Located in a small, quiet village, this stone-clad house has lots of rustic charm. We loved the well-kept garden, peaceful patio and distant views of the Pyrenees – it’s easy to adopt a laidback, Mediterranean lifestyle here. To ensure a memorable stay, your host can help arrange a variety of additional services and experiences, including hiring an in-house chef to cook for you and arranging an at-home yoga session or massage. And when you’re ready to explore, the historic town of Torroella de Montgri, with its narrow streets and impressive castle, and the former fishing village of L’Escala, famous for its anchovies, are just a short drive away.

Splashed across architectural digests and featured in glossy magazines, this is a very special spot in the Baix Empordà. Wild gardens carry the scent of Mediterranean herbs and the swimming pool and terrace have been constructed with rose-hued stone from the nearby River Ter. The dining terrace can be closed off or opened up to the sprawling views thanks to folding glass doors and it backs onto the farmhouse-style kitchen. Bedrooms embrace the surroundings with traditional Catalan "volta" (brick vaulted) ceilings, along with the spartan lounge which feels like a ceramics workshop. If you want to get out an explore, buzzing Girona is just over half-an-hour’s drive away and the beach at L'Estartit is twenty minutes by car.

Tucked away in the quiet village of Maranyà, this pink home delivers rustic charm and a range of modern comforts. Up on the roof terrace you can admire views across Empordà, while down below the rooms are family-friendly with plenty of space to enjoy quality time together.

And for adventures further afield, it’s just 12 kilometres to the wild beaches of the Costa Brava while the city of Girona is just 35 kilometres away. 


Pink Ochre 

Exercise Equipment

Surrounded by holm oak forests in the heart of the Les Gavarres Natural Park, this villa is an ideal retreat for nature lovers. Outside, there are plenty of shady spots and the swimming pool provides respite on hot afternoons. When it comes to mealtimes, we recommend calling upon the help of your host to arrange for a private chef to take care of dinner. Inside, beds can be configured as doubles or twins upon request and there’s an office for anyone who’s mixing business with pleasure. Location-wise, Pals Beach is less than a twenty-five-minute drive away and the town of La Bisbal d'Empordà is reached in fifteen.

Casa del Cielo

Private Pool

Standing in the heart of the Les Gavarres Natural Park, this former farmstead sits amidst oak forests and idyllic nature. Renovated using local materials, the home's rustic charm makes a fantastic backdrop to a family reunion, while the private garden offers stunning landscape views. While the pool is shared with the owners, it's still a great addition – set in the large garden and surrounded by trees, you'll feel the seclusion here. When you start to miss civilization, though, you're just 15 minutes from La Bisbal d'Empordà, a town with shops and eateries, and close to some of Costa Brava's most beautiful beaches.

Gaudi might be famous for his work in Barcelona, but that hasn't stopped this home taking inspiration from the famous Catalan architect. A 200-year-old farmhouse has been turned into a slick, white-washed hangout. Modernist influences are seen in the rounded walls, arched doorways, and buckled pillars. The living room is far out, from the white pool and foosball tables to the huge semi-circular sofa. The master suite is the most impressive, sending out spaceship vibes with its round bed, droplet shaped fireplace and spacious curved bath. But not even the slinky interiors can compete with Mother Nature, as views over the hills and out to the sea abound from every angle. The garden has been planted with bougainvillea, which showers archways and dining tables with pink blossoms when it blooms. For special occasions, head to the home's club room, complete with a DJ hut and incredible sound system. Life will feel pretty amazing floating in the infinity pool or sipping cocktails on the terrace.

Reef of Life

Access to Beach

Fenced Property

This colonial treasure in Girona stands out for its picturesque garden and swimming pool. Wander around the lawn and take lunch at the wooden table on the terrace; you'll feel in utter seclusion between the well-kept hedges. Head inside to make the most of the cosy furniture, and sit by the fireplace with friends on cooler evenings. Watch the widescreen TV with your family, before cooking up something special in the charming kitchen. The master bedroom is a highlight, with French doors opening onto an elegant balcony, providing views of the Girona countryside. Head to L'Escala for the shops and restaurants, before working up a tan on Riells Beach. 

Kaleidoscope Of Dreams

Netflix

Rooftop Terrace

In the charming fishing port of L'Escala, the rooftop terrace of this bright and breezy villa gives you a panoramic view over the Bay of Roses. Up here, above the rooftops of the colourful town, you’ll find a turquoise plunge pool offering respite on hot days, and deck chairs to enjoy the view. Dinner can be taken on the terrace at the table for eight, and glass fold-away doors blend the dining terrace with the open-plan living room. Rattan furnishings and driftwood touches bring the beachy vibe inside and pristine white walls are livened up with sea-glass bottles and rare seashells. It’s a five-minute walk to the seafront where boats land the freshest seafood at the harbour, and a ten-minute walk sees you at the sandy stretch of beach at Platja del Rec. Explore the town on foot and dine on the catch of the day, or stock up on fresh fish and sun-ripened fruit and veg and cook in the vintage-chic kitchen back home. 

Driftwood Hideaway

The property Birdie Duplex is a charming and fully renovated penthouse located in the beautiful town of Platja de Pals, just 1 km away from the sandy beach. This exceptional duplex offers a unique and unforgettable holiday experience. The spacious living/dining room welcomes guests with its warm ambiance and air conditioning.

Outdoor Kitchen

In Les Gavarres Natural Park within the famous Costa Brava area of Spain, this villa dates back to the 18th century. With sprawling grounds filled with citrus orchards, vast lawns, shaded patios and a shimmering private swimming pool, it's perfect for family holidays, reunions with friends, special events or even corporate retreats. Each room is uniquely and elegantly decorated and offers stunning views of the surrounding scenery. There are several living rooms to spread out across and we particularly love the barrel-vaulted dining room big enough for groups to gather. 

Spanish Sunshine

The sleek, contemporary design of this villa in Tamariu is effortlessly stylish. Floor-to-ceiling windows and glass walls on the lowest floor mean it's filled with light throughout the day, and a real highlight will be waking up to the panoramic sea views from two of the double bedrooms. Step out onto the balcony to enjoy a morning coffee overlooking the water, before a leisurely breakfast on the terrace below. And why not prepare a barbecue for lunch, dining al fresco on the oak wood table, or wander into Tamariu for a lunch of fresh seafood overlooking the beach.

Panoramic Blue

Experience Vilaür living in this beautifully restored 18th-century Pajar house. The private terrace offers an idyllic entryway to this charming two-story abode, as well as a spot for golden hour sundowners. Spread over two floors (prepare to climb some stairs), the ground floor features a beamed living area with a double sofa bed to accommodate your third and fourth guests. The upper mezzanine offers a comfortable bedroom with a desk and swing seat to unwind in. Located in the medieval town of Vilaür, you can explore its rich history and 13th-century Romanesque architecture on your doorstep, while the beaches of La Escala lie 18km away.

Sun Umbrellas

Situated in the charming Catalan village of Sant Mori, this elegant apartment is perfect for a small family or for couples visiting this picturesque area. You’ll be within walking distance of the town’s shops and restaurants, with plenty of outdoor activities to be enjoyed too. The home has a large private garden, a pool, and a shaded alfresco dining area. The inside feels bright and comfy, offering a modern design and plenty of light. Although there’s enough bed space for five, we think the home is best suited for four adults and a child.

With sun-drenched terraces and a sparkling infinity pool, this modern villa is made for outdoor living. But, thanks to the wall of glass providing an invisible barrier between the indoor and outdoor spaces, you can soak up the green valley views from inside the home, too. Nestled into the hillside, this home is an oasis of calm – and golf enthusiasts will be delighted to hear it’s also just five minutes from the nearest course. If you prefer a more laid-back vibe, it’s also a short drive from the Costa Brava’s sandy shores, perfect when you crave a beach day.

Even before entering the house, we fell under the spell of its surroundings – the glistening pool, the stunning views, the huge garden, and the outdoor dining area, inviting you to plan those magical alfresco feasts that go on long into the warm, Spanish nights. You’ll enjoy absolute privacy and tranquillity here, the perfect setting to catch up on your holiday reads and relax in one of the many sun loungers dotted about. 

Come inside and be prepared for a beautiful treat – what the home’s façade promises with its old-world glamour, the interior more than delivers. We love the stone and wood details, the unique art pieces and furnishings, and the cosy, inviting ambience. There is more than enough space to snuggle up and enjoy a movie night or an afternoon of wine and conversation, with an ornamental fireplace to add to that homely feel. 

The bedrooms, situated upstairs, are another highlight: with plush, comfy beds, timelessly stylish furnishings, and beautiful wooden floors, you’re guaranteed a restful sleep. 

Whenever you feel like exploring, there is an abundance of activities to be enjoyed in the area – from cycling and horse riding, to exploring the charming town of Calonge and the stunning beaches of the Costa Brava, just five and ten minutes away by car respectively.


Barefoot Contessa

Located in the heart of charming Begur, this stylish Spanish villa offers the perfect sanctuary within Costa Brava’s bustling town. Ideally placed for strolling into town for delicious lunches and designer shopping, you’ll quickly slip into the laid-back local lifestyle here. Vibrant Barcelona is also around a half an hour drive away and makes for an excellent day trip. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into ensuring Sunset Hideaway has a sociable vibe. You’ll find large living spaces across two floors, making this a great spot for two groups of families looking for the occasional downtime. We loved the contemporary windows that flood the interiors with natural light, providing a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. Its stone-walled garden is in keeping with the home’s traditional charm and offers a lovely backdrop to the sunsets over the Pyrenees each night. 

Sunset Hideaway

Board Games

Bicycles

Perfectly positioned on a hillside, a ten-minute drive from the pretty town of Begur, this villa is all about sea views and laidback living. Your days will be spent on your private terrace, soaking up every last drop of the Costa Brava sunshine. Perhaps you’ll settle into a lounger with an ice-cold beverage in hand or maybe you’ll swim gentle laps in the glittering pool. When it’s time to eat, set the table on the balcony ready for a Catalan feast whipped up in the no-frills kitchen and if you’d like a quiet moment with your holiday read, the window seat in the bright living space is an excellent spot. Stretch your legs with a twenty-five-minute walk to Sa Tuna, an idyllic cove with a sandy beach – it was our favourite spot to while away the long afternoons. Head home before dusk with a bottle of Cava and watch the sunset melt into the ocean from your enviable vantage point.

Girasol

Rain Shower

Balcony / Rooftop Terrace

Courtyard

This charming apartment has many highlights, but the obvious one lies in its proximity to the beach. You can walk just ten metres from your resort and you'll reach the golden stretch of Playa de Pals, extending to cover three kilometres of the glistening coastline. Huge and peaceful, you certainly won't struggle for a place to lay your towel. 

If you prefer swimming in the pool than the sea, the resort is home to a large, pristine pool and a cute kids pool by the side. If you're coming with little ones, the adjacent pools make it easy to keep an eye on them whilst they play in the water.

Lush greenery surrounds the pool, which continues in the garden of the apartment complex. Lined with a wooden table and sun beds, it's a dreamy spot to let your mind wander as you listen to the sound of the waves lapping onto the shore. 

You can enjoy the same sense of tranquilly from the privacy of your balcony. Settle down for some tapas and Rioja wine on the dining table, kissed by the sea breeze and warmed by the gentle rays of the sun. If you want a break from the heat, relax at the breakfast bar with a coffee or curl up with a book in the comfy seats.



The Golden Metres

Paid Parking On Street

Not far from the Spanish border you’ll find Perpignan, a classified City of Art and History – thanks to its roots as a former Majorcan capital – and home to this eclectic apartment. It’s only fitting that the bold interior echoes elements of both Spanish and French flair as an ode to its surroundings. The result is a vibrant space that honours natural wood and rattan but also puts more opulent touches front and centre. 

Spend your time here unwinding with an early-morning coffee on the balcony or by reading on the sunny sofa. Gather around the kitchen island after lunch to pour the wine, snacking as you chat. 

When you wander out, you’ll find Spanish influences in the Cathedral of Saint-Jean-Baptiste and the majestic promenade des Platanes. Take holiday photos in front of the many ancient buildings and sit down to eat at one of the local restaurants or cafes. Head to the beach – Plage du Lido lies at the other end of a short drive, or tee off at Golf de Saint-Cyprien.

Where the Birds Sing

Stair Gates

Offering you the best of both worlds, this homely cottage in the Spanish countryside exemplifies country living but with easy access to the Costa Brava coast. 

Imagine yourself here, starting every morning in the shaker-style kitchen and enjoying a cup of coffee at the sturdy wooden table. See the beautiful world outside through arched windows as you stroll across terracotta tiles and under curved ceilings. An easiness here will take the knots out of your shoulders and encourage you to spend lazy mornings basking in the sun as you read poolside. Run around on the lawn, dine al fresco at every opportunity – the outdoor kitchen is perfect for putting tapas together – and spend evenings under the stars with a jug of sangria.

With its pastel colour palette and the natural elements that border on boho, this home will be a joy for the whole family, affording everyone the privacy and space they need to unwind. If, however, you’d like to explore more of the area, we recommend trying some of the surrounding restaurants for a taste of Spain. Hike the trails to get more acquainted with the natural landscape and spend sun-drenched days on the beach as you explore the coast. 

The Olive Green Arch

Secured Parking

If you’re dreaming of an escape to the Spanish coast – and all the sun, sand, and sangria that comes with it – this four-bedroom home in the Costa Brava is your next holiday destination. Wake up in the master bedroom and take a moment to marvel at the view from the panoramic windows before make your way poolside for a quick dip and breakfast on the balcony. Surrounded by wild hillside and sea views, this home is perfectly placed for exploring the hiking trails and scenic walks of the Muntanyes de Begur nature reserve, and with a host of beautiful beaches within a ten-minute drive, the only problem you’ll face is deciding which one to visit first. 


Terracotta Seer

DVD Player

This eye-catching villa has bagged a great spot on a stretch of coastline designated an area of outstanding natural beauty, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Cleverly designed over three floors to merge into the hillside, the home boasts sea views from inside and out. Lazy days can be spent admiring the vistas from the private pool and terraces and when you’re ready to head out, you’ll find a sandy beach and choice of restaurants in Tamariu, just a five-minute drive away. 

Hills & Sea

Fenced Pool

A happy French beach holiday is made all the more special when you stay at this gorgeous French chateau. It’s based just a short stroll away from the stunning Racou beach, where you can enjoy a dip in the Mediterranean, sunbathe on the sandy shore, or sip on a glass of champagne in a beach bar. The home sits nestled away in a peaceful spot, surrounded by leafy green gardens, giving you a serene retreat to return to after days spent in the more vibrant parts of town.

We adore how this home is packed with character – ornate tiled floors, elegant light fixtures, traditional artwork and chic French furniture give it a je ne sais quoi that’s rare to find. There’s plenty of places to make lots of memories here – the beautiful outdoor pool provides the perfect place to cool off in the sunshine, while the terrace invites you to sip on sundowners while you watch the sky turn pink on warm summer evenings. For autumn and winter stays, you can cosy up around the fireplace with a French hot chocolate – drunk out of a bowl, of course – or spend evenings stuck into a good book in the library with a glass of wine.


Jewel of Argelès

Tennis Court

This lovely home in Llafranc is perfect for those looking for absolute rest and relaxation. Boasting countryside views, this home is close to the beach and the bars of the town, while being nicely removed from tourist traps. Llafranc is a quiet part of Spain on the Costa Brava, with a stunning coastline and gorgeous beaches. 

The home is bright and cheerful, with bold splashes of colour that add warmth to the neutral palette. Your eye will most often be drawn outside, through the floor-to-ceiling windows that lead onto the large terrace. Trees surround the home, making it feel nicely secluded despite being part of a resort. 

When you’re not by the shared swimming pool – which is huge and inviting – you’ll likely spend most of your time on the terrace. There are sun loungers so sun-worshippers will be content, and there’s a lovely dining area too. You might like to drive fourteen minutes to beautiful Calella de Palafrugell for lunch by the water, and then spend your evenings grilling up local seafood on the barbecue. 

The clear water and soft sand of Platja El Cau are a seven-minute walk away, so days at the beach couldn’t be easier. To really take in the glorious coastline, walk ten minutes to the viewpoint at Mirador de la Divina Pastora. It’s a wonderful spot for sunset. 


Orange Sherbet

Early / Late Check-Out Available

Alarm System

Nestled in the coastal village of Calella de Palafrugell, a scenic walk from the golden sands of El Golfet beach, this villa promises an exceptional stay – especially since you'll have a House Manager and housekeeping team looking after you. Inside, the bedrooms all have their own en-suites and dressing rooms (spread over three floors), plus there's a lift down to the basement where you'll find an independent suite and a professional cinema. Yes, the cinema is impressive, but we expect you'll spend most of your time here outdoors, where there's plenty of space for swimming and soaking up the sun. And just look at that view – it speaks for itself. 

Sea House

Amazon Prime

Pool / Snooker Table

Mini Bar

Renovated to feel luxurious and modern, this beautiful villa was originally built in the 1940s and it has the patchwork stone facade to show for it. Although imposing from a distance, the interior radiates comfort and homeliness to make your break as cosy as possible, but not without a little dash of pizazz. Wander across three floors to find your favourite spot in this home – we can guarantee for some it will be in the games room where you can pass hours playing billiards, whereas other may take most favourably to the minibar and dancefloor. 

As fun as it is indoors, the outdoor area has even more to offer. Splash in the pool or challenge each other to a game of tennis, but don’t forget to unwind on the sunloungers as you kick back with an ice-cold drink and good book. 

Light the barbecue for lunch and make use of the sprawling terrace to socialise with wine, nibbles and good conversation. For a bit of alone-time, you can take to one of the swing chairs to admire the view, or stretch yourself all the way out on one of the hammocks to have an afternoon nap in the shade of the trees. 

Costa Brava has an arresting Mediterranean coastline and we encourage you to explore it. Start by taking a twenty-five-minute walk to the soft sand of Llafranc beach. When you’re not enjoying alfresco meals at home, you might stroll to find some choice restaurants not even ten minutes away.

Casa Bello

Sitting peacefully on the rugged coastline of Palafrugell, this home makes the ideal setting for a rustic Catalonian escape. You’ll be welcomed by beautiful views, a private swimming pool and plenty of outdoor space to sit back and soak it all in. The rooms and furnishings are slightly dated, but it’s a great option for families with one of the twin bedrooms featuring children’s beds, plus your host can also help organise cots and high chairs. You will need a car to get around here, but it’s just 2.2. kilometres to the amenities of Palafrugell, with Platja Fonda beach just a ten-minute drive away.  


Natural Retreat

This spacious Mediterranean-style villa offers gorgeous views across the bay of Pals. There is more than enough space for families or large friend groups, thanks to the private pool and separate annexe. Located between the medieval town and golden beach of Pals, you'll want a car here to make the most of your stay. This home's bedrooms and bathrooms are all downstairs, so it might not be suitable for guests with less mobility. But the living room and kitchens on the top floor mean optimal views when dining alfresco or relaxing after a busy day.

Meeting / Conference Rooms

The countryside around this grand, Catalan mansion looks like a painting with verdant green forests meeting wildflower meadows. The view from the arched windows of the living room, across the green hills to the shimmering Mediterranean Sea, is a reminder that you’re just a ten-minute drive from the coast here. A day at the beach is possible at the secret bays of Cala del Crit and Cala el Golfet, both sandy coves hidden between the cliffs.

But we wouldn’t blame you if you ended up spending all your time at this luxurious, old-world villa instead. Sun terraces and shaded nooks offer sunseekers and wallflowers alike a place to spend the day. The fountain-fed Roman swimming pool invites you for a dip on a hot day and, wandering the expansive grounds, you’ll stumble across a tennis court and games area with ping pong. Outdoor dining is a treat with a huge table for the whole group in front of the summer kitchen and, if you’re hosting a special event, a marquee can be set up on the lawn.

The foundations of this home date back to the 14th century, and inside you can still get a feel for the medieval in the vaulted basement where you’ve got your own private spa. Down here, there’s an indoor swimming pool, steam room and sauna. Various lounges and sitting rooms allow the whole group to spread out and our favourite has to be the Rib-vaulted grand lounge with its Baroque painted ceiling harking back to a bygone era. Perhaps spend the evening taking it back to analogue in the library or snooker room. 

Spanish Nobility

Nestled amongst the Mediterranean woodland, this former 13th-century farmhouse is located between the foothills of the Pyrenees and the Spanish border. The well-designed interiors reflect the Catalan heritage, and the building benefits from ground-floor bedrooms and en-suites. Outside living is where this home shines – whether you want to unwind by the swimming pool, explore the gardens or enjoy a glass of Byrrh, a local aperitif on the terrace. The location suits those eager to explore the woodland, but the beaches aren't too far away either. 

Pyrenees Spirit 

This Spanish apartment provides a great base for exploring the beaches of Costa Brava – it's just a leisurely stroll from here to Sa Riera Beach, a gorgeous sandy spot where you can enjoy sea swimming or water sports.  Here, you'll enjoy access to the building's shared infinity pool, and enjoy some stellar sea views while you do your morning lengths. The home itself is pretty basic, but features some boho styling that gives it some character – we love the beachy decor and colourful soft furnishings.
