Begur
If your idea of the perfect holiday includes exploring a bit of history, as well as being spoilt for choice with beautiful beaches and amazing scenery, you’ll probably love the medieval town of Begur. Situated right in the middle of the Costa Brava, Begur provides an authentic and traditional experience of Spain. Far away from the overcrowded tourist hotspots, you can spend days wandering around the historic town or relax in hidden coves looking out at the spectacular views. Begur’s villas are ideally located for visiting the stunning coves of Sa Riera, Aiguablava and Sa Tuna.
Calella de Palafrugell
One of the highlights of staying in Calella de Palafrugell is the easy access to the picturesque coastal walks along the Cami de Ronda. Hikers from all around the world choose Calella de Palafrugell as a base to explore this 43km trail with panoramic sea views. The pathway winds through secluded coves and pine forests. Calella de Palafrugell also hosts the popular Havaneras festival in July when the area is busier than usual, brimming with a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere. If you prefer a more relaxing escape, our villas in Calella de Palafrugell also offer peaceful days relaxing in your private pool or beach days in undisturbed serenity.
Llafranc
For a holiday with sophisticated amenities and a more luxurious experience, Llafranc is great option. With a selection of fine dining restaurants, upscale waterfront bars and boutique shops, Llafranc is one of Costa Brava’s top destinations for a high-end holiday. Villas in Llafranc boast refined amenities and many villas offer breathtaking sea views for a truly captivating getaway. There are stunning beaches and crystal-clear waters, historic landmarks and memory-making excursions to ensure your stay in Llafranc is unforgettable. We highly recommend Casamar restaurant for gourmet dining with spectacular views.
Lloret de Mar
A more lively area of the Costa Brava, Lloret de Mar is the place to be if you want fun days out at waterparks, sandy beaches with plenty of watersports options and vibrant bars and restaurants. Our Lloret de Mar villas provide the option to stay in the heart of the action or in more quiet areas that are still within easy access of the bustling centre of Lloret de Mar. If you enjoy live music and lots of options for bars and restaurants, Lloret de Mar is perfect, while it also has cultural attractions like the Santa Clotilde Gardens.
Tamariu
For a holiday where you can recharge and unwind in a tranquil retreat, we think Tamariu will be the perfect location. This small fishing village is a quaint and charming location, with delicious seafood restaurants and a lovely sandy beach. It is a little piece of paradise hidden away from the busier Costa Brava resorts. The stunning clear waters are a haven for snorkellers and swimmers, while the relaxed ambience in the village ensures a heavenly escape. Our villas in Tamariu provide a luxurious, private dwelling to enjoy the blissful peace and quiet in a beautiful setting.
Whichever type of holiday experience you are dreaming of, our villas in the Costa Brava are conveniently located around these fantastic destinations. Now all you have to do is choose your prime location and your perfect villa.
