The rugged Costa Brava is an area of stunning diversity; a fascinating and contrasting coastline with craggy escarpments and rocky inlets punctuated by pretty, sandy beaches.  We are therefore delighted to have discovered this charming, stylish Lloret de Mar villa tucked away in a sunny valley just 10 minute’s walk (800m) from one of the most appealing enclaves to be found along this magical shoreline: Cala Canyelles, a beach of golden sand that according to local folklore formed part of a smugglers route in centuries past.

Set in a residential lane with much greenery this attractive house is modern in design yet constructed in terracotta brick and local stone creating a very Mediterranean feel to its appearance.

Offering a comfortable, contemporary interior, full advantage has been taken of the property’s sunny location.  From the open plan living area on the ground floor, which conveniently opens to the south facing pool and barbecue area, to the spacious upstairs terrace that enjoys partial views to the shimmering, blue ocean, every cleverly thought out detail makes this a perfect choice of villa for anyone seeking quality accommodation within walking distance of a superb, unspoilt beach.

Whilst the beautiful, sandy cove of Cala Canyelles is tucked away beneath a natural landscape of soaring pine trees it offers all the amenities necessary to spend a family day on the beach including a beach bar and beachside restaurant offering fine local dishes.  From here, guests may opt to catch a ride on the daily tour boat to nearby Tossa de Mar and enjoy a stroll around its winding lanes of atmospheric shops and taverns before climbing up the old fortifications from where stunning views can be enjoyed across the bay.
