Bretui is a small hamlet located in the north-west sector of the municipality of Baix Pallars, at 1,055 metres above sea level, with privileged views over the Pla de Corts, which it overlooks from a sunny, elevated position.

In this period, the village, with twenty-five farmsteads, appears in an inventory of the monastery of Santa Maria de Gerri as a place where tithes on livestock were collected in the Pla de Corts.
