe was until the 60’s an active village, dedicated to agriculture and livestock as its streets narrate, but the construction of the reservoir boosted in Gerbe the rural exodus of the time and emigration resulted in many of the houses were abandoned and these, without people to care for them, without children running through their corridors, were gradually aging.
In this sweet village, a palatial house built in the sixteenth century stood out above the rest, unfortunately, like most of the houses, it was abandoned. The passing of the years did not spare her, leaving her with serious wounds and almost in ruins; but she still kept her pride intact, fighting without letting herself die.
This struggle captivated a family, who understood the message that the house sent and at the same time summarized their lives, “the family and the happiness of their loved ones, the value of the little things, the struggle and love for these mountains”, so they decided to rehabilitate this castle, fortress, palace, fairytale house, trying to transmit in this way the message that they had so impressed to the world.
And so, after many years of effort, Casas Rurales Pirineo opens, with the intention of giving life to Huesca and that every visitor who enters this fortress can recall the past and immerse themselves in that world of fantasy.
Come to Casas Rurales Pirineo and let its well, its oven, its streets talk to you, for sure they have something to tell you!
