“THIS PROJECT WAS BORN WITH THE MISSION OF OFFERING A DIFFERENT WAY TO LIVE AND EXPERIENCE L’EMPORDÀ AND COSTA BRAVA. DURING THE FIRST YEAR, I FOCUSED ON IMAGINING AND DESIGNING EXPERIENCES TOGETHER WITH LOCAL EXPERTS — CHEFS, ARTISANS, BOTANISTS, ADVENTURERS — WHO KNOW THE LAND DEEPLY AND TRULY ENJOY SHARING IT. BEFORE LONG, THAT SAME WAY OF UNDERSTANDING TRAVEL LED ME TO BEGIN CREATING A COLLECTION OF UNIQUE HOMES.”
Founded in 2020 by Pablo Rovira, Viu has become a well-known and respected brand in the region. Today, it brings together some of the most special homes in L’Empordà and the Costa Brava — all available to rent by the day, week (or month) — along with a carefully curated selection of experiences and leisure proposals, designed to captivate today’s national and international traveler.
Driven by the motivation to keep turning a dream into reality, at Viu we continue to grow in ambition, enthusiasm, and team, always staying true to the principles that have guided us from day one — quality, curation, and authenticity — with the goal of creating meaningful moments and offering people a variety of places, homes, and experiences where they can feel good, disconnect, relax, get inspired, and enjoy time with those they love.
Behind Viu is a great team made up of Pablo, Víctor, Lola, Melissa, Paula, Carla, Valentina, and Joan. What unites us is a passion for the land, respect for what is genuine, and the desire to represent the essence of Empordà with discernment and sensitivity. And of course, to be the very best hosts.
Always connected to the world of tailor-made travel and passionate about Empordà, Pablo is the driving force and soul behind Viu Empordà.

“The end of 14 days with family in the home we rented with Viu Empordà this summer. A success in every sense: a beautiful house and impeccable service from Viu Empordà from arrival to departure. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to enjoy Empordà with the very best ambassadors of the region. Thank you!”
BEGOÑA S. – USA
“The home we rented through Viu Empordà exceeded our expectations. It was extremely comfortable, with décor that truly invites rest and relaxation. The kitchen became one of the heartbeats of the house, where we shared wonderful moments together. And if we had to choose a favorite, it would be the garden, with so many different spaces to talk, unwind, and soak up the sun. Congratulations to the Viu team for their kindness and their recommendations. Their attention to detail is felt from the very moment you arrive.”
ELISABETH W. – UK

It did not disappoint and fully lived up to our expectations. Pablo and Víctor were very attentive. The house was idyllic… Everything was designed to make our stay luxurious and relaxing… We can’t wait to return; it’s the kind of place you never want to leave.”
FELIPE K. – SPAIN
“We spent two weeks there and they were extraordinary. Beyond the home itself, the experience with Viu Empordà was fantastic from start to finish — from visiting the properties, to the check-in process, and their care throughout the entire stay (always ready to help whenever needed). Everything was a ten out of ten. We will definitely return.”
JOANA M. – BRAZIL
“This is the second year we’ve rented a home in Empordà… Viu’s houses are handpicked, beautifully selected and cared for, with excellent taste in both décor and architecture, as well as in their surroundings. The Viu team makes sure every home is fully equipped in every aspect… I have never seen such a discerning agency — I book with my eyes closed. Sea, mountains, quality and good taste in accommodation, great service and great food… This is truly appreciated.”
