On what is renowned as being one of the most scenic tracts of the Costa Brava coastline, a stunning natural landscape of interlocking slopes, swathed in a blanket of pine trees and Mediterranean plants, looks eastwards towards the glistening ocean and tumbles down into a delightful bay of golden sands and translucent waters at the idyllic cove of Cala Canyelles.

Nestling alongside one of the tree-covered valleys that flow out to sea, on a pretty residential lane just 800m from this cove, this villa offers that most sought after of holiday settings: a beautifully presented home sitting amidst an enclosed lawned garden within easy reach of the beach and its waterfront restaurant.

Inside, the look is contemporary, with a light décor that perfectly complements fashionable furnishings of crisp clean lines; outside, an immaculate lawn is overlooked by a covered dining terrace and steps lead down to the swimming pool which sits within a crazy paved patio on a lower level.

It is a charming home that is ideally placed for discovering the enticing coastal scenes that have made this area of the Mediterranean such a favoured haunt of artists and writers over the years. On the beach itself meals can be enjoyed on the restaurant terrace whilst looking out to sea or across to the colourful boats moored in the harbour. Up above, the picturesque coast road winds its way northwards through a stunning littoral landscape to the pretty seaside town of Tossa de Mar (7km) where all amenities can be found within the charming labyrinth of cobbled streets of its 12th Century castellated old town.
