Santa Cilia Lodge

SALVELINUS WEST

15th Century Villa Restored as Fly Fishing Lodge

INTIMATE ATMOSPHERE IN THE SPANISH PYRENEES

Ideally located on the banks of the Aragón River at the Pyrenees foothills, this stone  building sitting on a tiny village by the Way of Saint James, is flooded with history. Since its beginning, it served as a meeting point for merchants, pilgrims, San Juan de la Peña monks, winemakers, and all those who followed the course of the Pyrenees  waters to the Mediterranean sea. The Lodge was renovated in 2016; becoming a cozy, comfortable, fully equipped fly fishing lodge for exclusive use of anglers and their companions traveling with Salvelinus.

Strategically Located in the Heart of the Pyrenees

This picturesque region of Spain will enchant you with its medieval architecture, exciting fishing, and genuinely welcoming people.

Real People, Unique Experiences

Good local food & accommodation in monastic buildings giving a sense of history within the surroundings of a simple village and looking over a river. Ivan is very knowledgeable on «Classic» Spanish Wines and most persuasive in his serving!

This fantastic Orvis-endorsed fly fishing lodge itself is in the tiny, lovely village of Santa Cilia, directly next to the Aragon River. The lodge inside a historic medieval Monastery, the food, wine, companionship, scenery, cultural immersion, and accommodations were all “just what the doctor ordered,” for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

The accommodation is spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable. The food was exceptional, and the wines were first rate, all selected by Ivan the owner and were all of the highest quality. All of the staff at Salvelinus lodge Santa Cilia went out of their way to ensure that we had the best possible experience.

A made-to-measure centenarian village
