Casa Osor

The house

Room by room

What the house is, what you can use today, and what is still being worked on. Nothing here describes something that does not yet exist.

Available now ready to use Coming soon planned, not yet in place Being confirmed we are still checking

These photographs were taken shortly before we took the house on, so they show it furnished as it was. Much of what you see is temporary.

Character

An old village house

Casa Osor is a traditional house in the historic centre of Osor, built into the fabric of the village rather than standing apart from it. It has the proportions, materials and quirks of a building that has been lived in for a long time.

We are not trying to erase that. The intention is to keep the age and character of the house while making it calmer, more comfortable and more useful.

Age of the building, previous uses and history: details being confirmed.

The main staircase, with painted tile risers, a turned handrail and brass-topped balusters.

Current condition

Where we have got to

The house is usable and some rooms are already suitable for guests. Others are still being cleared, repaired or furnished.

Some of the furniture currently in the house came with it and is temporary — it will be removed or replaced over time. Occasionally a room may be out of use while we work on it.

You will always know before agreeing a stay exactly which rooms and facilities are available on your dates.

Good to know

The church bell

Casa Osor sits in the heart of the old village, close to the church. Its bell marks the hours throughout the day and night — part of the soundtrack of village life, although light sleepers may prefer to bring earplugs.

We would rather tell you this on the way in than have you discover it at three in the morning.

Also worth saying

Village living

The house is in the village, not in isolation. That means neighbours, narrow streets, occasional village noise and the rhythms of a working community — which is much of the appeal, but is not the same as a remote farmhouse.

Festivals, market days and other village events: details being confirmed.
